Make an impression with a beautiful white smile

Your smile is the first thing that people notice about you. So why leave it stained, yellowed or discoloured? Studies have found that people with a brighter smile are more likely to be offered a job, given a promotion or even asked on a second date.

Refresh the look of your smile with our effective teeth whitening treatment

Tooth discolouration can be caused by a wide variety of factors, such as drinking tea, coffee, red wine, soft drinks, and smoking cigarettes. All these can leave your teeth with a stained or yellowed appearance. Other factors that lead to discoloured teeth are:

Disease
Age
Genetics
Trauma
Medications
Dental fillings

Not all discolouration is purely cosmetic, talk to one of the friendly team at Marriott & Hand to find out how we can help you.

Suitable candidates for teeth whitening

When you visit Marriott & Hand in Melbourne we will assess your oral health and determine what the best treatment is for your oral health. Before we commence treatment we will first need to ascertain the cause of your discolouration.

If the reason your teeth are discoloured is cosmetic, then we have a range of quality teeth whitening treatments to achieve a beautiful, healthy and natural-looking smile. These options include take-home kits as well as in-office options.

On the other hand if your teeth become discoloured from the inside (known as intrinsic stains), then the root of the problem will need to be addressed in order to treat the discolouration. Amalgam (metal) fillings can also cause your teeth to become discoloured, the best way to treat this cause of discolouration is to replace the filling with a white filling. White fillings are matched to the shade and colour of your natural teeth so that no one will notice you’ve got a filling.

Other ways to whiten your teeth include:

Dental veneers
Crowns
Inlays and onlays

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to conceal any imperfections as well as brighten up your smile. Crowns, while mostly used for restorative purposes, are occasionally requested for cosmetic reasons. Inlays and onlays, in terms of strength and appearance, are stronger than fillings but not as strong as dental crowns.
