Fix Discoloured Tooth

Tooth discolouration can happen gradually over time or affect certain teeth more noticeably than others. In some cases, it is caused by everyday staining. In others, the colour change comes from wear, past dental treatment, trauma, or changes within the tooth itself.

Common causes include:

• Coffee, tea, and red wine

• Smoking

• Natural ageing

• A tooth darkening after trauma

• Older fillings or restorations

• Wear and thinning enamel

Understanding the reason behind the colour change helps determine the most suitable treatment.

Some smiles are affected by general yellowing or staining, while others involve one or two teeth that look noticeably darker, patchier, or out of balance with the rest.

This might include:

• Overall staining

• One dark tooth

• Uneven colour across the smile

• White, brown, or patchy areas

• Old dental work that no longer matches

• Teeth that look dull from wear

The best treatment depends on what type of discolouration is present and how much improvement is needed.

There are different ways to improve discoloured teeth, depending on the cause and the kind of result you want. Some patients need only whitening, while others benefit from a more tailored cosmetic approach.

Treatment options may include:

• Professional teeth whitening

• Composite bonding

• Composite or porcelain veneers

• Porcelain crowns

• Replacing old restorations that no longer match

We will recommend the option that best improves colour while keeping the result natural and well balanced.

A beautiful result is not simply about making teeth as white as possible. The most attractive smiles usually look bright, healthy, and natural rather than unnaturally uniform or over-whitened.

We look carefully at:

• Shade and brightness

• Harmony across the whole smile

• Whether one tooth needs different treatment from another

• The relationship between tooth colour and skin tone

• How the final result will age over time

The goal is a smile that feels fresher and more polished, while still looking believable.

Every smile is different, which is why every treatment begins with a personalised consultation.

We'll take the time to understand your priorities and goals, assess your oral health and recommend the treatment that's right for you.

During your consultation, we'll discuss:

• Your personalised treatment options

• Your expected treatment timeline

• Upfront treatment costs

• Available payment options and finance where applicable

Our goal is to make the process clear, transparent and stress-free, so you feel informed and confident before moving forward with your treatment.
