We find that many of our patients are displeased with the colour of their teeth.
While enamel is the strongest substance in our body, it is porous and can stain. Culprits include coffee, tea, fruit juices, red wine and smoking. Trauma to teeth, tetracycline staining, nerve degeneration or simple aging can also change the colour of teeth.
Whitening toothpastes are effective surface stain removers but they won't brighten your teeth. They also often consist of abrasives and may wear down enamel and expose yellow dentine, the vital tooth structure that lies beneath the enamel. With long-term usage, this may actually then give the appearance of yellowing teeth.
Teeth whitening is one of the most common forms of cosmetic dentistry. The Waterside Dental Clinic can brighten your smile with at-home customised tray whitening, so that you are no longer worried about the shade of your teeth.
