Stained Teeth in Canary Wharf
Our teeth become stained and discoloured for a number of reasons including our age, oral hygiene, food and drink choices and external causes such as medication. You can get both surface level stains and those that occur below the enamel. If you suffer with stained teeth and want to whiten your teeth, then Mouth Dental’s Canary Wharf clinic is the best choice for you to receive professional teeth whitening treatments. We are a recognised name in the professional dental healthcare industry as we provide our patients with the latest and best treatment options backed by a renowned team of dental experts.
Stained teeth treatment at Mouth Dental
There are three main categories of tooth discolouration identified by dental professionals:
- Extrinsic teeth stains – This is a staining on the surface of the tooth and is a result of pigmented residue from food and drinks such as red wine, tea and coffee. This staining causes the enamel to be discoloured from external effects such as tobacco. This type of staining can be treated with regular professional dental cleanings and good oral hygiene habits such as daily brushing with whitening toothpaste.
- Intrinsic teeth stains – This is the staining that occurs below the surface or tooth enamel. When stain-causing particles seep through the enamel and discolour from within, it can be slightly trickier to remove. This is where you will need professional teeth whitening treatments or recommended home whitening kits to whiten the teeth.
- Age-related teeth stains – This can be a result of both intrinsic and extrinsic tooth discolouring. With age, the core tissue of our teeth, the dentin, naturally yellows which is why the older we get, the less white our teeth look. Our tooth enamel becomes thinner as well allowing for easier staining and for the dentin to show through.

Frequently asked questions
What causes your teeth to stain?
There are a number of contributing elements from foods and drinks such as red wine and colas to the use of tobacco, certain medications, disease, genetics, ageing, dental materials and poor dental hygiene. Trauma such as injury can cause teeth to discolour.
How does poor oral hygiene stain teeth?
When you neglect your oral hygiene, it allows plaque and tartar to accumulate. These sticky substances not only make the teeth look yellow, but they also cause tooth decay, gum disease and cavities among other oral health issues. The build-up also damages your tooth enamel which allows coloured pigments to seep through.
What types of food and drinks stain teeth?
Balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, curries, tomato-based sauces, red wine, tea and coffee, colas, fruit juices are a few of the more common foods and beverages that stain teeth. Vibrant fruits such as blackberries, cherries, blueberries and pomegranates too stain teeth. Acidic foods and drinks too have an impact on the colour of your teeth, as do too many sweets.
What are the other reasons, besides diet, that cause stained teeth?
Genetics can play a role in the natural colour of your teeth. Medical conditions such as calcium deficiency, liver disease, celiac disease, and metabolic disease too can have an impact on your tooth enamel, causing it to discolour. Strong acidic mouth rinses, washes and certain medications can stain teeth.
How often should you visit a dental hygienist?
Ideally, you should visit a dental hygienist every six months to maintain good dental and oral health. There will be times when you may have to increase the number and frequency of your visits, such as if you are undergoing treatment. Disease or lack of care for your teeth may also mean that you will have to make more regular visits to regain good dental health.
Are there treatment options available to restore stained teeth?
You can get a recommended home kit or teeth whitening gel while hydrogen peroxide is an affordable and safe way to achieve brighter teeth as it is a natural bleaching agent. Professionally you can opt for laser treatment which has proven and longer-lasting results. For extreme discolourations composite bonding may be recommended.
How long do results from teeth whitening last?
The results of teeth whitening last depending on where you get the treatment done and which treatment type you opted for. Home whitening kits may have a shorter result life when compared to professionally done treatments.
How do you take care of your teeth after a teeth whitening procedure?
Particularly 48 hours after getting a whitening procedure done you must be careful of what your consume and avoid smoking if that is a habit for you. Avoid acidic foods and drinks as well as your teeth may feel quite sensitive after the treatment. Brush your teeth as recommended and drink plenty of water to wash away food particles and possible colour pigments.
Are teeth whitening treatments safe?
If done by a professional then yes, whitening treatments are very safe. If you opt for home whitening, then do your research and choose highly recommended options or seek expert advice on the best over-the-counter option for you. Always follow the provided guidelines and instructions properly.
How much does stained teeth treatment cost?
The cost of teeth whitening will depend on the treatment you opt for and how many treatments you will need to achieve the desired hue. Laser whitening can cost between £500 – £1,000, LED whitening between £400 and £850. Take-home bleaching trays cost around £200 – £400. For hydrogen peroxide treatments in office will cost around £350 – £1,000 while a prescribed take home dental kit will cost roughly around £200 – £400.
