Stained or yellowing teeth can affect anyone’s confidence. At VS Dental in Thudiyalur, we offer professional teeth whitening in Coimbatore to restore your smile’s brightness safely and effectively.
Ideal for weddings, special events, or everyday confidence, our whitening treatments are fast, enamel-safe, and noticeably effective after just one session.
Your smile is often one of the first things people notice about you. Unfortunately, over time, teeth can lose their natural whiteness and begin to look dull or discolored. This discoloration is a common concern and can happen for a variety of reasons. At VS Dental, we believe that understanding the causes of tooth staining is the first step toward choosing the right whitening treatment for you.
There are two main categories of tooth discoloration: extrinsic (surface stains) and intrinsic (deep, internal stains).
1. Coffee, Tea, and Red Wine
These popular beverages are rich in pigments and tannins that cling to tooth enamel. Over time, frequent consumption leads to a gradual buildup of stains that can make your teeth look yellow or brown.
2. Tobacco Use
Smoking or chewing tobacco exposes your teeth to tar and nicotine, both of which can cause stubborn, dark stains that are difficult to remove with brushing alone.
3. Aging
As we age, the enamel on our teeth naturally becomes thinner, allowing more of the yellowish dentin beneath to show through. Small cracks in the enamel can also trap stains more easily.
4. Poor Oral Hygiene
Irregular brushing and flossing allow plaque and tartar to accumulate, creating a rough surface that traps stains and bacteria.
5. Certain Medications
Some antibiotics (like tetracycline) and other medications can discolor teeth, especially if taken during childhood while teeth are still developing.
While over-the-counter whitening products may help remove some surface stains, they often fall short when it comes to deeper discoloration. That’s why we use professional, dental-grade whitening systems designed to safely penetrate and lift stains from within the tooth, delivering lasting results.
At VS Dental, we offer two main whitening approaches, each designed for specific types of stains and patient needs.
1. Vital Tooth Whitening (Microabrasion)
Microabrasion is a safe, effective, and quick procedure that can deliver visible results in less than an hour. It works best for stains on teeth that are still “vital,” meaning they have a healthy, living nerve.
Best suited for:
Superficial stains from food, drinks, or plaque
Mild dental fluorosis (light white or brown spots caused by excess fluoride exposure during tooth development)
White spot lesions (localized areas of enamel demineralization)
This technique gently removes a thin layer of discolored enamel, revealing a brighter surface underneath without harming the tooth’s structure.
2. Non-Vital Tooth Whitening (Bleaching Agent)
Non-vital bleaching is used for teeth that have had root canal treatment or have lost their vitality due to trauma or decay. These teeth often darken from the inside out, making external whitening alone ineffective.
Best suited for:
Discoloration caused by pulp necrosis (death of the tooth nerve)
Trauma-induced discoloration (e.g., after an injury to the tooth)
Internal resorption (breakdown of internal tooth structure)
This method is minimally invasive, cost-effective compared to crowns and veneers, and highly effective at restoring a tooth’s natural color.
How Safe Is Professional Whitening?
Many patients worry about whether whitening treatments might damage their teeth. At VS Dental, we use enamel-safe, fully approved whitening systems that are tailored to your individual needs and sensitivity level.
Before starting any whitening procedure, we perform a short but thorough evaluation of your teeth and gums. This allows us to recommend the safest and most effective method for your unique dental history, stain type, and cosmetic goals.
Our team also provides guidance on aftercare to help you maintain your results for as long as possible.
