Understanding Teeth Discolouration
We’re putting your comfort first
No one likes yellow teeth, but unfortunately, some degree of discolouration happens to most of us over time. A lot of it has to do with what we eat and drink. Coffee, tea, red wine, and even foods like berries or tomato sauce can leave stains on your teeth. Plus, as we get older, the enamel—the outer layer of our teeth—starts to wear down, making the yellowish dentin underneath more noticeable. Some patients also experience yellow teeth after braces or Invisalign treatment.
Smoking is another big culprit when it comes to teeth discolouration. The nicotine and tar in cigarettes can turn your teeth yellow or even brown over time. And certain medications, like some antibiotics, can also cause discoloration as a side effect. Even if you brush and floss regularly, these things can still impact the colour of your teeth.
But just because discolouration is common doesn’t mean you have to settle for it. There are plenty of ways to keep your smile looking bright, including professional in-chair or at-home teeth whitening.

In-Chair Teeth Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening
You’ve got a couple of options if you’re looking to get your teeth a few shades brighter: in-chair teeth whitening at the dentist’s office or at-home whitening kits. Both can give you a whiter smile, but they work in different ways and have their own pros and cons.
In-Chair Teeth Whitening
In-chair whitening, also known as professional or in-office whitening, is done at the dentist’s practice. It’s the quickest way to get noticeable results—often in just one visit. At ieDental, we use a safe, stronger whitening agent than what’s available in over-the-counter kits, coupled with a special light to speed up the process. Because it’s done under professional supervision, in-chair whitening is safe, effective, and perfect if you’re looking for a noticeable change in a short amount of time.
At-Home Whitening
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, professional at-home whitening kits are a great option. These kits include custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth, so you have a perfect fit and can apply the whitening gel evenly every time. The gel used in professional kits is stronger than what you’ll find in over-the-counter products, giving you professional-level results.

Maintaining Your Teeth Whitening Results
Regular brushing and flossing are a must to keep your pearly whites looking bright and shiny for longer, and you may also want to consider using a whitening toothpaste to help maintain that sparkle. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain, like coffee, tea, and red wine, can also go a long way in keeping your smile bright.
Just keep in mind that neither porcelain veneers nor dental crowns can be whitened, so it’s a good idea to match your whitening treatments to your natural teeth before getting these restorations. This way, your entire smile stays consistent and bright.
