A concern we treat
Stained or discoloured teeth
Surface staining lifts with professional whitening; deeper discolouration may need bonding or veneers.
In short
Most yellowing and dulling from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco and age is surface or age-related and responds well to supervised professional whitening. Deeper, intrinsic discolouration — from old fillings, trauma, or certain medications — sits inside the tooth and whitening cannot always shift it.
We assess the type of discolouration first. If whitening will work, it is by far the most conservative choice. If it will not, targeted bonding or a veneer on the affected teeth restores an even shade.
