If you’ve noticed your teeth darkening or becoming discoloured, you’re not alone.

Age, lifestyle and health factors all play a role.

Common Causes

• Diet: tea, coffee, red wine, turmeric
• Smoking or ageing
• Medications or excess fluoride in childhood
• Trauma or grinding
• Tooth wear and enamel loss

Preventing Discolouration

• Brush twice daily and floss once
• See your hygiene therapist regularly
• Reduce stain-inducing foods and smoking

Cosmetic Solutions

• Professional stain removal
• Tooth whitening with bespoke trays and gel
• Veneers for moderate to severe discolouration

Tooth whitening shows results in 2-4 weeks. Veneers can fully restore your smile in 4-6 weeks.
