Get Whiter, Brighter Teeth With Duncan Dental

There is something special about a really confident smile and knowing when you flash your pearly whites that they are, well - white - can give you a boost that may surprise you with its power! At Duncan Dental, we are all about getting you the smile of your dreams, and for some of our customers, that means addressing discolouration and staining; read on to discover some ways our expert Tauranga dentists can help you discover your best smile.

Why Are My Teeth So Dirty?

First up, it’s not necessarily true that a less-than-white smile has anything to do with your dental hygiene practices. There are all sorts of ways our teeth can become discoloured or stained, and some people who have impeccable dental habits still need to address discolouration. While it’s certainly likely that drinking lots of tea and coffee, smoking, and eating foods with a strong colour profile could result in a less than stellar-looking set of teeth, there are also internal causes - and genetics can play a role. If you make an appointment with Duncan Dental, we can figure out what is causing your teeth to appear discoloured.

Will Teeth Whitening Work for Me?

As there are different reasons for discolouration on your teeth, it first pays to discover whether a trip to the dental hygienist at our Tauranga surgery produces results. It may be that you then discover even a professional clean will not shift discolouration, so then the dentist would likely recommend a Teeth Whitening Treatment. For external issues such as staining caused by food, the dentist will use a hydrogen peroxide solution that will make your teeth appear whiter. This is also the treatment that Duncan Dental would prescribe if your teeth appear yellow due to enamel loss which has exposed your dentine - as dentine is naturally yellow,

Internal Bleaching

If the issue is internal, such as a dead nerve ending, the dentist would perform an internal bleaching treatment; this involves a whitening agent being inserted into the tooth. This stays in your teeth for a few weeks and may take a few goes to get the results you want. There is usually a solution for most dental issues that you are dealing with, and Duncan Dental in Tauranga has all sorts of great specialist treatments available, including a bleaching service we can perform to ensure that your veneer or crown matches the tooth it is attached to.

Don’t suffer a closed-mouth smile; let’s get you proudly flashing those gnashers. Duncan Dental has all sorts of treatments available - just ask.
