Do your teeth seem dull or yellow regardless of how often you brush?
It’s not what’s on your teeth, but more accurately what’s in your teeth, causing them to appear as they do. Teeth, over time can be stained by coffee, tea, red wine, and will dull naturally with aging.
Teeth Whitening has become a popular dental procedure in recent years. Whitening is a mild bleaching process that restores stained or discoloured teeth to a healthy, white colour, and is very safe under the supervision of a dental professional.
Whitening results last for as long as a year and with touch-ups treatments (at home) every few months results can last even longer. Some patients may experience heightened tooth sensitivity or mild tooth or gum sensitivity during treatment, but these symptoms are only temporary and disappear within a few days after the treatment is finished.
Reason for Tooth Discolouration include:
 Drinking coffee, tea, wine or soft drinks stains teeth- Natural Aging – the dentin underneath the enamel of a tooth darkens
- Smoking or any tobacco use stains teeth
- Accidents – a dead nerve will darken a tooth
- Root Canal Therapy
