Tooth stains can make your smile look dull and aged, even with good oral hygiene. We offer professional stain removal treatments that can effectively eliminate surface stains and deeper discolouration, revealing a brighter, more vibrant smile.
Extrinsic stains (on the surface) are caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods. Intrinsic stains (within the tooth) can result from medications, fluorosis, trauma, or aging. The type of stain determines the most effective treatment approach.
For surface stains, professional cleaning using Airflow or traditional scaling and polishing can make a significant difference. This removes tartar and plaque along with surface staining, often revealing noticeably whiter teeth underneath.
For deeper or more stubborn staining, professional whitening may be recommended. This penetrates the enamel to break down stain molecules within the tooth. It's particularly effective for aging-related yellowing and many types of intrinsic staining.
For stains that don't respond to cleaning or whitening (like severe fluorosis or tetracycline staining), veneers or dental bonding can provide an aesthetic solution by covering the stained teeth with natural-looking material.
