IMPROVING THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR SMILE

Understanding Tooth Discoloration

Tooth discoloration can occur for several reasons and may affect the outer surface of the teeth or deeper layers within the tooth. Common factors such as food, beverages, lifestyle habits, and natural aging can gradually change the colour of your teeth.


While some stains can be removed with professional cleaning, others may require cosmetic treatments to improve the appearance of your smile. A dental evaluation can help determine the cause of discoloration and the most appropriate treatment. Common causes of stained or discolored teeth include:
