Two kinds of staining — both fixable.
Most discolouration falls into two camps: external staining from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco — and internal staining from things like fluorosis, ageing or trauma.
Understanding which is which is the key to choosing the right treatment — a hygiene visit, professional whitening, or cosmetic work like bonding or veneers.
Signs of staining.
The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:
- 01A general yellow or grey shade across all teeth
- 02Brown or yellow spots in specific areas
- 03A single tooth darker than the others
- 04Visible plaque or tartar near the gum line
- 05Loss of natural brightness compared to old photos
Where it comes from.
The most common culprits:
Don't wait it out.
Speak to your our practice dentist if you're experiencing any of the following — book an appointment as soon as you can:
- —Your teeth look noticeably darker than they used to.
- —Over-the-counter whitening hasn't worked.
- —You have one tooth that's darker than the rest.
- —You'd like a smile assessment before whitening.
In discomfort right now?
Yellow teeth rarely cause pain — but if you have sensitivity at the same time, let us know when you call so we can plan a comfortable treatment.
A plan, not a quick fix.
We'll examine your teeth, recommend a professional clean to remove surface staining, and where suitable plan custom-made take-home whitening or in-clinic whitening for a brighter, more even smile.
