YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS
FOR DISCOLOURED TEETH
FOR DISCOLOURED TEETH
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are one of the best dental solutions for treating discoloured teeth. These are thin, tooth-coloured ceramic shells that are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth, instantly whitening your smile.
Dental crowns
This treatment is often recommended by dentists to improve the appearance and function of weakened or decayed teeth. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that slot over your teeth, shielding them from damage.
Professional teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that whitens the shade of your natural teeth. Your dentist will apply a bleaching agent to your teeth and shine a UV light onto your mouth to activate the whitening technology, resulting in a whiter smile.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding involves applying a tooth-coloured composite resin to the surface of your teeth to hide stains. This is done in-house by a trained cosmetic dentist.

If your stained teeth are causing you to feel self-conscious, cosmetic dental treatments can rejuvenate your smile and leave you with more pleasing, whiter teeth.
If the discolouration occurs alongside symptoms including bleeding gums, bad breath, pain or holes in your teeth, we recommend speaking with your dentist to schedule an appointment, as other oral issues may need to be treated first.

FAQs about Tooth Discolouration
What is tooth discolouration?
Tooth discolouration, or stained teeth, is a change in the natural colour of your teeth. This can appear as stains, spots or a general darkening or yellowing. From lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee to taking certain medications, there are numerous reasons why yellow stains on teeth can develop.
Even if you have excellent oral health and care for your teeth well, discolouration can still occur.
Types of tooth discolouration
There are different types of discolouration you can experience:
• Extrinsic - This discolouration refers to staining on the enamel, which is the outer surface of your teeth.
• Intrinsic - This type of discolouration affects your dentin, which is the inside layer of your teeth underneath.
• Age-related - Your tooth enamel thins as you get older, meaning your teeth are more susceptible to staining.
What does the colour of my tooth stain mean?
Not all discolouration looks the same, and each shade can help dentists to determine the cause of tooth staining:
• Yellow stains on teeth are typically caused by dark coloured beverages and foods, bad dental hygiene and ageing.
• Brown stains can be the result of tobacco and smoking cigarettes or cigars.
• Grey teeth can signal that your teeth nerves have died, usually as a result of dental trauma.
• Black teeth usually indicate decay.
• Purple stains can occur due to red wine consumption.
Can I whiten my teeth at home?
You can use home-whitening treatments to brighten your stained teeth; however, it’s typically not as effective as professional in-house whitening provided by an experienced dental professional, like Dr Oliver.
