Discoloured Teeth
Are your teeth looking dull or discoloured?
A bright, white smile is something many people desire, and achieving it may be easier than you think. While at-home teeth whitening kits are readily available, there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding these products, and some can do more harm than good to your oral health. That’s why knowing which options are safe and effective is essential. More often than not, investing in professional teeth whitening treatments with your dentist is the smarter choice. Not only are they safer, but they also deliver better and longer-lasting results, saving you time, money, and potential dental issues in the long run.
What Causes Yellow Teeth
Yellow teeth can occur due to two main types of staining. Extrinsic staining refers to yellow discolouration on the tooth enamel, often caused by plaque buildup from irregular or improper cleaning. Lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee, red wine, or soft drinks, and smoking can also contribute to this external staining. Intrinsic staining occurs within the tooth and may result from dental trauma, internal bleeding, or past root canal treatments.
At Whyalla Dental Care, we’ll identify the cause of your yellow teeth and recommend the most effective whitening treatment to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Tooth discolouration can impact a person’s confidence and social activity. At Whyalla Dental Care, we use advanced whitening treatments to remove stains and restore your teeth’s natural shine. Teeth whitening involves bleaching the enamel to remove stains, often using agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Our professional options include take-home whitening kits or in-chair treatments tailored to your needs and budget. We assess your dental health during your appointment to ensure safe and effective results.
Turn that dream of having a pearly white smile into a reality.
Teeth Whitening Treatments
-
Our Oral Health Therapists can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup, common causes of tooth discolouration. By removing these deposits, your teeth will appear smoother and brighter, giving the appearance of a whiter smile.
-
ZOOM! whitening is a quick, light-activated procedure that lightens discoloured tooth enamel. This non-invasive treatment takes 45 to 60 minutes and delivers noticeable results in a single visit.
-
If you have a discoloured tooth due to a previous root canal, internal bleaching offers a painless and effective solution to restore its natural appearance.
-
Veneers can provide a cosmetic solution for intrinsic stains that don’t respond to whitening treatments. A thin, tooth-coloured material is bonded to the front of the tooth for a whiter smile.
-
When structural issues accompany discolouration, crowns may be the ideal choice. Crowns are durable and designed to improve the appearance and function of teeth. Like veneers, they are precisely colour-matched to create a natural-looking smile.
