Causes of Tooth Discolouration
Teeth whitening helps reduce stains and discolourations on teeth, and there are many different reasons teeth don’t stay white.
Food and Drinks
Coffee, soda, wines, and even certain fruits and vegetables can stain your teeth.
​
Tobacco
Many people experience discolouration due to smoking or chewing tobacco, and you may need teeth whitening more frequently if you’re trying to combat the effects of these habits.
​
Disease and medication
Certain diseases can lead to tooth discolouration, but medications and treatments can also cause stains.
​
Stained or Older Fillings or Crowns
Dental fillings and crowns can discolour or become stained over time. Different situation calls for different solutions. Let us examine thoroughly and provide you with the appropriate recommendations.
What to Expect With Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening at home is similar to whitening your teeth in the office, but at the convenience of your own space and time. The process can vary slightly, but typically, it involves the following steps:
Preparing for Teeth Whitening
The dentist starts the process by examining your teeth in the office and setting up goals and baseline colour for whitening.
Detailed instructions will be given to you with regard to usage and precautions.
Protecting Your Gums
The trays that we use can steer stimulation away from the surrounding gums.
This can will minimize gum irritation and sensitivities afterwards.
Whitening the Teeth
The appropriate dosage and instruction is given to you to use at home.
The result and progress is monitored together in our office and at your own pace.
