What Causes Teeth Discolouration?
Teeth are naturally porous, which means stains can absorb into the enamel over time. Common causes include:
- Coffee, tea and red wine
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Certain medications
- Natural ageing
- Poor oral hygiene
While regular brushing helps maintain oral health, it does not significantly change tooth shade once staining develops.

How much does teeth whitening cost in Balmain?
The cost of teeth whitening in Balmain depends on whether you choose in-chair treatment or a customised take-home kit. In-chair whitening is typically higher in cost due to the clinical time and materials involved, while take-home kits are often more gradual and cost-effective.
At Balmain Dentist, we provide a personalised treatment plan and a clear cost estimate after assessing your oral health and suitability.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening results can last from several months up to two years, depending on factors such as diet, smoking habits, oral hygiene and regular dental care.
Patients who limit staining foods and beverages and maintain routine check-ups often experience longer-lasting results. Periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve brightness.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening is generally considered safe when performed or prescribed by a dentist. Before treatment, we assess your teeth and gums to ensure there is no untreated decay or gum disease that could increase sensitivity.
Temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
How many shades whiter can my teeth become?
The level of whitening achieved varies depending on the original shade of your teeth, the type of staining present, and the treatment method used.
Some patients experience noticeable lightening, while others may achieve more subtle improvement. During your consultation, we discuss realistic expectations based on your starting shade and goals.
