How Can Teeth Whitening Remove Stains?

February 12, 2019

Tooth discolouration is a natural part of ageing and occurs as tooth enamel thins, allowing the dentine underneath to shine through. Dentine can be yellow or even grey. As tooth enamel thins, it becomes more susceptible to staining. Also, a liking for highly coloured foods and drinks like coffee, tea and red wine, and even balsamic vinegar can leave your teeth looking less than their sparkling best.

Safely Whiten with a Professional Teeth Whitening Treatment

A professional teeth-whitening treatment will safely and effectively lift even deep-seated stains from your tooth enamel using high-quality whitening products only available to dental professionals. Before we can whiten your teeth, our dentist must check to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and free from disease. Ideally, it is better to have a hygiene treatment before whitening to remove all plaque and tartar buildup, increasing the efficacy of your treatment.

Choose from an in-chair whitening treatment or our convenient custom-made kits for use at home or combine both for an optimal outcome. An in-chair whitening treatment can rejuvenate your smile in as little as an hour. A take-home kit allows you to whiten at home, using custom-made trays that you fill with professional-grade whitening gel.
