Why Does Your Teeth Get Stained or Discoloured?
Stains and discolouration can make your smile appear dull, affecting your confidence. They often result from everyday habits or natural changes over time, making them hard to avoid.
Diet, smoking, ageing, and certain medications play a major role in staining. Dark beverages and smoking leave lasting stains, while worn enamel reveals darker layers. Regular dental visits can help maintain a brighter smile and manage stubborn stains effectively. Understanding these causes can guide you in maintaining a healthier smile.
We provide high-quality dental services in a relaxed, comfortable setting. At our clinic, patient-focused care is at the heart of what we do.

Determining the Right Candidate for Effective Teeth Whitening Treatments

- Good oral health, free from gum disease or cavities, supports safe teeth whitening and helps achieve satisfactory results.
- Moderate discolouration from food, drinks, or smoking often responds well to whitening, revealing a brighter appearance and boosting confidence.
- Having realistic expectations about what can be achieved helps to maintain satisfaction with the results, making the experience more rewarding.
- Non-sensitive teeth reduce the chance of discomfort, making the whitening process more comfortable and less likely to cause sensitivity.

Whiter teeth can bring more than just a brighter smile. The advantages can positively impact your social interactions, confidence, and overall well-being.
- A whiter smile can boost your self-esteem, making you feel more at ease and confident in different social situations.

“I have already been to Azure twice in the 2 weeks it has been open and I've been super impressed. My first appointment was a general check up and clean with Maheer which was super easy, he was gentle and caused me no discomfort, I got to just lay back and enjoy Netflix on the roof mounted TV (nice touch). We got chatting at the end about some staining on my teeth and decided to book in a whitening session which I went back for today. Another good experience with Maheer, he was very attentive and the knowledge he shared with his dental assistant was fantastic. Great team with a really positive atmosphere. Highly recommend!” Read More

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQs section provides answers to common questions about teeth whitening, helping you achieve and maintain a brighter and more confident smile.
Why do teeth get stained or discoloured?
Teeth discolouration can happen for various reasons, and understanding the common causes can help manage and prevent further staining.
- Dietary habits:
Drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain teeth due to their high levels of tannins. Dark fruits and acidic foods also contribute by softening enamel, making it easier for stains to attach and accumulate. - Smoking:
Nicotine and tar in tobacco leave yellow or brown stains that are tough to remove. Over time, smoking also affects gum health and contributes to bad breath. - Ageing:
As enamel wears down, the yellowish dentin underneath becomes more visible, making teeth appear darker over time. - Medications:
Certain medications can lead to staining, especially when taken during early childhood or if they cause dry mouth, which can promote plaque build-up. - Poor oral hygiene:
Proper brushing and flossing are crucial in preventing the build-up of plaque and tartar, which can result in the formation of stubborn yellow or brown stains. These stains can be difficult to remove without professional cleaning.
By knowing what causes discolouration, you can make informed choices to keep your smile looking brighter.
How can I prevent my teeth from getting stained?
Keeping your teeth stain-free doesn’t have to be complicated. Following a few simple steps can help you maintain a bright smile.
- Brush and floss regularly:
It might sound basic, but brushing twice daily and flossing can make a big difference. This helps remove surface stains before they settle in. - Rinse after eating or drinking:
If you’ve just had coffee, tea, or berries, rinsing with water can prevent dark pigments from sticking to your teeth. - Use a straw:
When you sip drinks like iced tea or soda through a straw, the liquids are less likely to contact your teeth, which helps minimise staining. - Cut back on smoking:
When you smoke, the chemicals in tobacco can leave stubborn yellow stains. Quitting or cutting back can help your teeth look better in the long run. - Regular dental visits:
Getting a professional cleaning from your dentist every six months helps remove plaque and tartar that can cause your teeth to look dull.
These small steps can keep your teeth looking whiter for longer, making a noticeable difference in your smile.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening is generally safe when performed with proper care. Whether you choose in-office treatments or take-home kits, here’s what you should know:
- Professional supervision:
Whitening treatments at a dental clinic like Azure Dental Inglewood are closely monitored to protect your gums and teeth. - Sensitivity:
Some people may feel temporary sensitivity after whitening, but it usually fades within a day or two. Your dentist can suggest ways to ease any discomfort. - Quality products:
Professional whitening products are made to break down stains on the enamel without harming your teeth. While over-the-counter options are available, they may not be as effective as those a dentist offers. - Results vary:
Whitening results can differ from person to person. Some stains, like those caused by medications or injury, might not respond well to whitening, and alternative treatments like veneers could be a better option.
What’s the difference between at-home and professional whitening?
Both at-home and professional whitening methods can help brighten your teeth, but they differ in a few important ways:
- Strength of whitening agents:
Professional treatments use stronger whitening agents, providing quicker and more visible results. At-home kits have milder formulas, meaning results may take longer. - Results:
Professional whitening tends to achieve a more uniform and brighter shade of white. At-home whitening effects might be less intense and not as long-lasting compared to professional treatments. - Speed and convenience:
Professional whitening provides faster results in a single session, while at-home treatments require consistent use over several weeks. - Safety and monitoring:
The process is monitored during professional treatments to reduce the risk of sensitivity or gum irritation. At-home kits are safe when used as directed, but without supervision, there’s a greater chance of issues like overuse or irritation.
Both options are effective, but professional whitening offers quicker, more consistent results, while at-home kits require more time and effort.
How long does professional whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening can last 1 to 3 years, depending on your habits and lifestyle. Here are some factors that affect how long its effects last:
- Diet:
Consuming dark-coloured foods and drinks, like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can cause staining over time. This can shorten the lifespan of your teeth whitening results. - Smoking:
If you smoke, the teeth may stain faster. Nicotine and tar from tobacco can lead to persistent discolouration. - Oral hygiene:
Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly helps keep teeth clean and free of surface stains, allowing the whitening results to last longer. - Touch-up treatments:
Some people choose to have occasional whitening touch-ups, either at home or in-office. This helps maintain their bright smile over time.
Good dental care habits and mindful eating and drinking can prolong the effects of professional whitening for up to three years.
Can whitening damage my enamel?
Professional teeth whitening does not damage your enamel when done under proper care. Here’s what you should know about keeping your teeth safe:
- Professional treatments:
Whitening products used in dental clinics are carefully designed to remove stains without harming enamel. Dentists also take steps to protect the teeth and gums during the process. - Overuse of at-home products:
While professional treatments are safe, overusing store-bought whitening products can weaken enamel over time. It’s important to follow the product guidelines and avoid excessive use. - Temporary sensitivity:
Some people may feel temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this isn’t linked to enamel damage. It’s a normal response to the whitening treatment, and it usually goes away after a day or two.
Professional whitening provides a safe method to enhance the brightness of your smile without damaging your enamel.
Can all tooth stains be managed with whitening?
Not all stains respond to whitening treatments, as it depends on the type of stain and its cause. Here’s a breakdown of different types of stains:
- Extrinsic stains:
These are surface-level stains caused by foods, drinks, and smoking. They respond well to whitening treatments, as they only affect the outer layer of the tooth. - Intrinsic stains:
These are deeper stains that occur inside the tooth, often due to medications, trauma, or ageing. Whitening may have limited success with these, and other treatments like veneers might be more suitable.
It’s always a good idea to consult your dentist, who can evaluate the type of stain and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
How can I keep my teeth white after treatment?
Maintaining your bright smile after whitening requires diligent care. Here are some tips to help keep your teeth looking white for as long as possible:
- Brush and floss regularly:
Remember to brush your teeth twice daily and floss daily to remove surface stains and maintain clean teeth. This is essential for preserving the results of your whitening treatment. - Watch your diet:
Avoid consuming items that can discolour your teeth, like coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-coloured berries. If you consume these, consider rinsing your mouth with water afterwards. - Quit smoking:
Smoking is one of the major causes of tooth discolouration. Reducing or quitting smoking can help preserve your whitening results. - Use whitening toothpaste:
Whitening toothpaste can help prevent surface stains between professional treatments. Remember to use it as directed. - Regular dental check-ups:
See your dentist for regular cleanings. Getting professional cleanings can help remove plaque and tartar, which can lead to discolouration.
By following these tips, you can preserve the results of your whitening treatment and keep your smile looking its healthiest.
