Cosmetic Dentistry
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to lighten certain types of discoloration in natural teeth. The appropriate option depends on the cause of the staining, the condition of your teeth, and your oral health.
Some discoloration is caused by surface stains, while other colour changes originate inside a tooth. These different causes may respond differently to whitening, so a dental assessment is an important first step.
- Discuss the type and cause of tooth discoloration.
- Check for dental concerns that may need attention first.
- Understand potential sensitivity and treatment limitations.
Know the Causes
What Can Cause Tooth Discoloration?
Understanding why teeth have changed colour can help your dentist discuss suitable options and realistic expectations.
02
Age-Related Changes
Natural changes in tooth structure can affect the colour and appearance of teeth as you age.
03
Tobacco Stains
Tobacco use can stain teeth and is also associated with other oral health concerns.
04
Surface Plaque
Build-up and surface deposits can affect the appearance of teeth and may require professional cleaning.
05
Dental Trauma
A tooth that changes colour after an injury may need examination rather than cosmetic whitening alone.
06
Other Causes
Some medications, dental conditions, and changes within a tooth can cause discoloration that needs a different approach.
Your Dental Health
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Whitening is not suitable for everyone. Your dentist may need to assess tooth sensitivity, gum health, cavities, cracks, exposed roots, and the cause of any discoloration before discussing treatment.
Existing fillings, crowns, and veneers also matter because whitening products do not change their colour in the same way as natural teeth.
Good to know
Ask About a Consultation
If you have tooth pain, swollen gums, or a tooth that has suddenly darkened, seek dental assessment rather than relying on whitening products.

Common Questions
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Answers to common questions about whitening and dental assessment.
Does teeth whitening work on every type of stain?
No. Results depend on the cause and depth of discoloration. Some types of staining respond less predictably and may require a different dental approach.
Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. Tell your dentist about existing sensitivity before considering treatment.
Should I have a checkup before whitening?
A dental assessment can help identify cavities, gum concerns, or other conditions that may need attention before whitening is considered.
Will whitening change the colour of fillings or crowns?
No. Whitening does not lighten fillings, crowns, or veneers in the same way as natural teeth. Existing restorations should be discussed with your dentist.
Can I use home whitening products?
Products vary in ingredients and strength. Ask a dental professional which options, if any, are appropriate for your teeth and how to use them safely.
