Got a dental problem, but not what the right solution for your unique situation is?
If you are unhappy with the overall colour of your teeth, you have a couple of options.
The most popular option is what’s commonly referred to as teeth whitening. This is a bleaching process that alters the shade of your tooth by 8 to 10 shades. For cosmetic issues, this can be a great solution.
The procedure only takes an hour and the results are seen as soon as treatment is complete. And results can last 9 to 12 months. Longer if you take care of your oral health. Longer still if you get take-home teeth whitening top up kits.
Another option is dental veneers. This treatment involves placing thin shells of porcelain bonded to your teeth. An added advantage veneers have over teeth bleaching is that they can change the shape and size of the teeth.
Which is ideal if you’ve got minor chips or cracks that you would like covered up.
Sometimes a combination of teeth bleaching and dental veneers is the best way to achieve a whiter smile.
The reason for this is simple. Dental veneers are colour matched to your smile to blend in seamlessly. If your teeth are yellow or even a little discoloured, it is often recommended to have a tooth whitening treatment first.
This is beneficial because it means your veneers will be colour matched to your new healthy-looking whiter smile. And since bleaching doesn’t affect dental veneers, it means that later when you get a top up tooth whitening treatment, you’ll have a consistent, healthy-looking white smile.

If you are unhappy with the look of your teeth, you have a number of options; including dental veneers, teeth whitening and dental crowns.
If you have two or more issues, see how we can help by answering just a few simple questions!
Even with good brushing, teeth can still look yellow due to natural enamel thinning, ageing, genetics, or staining from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and certain foods. As enamel wears down, the yellow dentine underneath becomes more visible.
Yes, in most cases yellow teeth can be safely whitened with professional teeth whitening. A dentist will check that your teeth and gums are healthy first and recommend the right whitening option, as not all discolouration responds in the same way.
Teeth whitening works best on yellow or light brown staining caused by food, drink, or ageing. Grey or internal staining (from trauma or medication) may need alternative treatments such as bonding or veneers, which your dentist can advise on.
We look forward to welcoming you to Beenleigh Marketplace Dental.
