What Stains Our Pearly Whites?
Ever wonder why your pearly whites turn into not-so-pearly not-so-whites? Tooth discolouration can be caused by two main factors:
1. Outlying Factors
- Food and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, dark-coloured sodas, and even some fruits can stain your teeth over time.
- Tobacco: Smoking and chewing tobacco are notorious for leaving behind unsightly yellow stains.
- Certain Medications: Some antibiotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications can also affect tooth colour.
2. Biological Factors
- Ageing: As we age, the enamel on our teeth naturally thins, revealing the yellow dentine layer underneath.
- Genetics: Some people are simply predisposed to having more yellow teeth than others.
- Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development, typically in childhood, can cause fluorosis, leading to teeth discolouration.
Different Types of Tooth Discolouration
Not all stains are created equal! Here are the two main types of tooth discolouration:
- Extrinsic Stains: These stains sit on the surface of the enamel and are usually the easiest to remove with professional or at-home whitening treatments.
- Intrinsic Stains: These stains penetrate deeper into the tooth and can be more challenging to remove. They may require more potent whitening treatments or even veneers.

In-Chair Teeth Whitening
In-Chair Teeth Whitening, also known as in-office or professional whitening, is a highly effective and efficient way to achieve noticeable results in a single session. Our skilled dental professionals perform this procedure, ensuring both safety and optimal results. The Philips Zoom whitening gel, containing an advanced formula to break down stains and discolouration, is carefully applied to your teeth. The Zoom light is then directed onto the gel, activating its whitening properties. This process is repeated in three to four 15-minute sessions, depending on the level of whitening desired.

Double the Whitening Power
Want to achieve maximum brightness and long-lasting results? Consider combining professional and at-home whitening treatments for a two-pronged attack on discolouration. Here’s how it works:
Professional Kickstart
Begin with an in-office Philips Zoom treatment for a dramatic initial whitening boost. This removes tough surface stains and provides a clean slate for further whitening at home.
At-Home Maintenance
Follow up with regular at-home whitening with Philips Zoom products like WhiteSpeed Gel, DayWhite Pen, or NiteWhite Gel. This helps maintain the initial brightness and prevent new stains from forming.
Frequently Ask Questions
The culprits are numerous, lurking in our genes, habits, and even medications. Some common culprits include:
Lifestyle: Smoking and indulging in staining culprits like coffee, tea, and red wine can cast a dark shadow on your smile.
Diet: Sugary treats and acidic beverages like soda are acidic, slowly eroding enamel and revealing the darker dentin beneath.
Medication: Certain antibiotics and antihistamines can have the unwanted side effect of yellowing teeth.
Genetics: Some of us are simply predisposed to having less white enamel, making us more susceptible to staining.
There's a whole spectrum of whitening options, each with its own pros and cons:
Natural methods: Brushing with baking soda, using activated charcoal, or even oil pulling can offer mild brightening effects. However, their effectiveness is limited and may not be suitable for everyone.
Over-the-counter products: Whitening toothpaste and strips can help remove surface stains, but their impact is often temporary.
Professional treatments: In-chair whitening at the dentist's office delivers the most potent results, using concentrated bleaching agents to penetrate deeper stains. Home whitening kits supervised by a dentist offer a convenient option with professional guidance.
This popular in-office treatment explicitly targets the dentin layer, where stubborn stains hide. Its secret weapon? Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide work their magic by reacting with staining compounds, leaving your smile visibly brighter.
The longevity of your white smile depends on your lifestyle choices after treatment. Frequent staining culprits like coffee and cigarettes can shorten its lifespan, while good oral hygiene and avoiding acidic foods can help you maintain a sparkling grin.
Teeth whitening has been researched for over 20 years, and there are no adverse reactions to it. Pregnant women, individuals with allergies to whitening ingredients, and those with sensitive teeth may need to proceed with caution. Additionally, any existing crowns or veneers won't be affected by whitening, so managing expectations is critical.
Some people experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this usually subsides within a few days. Using sensitive toothpaste before and after treatment can help minimise discomfort.
Our dentist will provide personalised tips to maintain your newly acquired pearly whites. Remember, good oral hygiene and a healthy diet are your best friends in the quest for a lasting smile.
