Coffee, red wine, smoking, lifestyle factors, genetics and even some medications or anti-biotics can cause discolouration or staining of teeth. Often, no amount of brushing and care can lift these stains, and professional intervention is sought. Discoloured and darker teeth can visually age the face, and teeth whitening is an extremely popular treatment.
Overall tooth discolouration can be treated externally using bleaching methods, however sometimes discolourations of teeth can be caused by issues inside the teeth, such as devitalised teeth that have undergone root canal, and may require internal whitening by cleaning the inside ‘pulp’ of the tooth and filling it.
Our Treatment Options for Stained Teeth
- LaserBrite Teeth Whitening uses a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a specialised accelerating light source to whiten teeth.
- At-Home Bleaching Trays are custom made moulds to fit over your teeth in combination with a dental grade whitening gel. This can be used after professional whitening for a whitening boost, or alone for a gradual whitening.
- Laser Whitening uses particular laser wavelengths to remove stained particles from the teeth.
- Veneers can be used to create a permanently whiter smile. In some cases where tooth whitening might not achieve the desired results, minimal thickness veneers can be placed over the top of teeth, creating a whiter, natural looking surface.
