What Causes Tooth Discolouration?

Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors including:

  • Food and drinks: Consuming certain foods and drinks with strong pigments such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark berries can stain the teeth over time.
  • Tobacco: Smoking or using tobacco products can cause yellow or brown stains on the teeth.
  • Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing and flossing regularly can lead to the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can cause discolouration.
  • Genetics: Some people may naturally have teeth that are more prone to discolouration due to their genetic makeup.
  • Aging: As we age, the enamel on our teeth wears down, which can lead to the yellowing of the teeth.
  • Trauma: Physical trauma to the teeth can cause them to become discoloured as a result of internal bleeding or calcification.
Professional Teeth Whitening Services Vs. At Home Teeth Whitening Products
We offer comfortable and professional Zoom teeth whitening in London, Ontario that is long-lasting and can be completed during one appointment. Zoom in-office whitening is a popular option because the hydrogen peroxide mixed with LED high-intensity light can brighten your smile by up to six shades in just an hour. Your lips and gums will be protected. Over-the-counter teeth whitening options, however, while more affordable and convenient, typically contain lower concentrations of bleaching agents and may not be as effective in achieving the desired level of whitening as professional services.

Things To Consider

When deciding between professional whitening or store-bought teeth whitening products, here are some things to consider:

Effectiveness

The Zoom whitening procedure done by our dentist is generally more powerful and provides longer-lasting results compared to an at-home whitening kit.

Safety

When you get your teeth whitened at a dental office, you're minimizing the risk of potential side effects or damage to your teeth, lips, and gums.

Customization

Our dental services, including the teeth whitening procedure, can be tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals, taking into account factors such as sensitive teeth and existing dental work.

Convenience

At-home teeth whitening products are generally more convenient and affordable but may require more time and multiple applications to achieve the desired results and can also affect the health of your teeth if not applied correctly.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Having a smile that personally makes you feel happier and healthier comes with a lot of benefits.

Improved Confidence

Some patients may experience improved self-confidence, leading to the willingness to smile more and interact with others.

Enhanced Appearance

Teeth whitening can help to remove stains and discolouration that are often caused by things like coffee, wine, smoking, etc.

Better Oral Hygiene

Teeth whitening services in London go hand-in-hand with regularly scheduled teeth cleaning where the removal of plaque, tartar, and other debris can improve overall oral health.

Positive First Impression

Patients wanting to convey professionalism, confidence, and an overall sense of well-being may be able to achieve this with teeth whitening.

Long-lasting Results

With proper care and maintenance, teeth whitening can provide long-lasting results, helping to maintain a bright and healthy smile for years to come.

How Long Do The Results Last?
In most cases, patients can expect results to last for up to 12 months. As mentioned above, teeth whitening goes hand-in-hand with dental hygiene appointments, which should be scheduled at least twice a year. Maintaining good oral hygiene at home and following aftercare instructions will make the effects last even longer.
