What causes Discoloured Teeth?

Before

Before

Yellow stains on the outside of teeth are generally controllable and occur when plaque is not cleaned from the teeth regularly, known as extrinsic staining. Eating and drinking tasty highly coloured things like coffee, red wine and curries, as well other not-so-healthy habits like smoking, all contribute to extrinsic stains. On the other hand, staining particles making their way inside the tooth are known as intrinsic stains. Tooth trauma at a young age or internal tooth bleeding and previous root canal treatment can create these stains.

How to treat yellow teeth

Professional Clean

Our Oral Health Therapists can gently remove any surface stains to brighten your smile.

ZOOM Whitening

Achieved using a lightening gel and a blue light for activation, or via a take-home kit for a more gradual change.

Internal Bleaching

If you have a darker tooth due to an old root canal, internal bleaching can be carried out to lift the colour.

Veneers

When intrinsic stains are visible but no other tooth issue exists, a lighter tooth-coloured material can be bonded to the front of the tooth.

Crown

When discolouration is not the only issue, and you require a suitable solution that achieves both aesthetics and health results. Both veneers and crowns are highly durable and look like real teeth with the benefit of precise colour matching to reach your desired shade.
