Effective teeth whitening procedures
Teeth whitening can be an effective method to whiten and brighten teeth that may have become stained.
However, when it comes to discolouration or fluorosis, in the majority of cases, if the problem is visible then the condition is already deep-set.
Teeth whitening may help to cover the stains, however, it is not a long-term solution.
It’s important to remember that this all depends on the severity of your condition.
It’s advisable to speak to a cosmetic dentist, who can point you in the right direction to improve your oral health and enhance your aesthetics.
A cosmetic condition that affects the teeth, fluorosis is often caused by being overly exposed to fluoride.
Once permanent teeth come in, the teeth may only appear to be mildly discoloured, where only lacy white markings can be detected.
However, in the most severe cases, teeth may have:
- Heavy yellow or dark brown staining
- Noticeable dental pits and fissures
- Irregularities present to the surface of teeth
Whilst, patients suffering from fluorosis tend not to have dental caries, which means the tooth is not affected by decay, patients instead suffer the most from brown staining that can make the teeth look corroded.
The main cause of fluorosis is excessive use of dental products (toothpaste/mouthwash etc.) containing fluoride. It can also be caused by taking a fluoride supplement.
Symptoms include:
- Small white specks
- Streaks of white
- Dark brown stains
- Rough pitted enamel
There are various reasons why teeth may become stained – the main causes of discolouration include:
- Coffee, tea, soda, wine, particular fruit and veg
- The use of tobacco
- Underlying conditions and disease
- Certain medications
- Ageing and genetics
To enhance the look of your smile and correct any imperfections, cosmetic dental solutions are often the most recommended.
Most procedures also benefit oral health and hygiene as well as aesthetics.

Veneers to whiten teeth
Veneers permanently conceal smile imperfections caused by discoloured and pitted teeth.
Due to advancements in technology, veneers are wafer-thin shells that are resistant to staining. Plus they are known to be strong and very durable.
Involving no shaving, drilling or altering of the tooth shape, veneers are applied to the front surface of the tooth. They will only require roughing of the enamel for it to be cemented securely.
Get an interest-free loan in under 5 minutes
It only takes 2 minutes to apply and you’ll get an answer immediately – applying for a loan has never been easier. 0% finance is available for many treatments up to £30,000. Credit decisions will be subject to individual circumstances. You must be over 18 and earn an income to apply.
Bonding to brighten teeth
Using a tooth coloured composite resin, the dentist can apply it to multiple teeth to restore any damage.
One of the most cost-effective treatments, it is cheaper than other cosmetic procedures.
However, this is because it is not considered a permanent option. This is because it is not as strong as porcelain.
