The Causes of Tooth Discolouration

Tooth discolouration can result from various factors, some of which we can control and others that are beyond our influence. Here are some common causes:

‍

Dietary Choices: Consuming dark-coloured foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, cola, berries, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar can lead to staining over time.

Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco introduces nicotine and tar, causing persistent stains on your teeth.

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar to build up, leading to discolouration.

Medications: Certain medications, particularly antibiotics like tetracycline taken during tooth development, can cause intrinsic discolouration.

Ageing: As you age, tooth enamel wears down, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.

Dental Trauma: Injuries to your teeth can cause increased dentin production, which can darken the appearance of your teeth.

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening offers numerous advantages that go beyond just enhancing the appearance of your smile. Here are some key benefits:

‍

Effective Results: Dental professionals use stronger bleaching agents and advanced techniques, ensuring more noticeable and longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products.

Customised Approach: Our treatments are tailored to your specific needs, taking into account the current shade of your teeth and your desired outcome.

Safe and Supervised: Under the care of a trained dentist, the risk of over-bleaching or damaging your teeth and gums is minimised, ensuring a safe and controlled process.

Reduced Sensitivity: We use techniques to minimise sensitivity during and after the procedure, making the experience more comfortable for you.

Consistent Whitening: Unlike at-home kits that can result in uneven whitening, professionals ensure a consistent and even shade across all your teeth.

Time Efficiency: Professional teeth whitening procedures typically offer quicker and more immediate results compared to gradual at-home treatments.

Types of Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments

At THIS IS IT DENTAL, we offer several types of professional teeth whitening treatments to suit different preferences and needs:

‍

Clinic-Based Teeth Whitening: This rapid and highly effective option delivers immediate results. During a clinic session, your dentist applies a strong bleaching gel to your teeth and activates it with a special light or laser. The process usually takes about an hour and can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single session.

Combination Treatment: This approach combines the benefits of both clinic-based and take-home treatments. Typically, it involves an initial clinic whitening session to jumpstart the process, followed by the use of custom trays and whitening gel at home. This combination optimises immediate results and offers long-term maintenance.

What to Expect During a Professional Teeth Whitening Procedure

Understanding the process can help ease any anxiety and ensure you’re prepared for your professional teeth whitening procedure:

‍

Initial Consultation: We start with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess your oral health and determine if teeth whitening is suitable for you. We will also discuss your whitening goals.

Preparation: Before beginning the whitening treatment, your teeth will be cleaned to remove any surface plaque and debris. This ensures the whitening agent can work more effectively.

Protection: Your gums and other soft tissues will be protected with a barrier to prevent irritation from the whitening agent.

Application of Whitening Agent: The whitening agent, typically a gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied to the surface of your teeth.

Activation: Depending on the product used, the whitening agent may be activated with a special light or laser, enhancing its effectiveness.

Rinse and Repeat: After a set period, the whitening agent is rinsed off, and the process may be repeated until the desired shade is achieved.

Final Rinse and Post-Treatment Care: Once the whitening process is complete, your teeth will be rinsed, and a fluoride treatment may be applied to help reduce any potential sensitivity.

Tips for Maintaining a Bright Smile After Whitening

After investing in professional teeth whitening, it’s important to follow some simple tips to maintain your bright smile:

‍

Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Minimise consumption of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries.

Practise Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice daily, floss regularly, and use a whitening toothpaste to help remove surface stains.

Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups to maintain your oral health and keep your smile bright.

Avoid Tobacco Products: Smoking or using other tobacco products can quickly stain your teeth, so it’s best to avoid them altogether.

Use a Straw: When drinking beverages that can stain your teeth, use a straw to minimise contact with your teeth.

Touch-Up Treatments: Depending on the type of whitening treatment you receive, your dentist may recommend periodic touch-up treatments to maintain your results.
