Over time, teeth naturally lose brightness. Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods all leave stains. Even ageing alone can make enamel appear dull. Professional whitening treatment helps lift these stains and restore your teeth to a lighter shade.
At Dental Matters, whitening is carried out safely and effectively so you can enjoy a smile that feels renewed.
Why do teeth become stained?
Different factors can cause discolouration. Common causes include the following:
- Drinks such as coffee, tea, and wine
- Tobacco use
- Certain medications
- Natural ageing of the enamel
- Genetic factors that affect tooth colour
Booking an appointment with Dental Matters helps determine which whitening method will work best for you.
What is the whitening process like?
Professional whitening is designed to be safe for your teeth and gums. The process usually involves the following:
- An initial consultation at Dental Matters to check if whitening is suitable for your teeth
- Application of a whitening gel or solution designed to break down stains
- Careful monitoring to ensure your comfort and the best possible results
- Guidance on maintaining the new shade for longer
What results can you expect?
Whitening does not permanently change the colour of your teeth, but it can make them several shades lighter. Results vary depending on the type of staining and your natural enamel. Regular touch-ups, combined with good daily habits, help maintain the effect.
How do you keep your teeth whiter for longer?
After whitening, you can protect your results by doing the following:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Limiting staining drinks like coffee and tea
- Rinsing your mouth with water after meals
- Avoiding tobacco products
- Scheduling regular cleaning appointments at Dental Matters
