Call nowWhy it happens
Enamel is very slightly porous, so the colour in coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco settles into it a little at a time — too slowly to notice, until one day the mirror does.
Age plays a part too: enamel thins over the years, letting more of the naturally yellower layer underneath show through. That’s why teeth dull even with good brushing — and why the cause matters before any whitening starts.
How we fix it
First we check that your teeth and gums are healthy enough to whiten safely — whitening over decay or inflamed gums is asking for sensitivity — and we tell you plainly what shade change is realistic for your teeth. No glossy promises.
The method and timetable depend on your assessment. Options may include treatment in the chair or dentist-supervised trays at home. A clean may help with surface stains. A single dark tooth needs its own assessment, because the cause and suitable treatment can differ.
Keeping it fixed
Whitening lifts the stain — these habits keep it lifted:
- Follow the aftercare instructions for your whitening treatment and ask about drinks or habits that may stain your teeth.
- Rinse with water after a staining drink. It goes a surprisingly long way.
- Keep brushing and cleaning between teeth, and attend the review visits your dentist recommends.
What it costs

Questions patients ask
How much does teeth whitening cost in Randburg?
We give you the full price upfront, before you decide anything — most medical aids treat whitening as cosmetic, so we never leave the number vague. First we check your teeth and gums are healthy enough to whiten safely, then you get the exact quote.
Is teeth whitening safe?
A dental assessment helps determine whether whitening is suitable. Temporary sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. Your dentist explains the options, risks and realistic shade change; whitening does not change the colour of crowns or fillings.
How long does teeth whitening take?
The timetable depends on the method and your teeth. In-chair treatment and home trays follow different plans. After assessing you, the dentist explains the appointments, home instructions and when to review the result.
Why are my teeth yellow even though I brush every day?
Enamel is very slightly porous, so the colour in coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco settles into it a little at a time. Enamel also thins with age, letting the naturally yellower layer underneath show through — teeth dull even with good brushing.
Will whitening fix one dark tooth?
It depends on the cause. A single dark tooth may need a different approach from general whitening, so we assess it before recommending treatment and explain what improvement is realistic.
How do I keep my teeth white after whitening?
Follow the aftercare advice for your treatment, keep brushing and cleaning between teeth, and discuss staining drinks or smoking with your dentist. Results vary and may need maintenance.
