Teeth whitening is the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry procedure. Teeth whitening falls into the cosmetic dentistry category because it is designed to enhance your appearance by reducing tooth discoloration and staining to elicit a brighter, whiter smile.
You may feel that your teeth are too discoloured to ever be white again, but we are achieving amazing results with the latest whitening techniques.
The Prevalence of Tooth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration and staining is a relatively common problem. Teeth are porous and are, therefore, not stain resistant. Red wine, fizzy drinks, coffee and tea, among other food and drink, contribute to the discoloration of teeth over time. Medications such as the antibiotic tetracycline may cause significant staining, resulting in yellow, greyish teeth. Smokers' teeth can become permanently stained if the discoloration is not treated in a timely manner.
Tooth brushing alone can't brighten teeth dulled by years of exposure to such discolouring agents. In fact, people with dull teeth sometimes over-brush in an attempt to eliminate stains, and this can harm the enamel.
Unlike many cheaper versions seen in chemists today, teeth whitening procedures performed by our dentists may potentially whiten your teeth up to 14 shades, correcting serious discoloration issues.
