Are your teeth looking a little more yellow than they used to? If yes, it can knock your confidence and may make you hesitate to smile. We get it. Here’s the good news: yellowing is incredibly common, and there are often simple, gentle ways to improve the brightness of your smile. For many people, there are comfortable, realistic options that can lift the look of discolouration and help you feel more confident when you smile.
Before you jump into whitening, it helps to pinpoint what’s behind the yellowing, because the right fix depends on the cause. Once we know whether it’s surface stains, buildup, or natural changes in enamel over time, it’s much easier to choose an approach that feels gentle, achievable, and actually delivers the result you’re hoping for.
Why Teeth Can Look Yellow
Common causes include natural enamel wear over time, staining from coffee, tea, and red wine, and from smoking, and plaque buildup in hard-to-reach spots. Some medications and past dental trauma can also affect tooth colour.
What Can Help Teeth Look Whiter?
A professional clean can remove surface staining and brighten your smile quickly. If you want a bigger change, dentist-supervised whitening may be suitable for some people. For deeper colour changes, options like bonding or veneers might be discussed, depending on your goals.
