Why Do Teeth Lose Their Whiteness?

Over time, it’s natural for teeth to become discoloured. Common causes include:

  • Ageing – enamel wears down, exposing the dentin underneath
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Drinks like red wine, coffee, tea, and cola
  • Certain medications
  • Poor oral hygiene

No matter the reason, our professional whitening treatments can restore brightness to your smile.

Who Is Teeth Whitening Suitable For?

Who Is Suitable for Teeth Whitening explained by Thousand Smiles Dental Clinic

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are aged 18 or older
  • Have healthy gums and natural teeth
  • Want to remove staining or lighten the overall shade of your teeth

Whitening is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s also important to note that dental restorations (veneers, crowns, bridges, dentures, and fillings) will not change colour. If your teeth are heavily restored, other cosmetic options such as veneers or composite bonding may be more suitable.

At Thousand Smile, every patient starts with a consultation to confirm suitability and discuss the best whitening option for their needs.

Our Teeth Whitening Options

We offer both in-practice whitening for immediate results and at-home whitening for convenience.

In-Practice Whitening
  • Carried out by a qualified dentist
  • Can lighten teeth by up to six shades in just one hour
  • Uses a professional-strength gel activated by a special blue light
  • Perfect if you want fast results before an important event
At-Home Whitening
  • Includes custom-made trays and whitening gel
  • Typically worn overnight for a few weeks
  • Gradually whitens teeth at your own pace
  • Can be used as a top-up after in-practice treatment
Internal Whitening (for root-treated teeth)

If a tooth has darkened following root canal treatment, our dentist may recommend internal bleaching. Whitening gel is placed inside the tooth and sealed with a temporary filling. The process is repeated over a couple of visits until the tooth lightens, after which it is permanently restored with a tooth-coloured filling.

Aftercare and Maintenance for Teeth Whitening

Aftercare and Maintenance

To keep your smile whiter for longer, we recommend:

  • Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Flossing daily to remove plaque and debris
  • Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and dark foods that stain
  • Avoiding or reducing smoking
  • Scheduling regular hygienist visits for professional cleaning
  • Using whitening top-up kits if needed

With the right care, results can last 18–24 months.
