Hi, Dr. Anand here from Warragul Dental Care.
If you’ve already had a go at professional whitening and your teeth still aren’t as bright as you’d hoped, you might be asking yourself, “what now?” Let’s break it down.
First off, it’s important to know the difference between surface stains and your natural tooth shade. If your teeth have picked up marks from your favourite coffee, tea, a glass of wine, or even smoking, those are surface stains. A good professional clean with our oral health team can often polish those right off – much like giving your car a good wash on a sunny arvo.
But if your teeth naturally have a darker yellow or grey tone, that isn’t just a stain – it’s your tooth’s inherent colour. While whitening can boost the brightness, sometimes it won’t deliver the level of white you’re after. Think of it like trying to change the colour of a grey car; a simple wash won’t do the trick – you’d need a full repaint.
Your smile is unique, and so is the best solution for you. If professional whitening hasn’t given you the results you want, let’s chat about the other options available to create that bright, confident smile.Simply give us a call on 03 8899 6937 or send us a DM to book a consultation and find the best solution for your smile!
