Brightening Stained and Discoloured Teeth in Toronto
Teeth rarely stay as bright as they were in our twenties, and stubborn staining can make a smile look older and more tired than you feel. The good news is that discolouration is one of the most fixable things about a smile. See the before-and-afters below.
Before & After Smile Gallery
Over the years, our dentists have placed more than 5,000 porcelain veneers and behind that number is an idea we’ve never strayed from: every smile is built for one person and no one else. The before-and-after photos throughout our site are all real patients we’ve treated, never stock images, so there’s a good chance you’ll find a case that looks a lot like your own.
Why Toronto Smile Gallery
We design for a bright smile that still looks natural — never the harsh, artificial white that gives whitening a bad name. Every case in our gallery is a real patient treated in our Yorkville practice.
What Causes Tooth Staining?
Some staining sits on the surface, from everyday culprits like coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. Other discolouration comes from within; the natural darkening that comes with age, a tooth injured years ago, or staining from certain medications such as tetracycline. Knowing which kind you have tells us how to treat it.
How We Brighten Stained Teeth in Toronto
Professional Teeth Whitening
For surface staining, whitening lifts years of discolouration safely and evenly, far beyond what drugstore kits can manage.
Porcelain Veneers
For deep, internal stains that don’t respond to whitening, veneers cover them completely for a bright, lasting result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will whitening fix my stains?
It depends on the stain. Surface staining from food, drink and tobacco usually responds beautifully to professional whitening. Deeper, internal discolouration sometimes doesn’t. In which case veneers are the more reliable route.
What if whitening doesn't work on my teeth?
If your staining is internal and won’t bleach away, porcelain veneers cover it completely, giving you a bright, even smile that lasts.
Should I choose whitening or veneers?
Whitening is the simplest, most affordable option for surface stains; veneers are the answer for deep stains or when you’d also like to change shape and form. We’ll guide you to the right one.
