Wondering About Whitening?
Did you know that most professional whitening procedures use the same active ingredient as over-the-counter strips, but at a stronger percentage? This allows for faster and more long-lasting results. Over time, teeth naturally darken and accumulate stains due to aging. Professional whitening at Brightside Dental Care removes this build-up and can also alter the color of the tooth itself, giving you a brilliantly bright smile!
At Brightside Dental Care, we offer an at-home whitening system tailored to the individual needs of our patients in Brandon, Stonewall, Portage la Prairie, and Winnipeg.
The process is simple: come in for an impressions appointment to create customized trays that perfectly fit your teeth. When your custom trays are ready, we will show you how to apply a small amount of gel into the trays and insert them into your mouth. This process can be repeated for one to two hours daily for 10-14 days until your desired whiteness is achieved.
The whitening procedure is pain-free and can be touched up whenever you want. At Brightside Dental Care, the initial whitening setup is just $130, and once you run out of whitening gel, touch-up kits are only $35 each—cheaper than a single pack of Crest Whitestrips!
Please note that false teeth or parts of teeth (crowns, fillings, or veneers) will not change color when you whiten, which may result in a mismatched look. However, if you’re committed to a whiter smile, your dentist at Brightside can replace any prominent fillings or veneers to match your new, brighter teeth.
Mind the Gap: Solutions for Missing Teeth
Did you know that the average adult between the ages of 20 and 64 has three or more decayed or missing teeth? Several factors, including bone loss, premature aging, inadequate nutrition, injury, or problems with adjacent teeth, can lead to tooth loss. This can put nearby teeth at risk of shifting or deteriorating.
Missing teeth can make chewing difficult and may lead to pain and embarrassment, so restoring those teeth can make a significant difference in your quality of life.
At Brightside Dental Care, we offer several options for restoring your smile, including bridges, dentures, and implants. Bridges are effective for replacing multiple teeth and are anchored to adjacent teeth. Dental implants consist of titanium roots positioned beneath your gums, topped with a false tooth. Implants encourage bone stability, deter bone loss, and preserve adjacent teeth. If you’ve lost all or most of your teeth, dentures may be the best solution.
Schedule a consultation with your dentist at Brightside Dental Care to determine which option is best for you, and take the first step towards a complete smile in Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Stonewall, or Winnipeg!
