Tooth Stains

Our Solutions for Brighter, Whiter Teeth: Options for Every Smile

Almost everyone is a candidate for some form of teeth whitening or stain removal. However, for very dark or intrinsically stained teeth (like those affected by tetracycline), traditional whitening methods might not be enough. That’s why we offer a comprehensive approach to ensure you get the best possible results:

Option 1: Professional Teeth Whitening (Zoom! Whitening)

• Ideal for: Most common stains and general brightening.
• The Zoom! Difference: This isn’t your average whitening system. Our professional Zoom! Teeth Whitening offers powerful in-office procedures for dramatic, quick results. The in-office treatment is often complemented by custom-designed take-home whitening trays for maintenance and further enhancement.
• Important Note: Teeth with grey or reddish shades, particularly those affected by tetracycline, are often more resistant to traditional teeth whitening. Depending on your desired results, we’ll advise if Zoom! is the best option for your specific type of stain.

Option 2: Veneers

• Ideal for: Very dark teeth (grey, brown, or reddish undertones, especially tetracycline-stained teeth), as well as addressing chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.
• The Gold Standard for Deep Stains: When the colour of a dark tooth comes from deep within its core (which is why traditional whitening methods often fail on tetracycline-stained teeth), veneers are the gold standard. These thin, custom-made porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, providing a beautiful, natural-looking solution with no limitations on blocking out the underlying dark colour. Veneers offer a complete smile transformation, giving you a flawless, bright appearance.

Option 3: AquaCare Air Abrasion

• Ideal for: Removing surface stains gently and effectively.
• Gentle & Effective Stain Removal: Our innovative AquaCare air abrasion system is a fantastic, comfortable option for removing superficial tooth stains. Using a gentle stream of air, water, and fine powder, AquaCare polishes away discolouration from coffee, tea, and other culprits, revealing a naturally brighter smile without the need for drilling or harsh chemicals. It’s an excellent addition to your regular clean for a fresh, sparkling finish.
