There are many causes of tooth discolouration. Tooth discolouration can come from natural causes such as age or external factors like consuming red wine, colas, coffee, and other staining beverages. In addition, taking tetracycline antibiotics or exposure to too much fluoride during tooth development may cause teeth to become discoloured.

Many people are good candidates for tooth whitening, but it might not work as well for everyone. A comprehensive dental exam from our dentist can determine if you’re someone who would respond well to this procedure.

Losing a tooth is incredibly unpleasant but can also lead to severe problems if not addressed quickly. Unfortunately, the most common reasons for tooth removal are gum disease, dental decay, fracture, or injury. If you are in this situation, it’s essential that you replace the tooth as soon as possible to avoid future dental or cosmetic issues. Tooth loss causes the atrophy of the jawbone that initially supported the tooth and can also cause teeth on either side to shift into empty spaces. In addition, without an opposing tooth present, the tooth below or above may start to move towards the open spaces. These movements often result in problems such as excessively worn down teeth, gum disease, and decay. Over time, these structural movements and problems will appear and affect your ability to chew and the aesthetics of your smile. Dental implants, dentures, and bridges are some options for replacing missing teeth.
