Common Causes of Tooth Discolouration and Staining
The colour of our teeth can change over time due to a variety of reasons, including –
- Regular consumption of food and drinks such as coffee, tea and red wine
- Regular smoking or tobacco use
- Thinning of the teeth enamel due to ageing
- Hereditary susceptibility to tooth discolouration than others
- Regular consumption of specific medications
No matter the cause of the blemishes or stains on teeth, teeth whitening has become one of the most widely used aesthetic dentistry treatments today. It is something we get asked about all the time in our Bayside dental practice, and we are happy to offer comprehensive teeth whitening solutions to address the varied aesthetic concerns of our patients.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work
The beauty of our teeth whitening procedures, compared with other cosmetic dental procedures, is that no tooth structure is damaged to achieve an aesthetic outcome. Instead, we use special whitening agents that are applied to the surface of your teeth, which work to change their base colour. These whitening agents have been proven to be safe, with no detrimental side effects in the short or long term.
It’s essential to keep in mind that people’s teeth whiten to different levels, so predicting the outcome for a particular set of teeth can be challenging. That is why we take a personalised approach, using lower concentrations of the bleaching chemical over a sustained period of time to produce the desired level of whitening. This method allows us to control the outcome for the best possible result.
Teeth whitening isn’t a permanent solution and may require repeat treatments to maintain the level of whiteness you desire. Depending on factors such as your diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene habits, the results of the whitening treatment can last from a few months to a few years.
Even though teeth whitening is a straightforward and generally safe treatment, we understand that some patients may still have concerns about the potential risks. If you have any questions about teeth whitening or our other dental health services in Bayside, Victoria, we’d love to answer them for you.
