At Portside Dental in Newport VIC, we often see patients who want to address uneven tooth colour. In this case, the patient came to us with noticeable yellowing across their natural teeth. This yellowing stood out against an existing, lighter-coloured dental restoration (like a crown or filling) on an upper front tooth, making the smile look uneven.
To address this, we provided an in-chair professional teeth whitening treatment using the Philips Zoom system. The Philips Zoom process uses a professional whitening gel combined with a special LED light. This light helps the gel work more efficiently to gently lift stains from the natural tooth enamel. As shown in the 'after' photograph, this in-clinic session reduced the yellowing, bringing the natural teeth to a shade that closely matches the central restoration.
It is important to remember that whitening treatments only lighten natural teeth; they do not change the colour of existing dental work. For this patient, brightening their natural teeth was a practical way to achieve a more uniform smile without needing to replace the existing, structurally sound dental work.
