Stain Removal
Stain removal gently lifts surface stains from the teeth, helping your smile appear cleaner, brighter, and more refreshed. This treatment is comfortable and effective, and may be included as part of your regular hygiene visit when appropriate.
How Stains Develop
Everyday life naturally affects the color of our teeth. Foods, drinks, and habits can gradually darken or dull the enamel over time. Coffee, tea, wine, berries, and tobacco are the most common contributors, but even healthy diets can cause subtle staining. Stain removal helps restore your smile to a cleaner, more natural brightness.
What Stain Removal Does
Stain removal focuses specifically on the surface layer of the teeth. It does not change the natural shade of the enamel — instead, it removes buildup and discoloration that sits on top of it. This creates a smoother tooth surface and a visibly refreshed appearance.
What to Expect During the Appointment
Your appointment may include:
- A gentle assessment to identify where stains are present
- Polishing with professional-grade tools designed to lift and smooth
- Removal of surface stains caused by foods, drinks, and lifestyle habits
- Guidance to help maintain brightness between visits
The process is gentle and does not involve bleaching or whitening agents.
Stain Removal vs Whitening
Stain removal removes discoloration from the tooth’s surface, while whitening lightens the internal shade of the enamel.
