Say Goodbyeto Stained Teeth

Why do I have yellow or dark teeth?

Day to day activities such as drinking tea, coffee, colas, red wine and smoking tobacco can cause undue stress and strain on the colour of your teeth.

If you are not happy with the discolouration of your teeth, we have a solution! Tooth whitening!

Reveal YourTrue Confidence.

Home Whitening

Home teeth whitening is cheaper and it helps you get a better result with the new advanced materials that have been invented.

Generally you spend about an hour a day for about 7 to 14 days and your teeth will be whiter & brighter.

Office Whitening

Office teeth whitening (sometime called power bleaching) generally take about an hour to hour and a half of your time.

Examples are Pola Office, Opalescence, Zoom, Laser Smile, Rembrandt, Brite Smile, Smart Bleach, OpusWhite.

All have the same relative result.

Deep Bleaching

Involves 3 stages

One visit to the practice for priming your teeth

2 weeks of special home whitening that you wear overnight

Then the deep bleaching in the final visit in the practice with Kor Whitening

How often can I Whitening My Teeth?

Current research shows that whitening should be done in regularly if you want to maintain a white bright smile.

This is where you have your initial teeth whitening procedure and a booster teeth whitening kit can be used to every three to six months to maintain the natural look and feel.

Is tooth whitening for everybody?

The last point to remember is that not everybody benefits from tooth whitening & therefore other solutions may be more appropriate such as Porcelain Veneers.

Are there any prerequisites to teeth whitening?

The most important thing though to consider is that you have a very healthy mouth before you carry out these procedures:

There are two conditions you should be concerned about

Gum disease like gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is caused by a collection of tartar on your teeth.

The whitening gel will whiten the tartar and damage your gums if you have any of these conditions and when in the future you get your teeth cleaned the teeth underneath will still be stained

Tooth decay. The whitening gel can creep into the nerve of your tooth causing severe pain if you have tooth decay

Therefore it is highly recommended that you have had a checkup done in the last three months before you have whitening done.

Most of the bleaching gels available are exactly the same.

There is very little difference from one dentist to another, because the gels are formulated by the relatively the same chemical.

The only difference between different brands is the concentration of the gels.

The higher the concentration of the gel the faster and better the bleaching process.

However, the downside is the more sensitive your teeth get during the bleaching process.

You should remember that the sensitivity is only temporary.

Most of the bleaching gels available at retail stores are of very poor quality.

They’ve been sitting in a warehouse or on a truck for who knows how long – and, because they are designed to be “low cost” (with low cost being sometimes the only consideration), they have very low concentrations of active ingredients.

The process involved in home whitening is as follows.

We need to make sure you teeth have had a good scale and clean in the last six months.

If not then we need to get them cleaned.

You wouldn’t want to whiten your tartar or calculus would you?

Impressions/moulds are taken to make special trays that fit your mouth, the gel is then placed in the trays and the tray inserted in your mouth for a set time we have suggested.

Generally the higher the concentration, the shorter the period of time per day that you leave the gel in your mouth.

As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin.

This bleaches out the discoloured areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed & the colour of the tooth is simply made lighter.

Why do dentists charge differently?

Prices vary between various dentists based on

The type of material that has been supplied (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide)

The concentration of the material provided (2% all the way to 35%)

The number of tubes that has been provided for home whitening

The number of cycles in office whitening ( one cycle to 4 cycles)

Don’t be fooled with cheap prices. There are always hidden charges when you actually get the procedure done.

Also it is always safer to have a dentist do your whitening as in the dental practice we protect your gums and other tissues such as cheeks and lips from being burned.

People who claim to do whitening and are not dental professionals can cause serious damage.

There have been multiple cases of severe burns with whitening when not carried out by a dentist.

Stained Teeth: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment

A bright, healthy smile can demonstrate confidence and make those around you warm to you. But if your teeth are lacklustre, yellow, or even stained, you might not feel so good about sharing your smile. 

If your smile has lost its sparkle, you’re not alone. Many people experience discolouration and staining, and there are several potential causes. 

While brushing your teeth alone won’t bring them back to being perfectly white, there are other ways. 

In this guide, we’ll look at the causes of stained and discoloured teeth. We’ll also discuss how we can treat them and equip you with the know-how to ensure your smile stays bright. 

What Causes Discoloured or Stained Teeth?

There are several potential causes for stains and discolouration, some are preventable, others are unavoidable. 

Stains affecting the outer layer of your teeth are called extrinsic stains. This type of stain is often caused by diet. Common culprits for causing these stains include dark berries, coffee, tea, red wine, spicy food, and cola. Smoking can also leave extrinsic stains. 

When the stains penetrate the tooth, they can affect the dentin. This is the layer below the dental enamel. Potential causes for intrinsic stains include dental trauma, infection, and certain medications. Stains from smoking can become intrinsic. 

As we age, our dental enamel thins. This causes the darker-coloured dentin below the surface to show through, giving your once-white teeth a yellow appearance.

Other potential causes for discolouration include genetics and certain cancer treatments. 

Can You Tell the Cause of Stained Teeth By the Colour?

Discoloured teeth could turn yellow, brown, purple, or grey. You may also develop white or black spots on your teeth. 

Yellow teeth occur through ageing, diet, and poor oral hygiene. Smoking can turn your teeth brown; however, some brown marks may be tooth decay.  If your teeth are a shade of purple, you likely enjoy red wine. 

Grey teeth indicate that your nerve endings have died. This typically occurs as a result of dental infection or trauma. White spots are fluorosis, which is usually from consuming high levels of fluoride as a child. Black spots are caused by severe decay. 

How Are Stained and Discoloured Teeth Treated?

There are several ways that we can treat stained and discoloured teeth, including whitening treatments, composite bonding, and dental veneers. 

Teeth Whitening

A professional teeth whitening treatment can remove extrinsic and intrinsic stains. This safe, dentist-led treatment uses powerful whitening gels to lift stains and bring your teeth to a natural and healthy shade of white. 

You can undergo the treatments we provide in stages from the comfort of your home. We’ll provide you with custom whitening trays that apply the gel directly to your teeth. Using the trays and gel for around two weeks will improve the appearance of your smile. 

Composite Bonding

Sometimes called cosmetic bonding, this treatment uses tooth-coloured resin to fix several dental defects simultaneously. We can use this resin to cover any stains and discolouration. 

We begin by applying the resin to your teeth and blending it in until it looks natural. Next, we use a special light to harden the resin, leaving you with a restored tooth. Composite bonding is quick and painless. 

Dental Veneers

We can also use dental veneers to cover stained and discoloured teeth. Veneers are fine, life-like porcelain shells that coat the fronts and sides of your teeth. Once in place, they give your smile a bright, healthy appearance. 

How Can You Prevent Stained Teeth?

There are several ways to prevent staining and discolouration. Cutting out all food and drinks that cause stains isn’t always an option; however, you can limit the amount of them you consume and brush your teeth immediately after meals. 

Improve your oral hygiene by using a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice daily, floss, and use mouthwash. 

Drinking plenty of water can help reduce staining. If you’re a smoker, talk to us or your GP about ways to quit, and visit our clinic regularly for a checkup and hygiene visit.

ok wait what's everyone's character assassination pet peeve. like a trait writers or fans will give a character that is fairly insignificant but so blatantly ooc that it ignites the most primal of rage. mine is whenever i see sonic the hedgehog smoking

[nixie-deangel]

okay but retired from the Navy Bradley, who's let his curls grow long and has a bit of a tummy and isn't as defined as he was before/during/right after the mission meeting Jake again about a year later (so he's worked through a bit of his issues but not all of them but also having come to the realization he's actually been in love with Jake for more than a decade), who's now a flight instructor in North Island and smiling all soft and shy while Jake looks struck dumb, boy's walking into shit because he just can not get over how good Bradley looks now and is internally blue screening because he wants to climb Bradley like a try and falling through floors and windows as he comes to the startling realization he's been in love with Bradley for more than a decade.

Just. Soft Bradley, who's let himself go and worked on himself and lets himself come back into Jake's life to see if the spark is there on Jake's side.

And Jake constantly going through it because he's speed running coming to all these realizations about himself and Bradley and what he wants for his life and what he wants for them.

saw some clown on here whining about other people not liking kissing and reducing it to the gross parts and that it’s indicative of a society that fears flesh (which yes it does but that’s not how to go about making the point) and blah blah fucking blah

anyway instead of being a salty bitch and getting into an internet argument with some stranger I’m gonna be a Big Adult and use my rage and spite to remind all of you that

hating kissing is okay, you’re not weird or broken or a prude,

whether you’re asexual or allosexual it’s fine if you despise swapping spit with another human being, it doesn’t mean you love them any less, and you’re FINE. love is expressed in different ways. humans celebrate each other differently, love comes in different forms, it’s fine if you only want to kiss people you’re close to or not at all or literally anything in-between, and shaming people for hating an act of intimacy is fucked up. show love how you want. enjoy the company of others how you want. you don’t have to see kissing as anything more than the gross parts, and “reducing” it to that or whatever is just as okay as romanticizing it as something more. it’s just some ritual humans made up, and we’re allowed to feel literally any fucking way in the world about it.

live your life. be free.

notes on teeth. mine used to be pretty bad

[echollama]

Hearing Rooster Teeth shutting down is like hearing a distant family passing away: you see them maybe once a year at gatherings, you don't know their daily lives, you were close to them while you were younger but as time passes you've moved onwards elsewhere, and one day you hear they've passed on.

You feel indifferent mostly, but somewhere in there a little piece laments that they are no longer around.

i think the funniest thing about me as a person is that i'm often a nervous wreck and terrified of trying new things or screwing up, but my disrespect for authority is so strong that the second someone tries to suggest that i can't do something because they won't let me or don't believe i'm capable of it, it completely overwrites my anxiety and makes me determined to prove them wrong right then and there. unfortunately combined with my general impulsiveness and impatience this used to make me very easy to manipulate if you understood this about me as well as leading me to take some really stupidly dangerous risks (until i started working on my self awareness and critical thinking), but it did also lead to several very funny moments in my life where someone misplaced a lot of confidence in my inability to fight back and got their shit rocked when i stepped up and called their bluff.
