What is the Cause of Yellow Teeth?
Yellow stains on tooth enamel often result from plaque buildup that has not been regularly or properly cleaned from the teeth, a condition known as extrinsic staining. Additionally, tooth enamel can naturally weaken with age, revealing the yellow dentin underneath. Consuming beverages like soft drinks, red wine, or coffee, as well as engaging in habits like smoking, can contribute to the development of yellowish discoloration on your teeth.
In some cases, stained teeth may be due to factors beyond your control, such as tooth trauma from a young age, referred to as intrinsic staining. This can include issues like internal tooth bleeding or previous root canal treatments.
At Mount Barker Dentists, identifying the cause of your yellow teeth is essential for recommending the right teeth whitening options to help you achieve a brighter smile.
Teeth Whitening Treatments
-
Our Oral Health Therapists at Mount Barker Dentists can effectively reduce plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to tooth discolouration. The removal of plaque and tartar not only improves oral health but also results in a smoother tooth surface, enhancing the appearance of whiter teeth.
-
ZOOM! whitening is a teeth-whitening procedure that utilises a light-activated process to lighten discoloured tooth enamel. This technique is straightforward and non-invasive, typically requiring 45 to 60 minutes to complete. It is an efficient method for achieving a brighter smile with minimal hassle.
-
Internal tooth whitening is a painless procedure, making it a good option if you have a stained or discoloured tooth as a result of a previous root canal treatment. This approach can effectively improve the appearance of the affected tooth without causing discomfort or pain.
-
When intrinsic stains are the primary concern and no other dental issues are present, a lighter tooth-coloured material can be applied and bonded to the front of the affected tooth.

When addressing discolouration is just one aspect of your dental needs and you require a solution that combines both aesthetics and overall dental health, crowns are an excellent choice. Both veneers and crowns offer exceptional durability and a natural appearance that closely resembles real teeth. They also offer the added advantage of precise colour matching to achieve your desired shade.
