What Causes Tooth Discolouration in Hamilton Patients?
- Coffee, tea, red wine — most common; tannins stain enamel surface
- Tobacco — severe deep staining from tar and nicotine
- Age — enamel thins, exposing yellower dentin underneath
- Tetracycline (antibiotic) — taken during tooth development; intrinsic grey/brown bands
- Excessive fluoride (fluorosis) — white or brown spots
- Trauma — dead tooth turns grey/brown
Is Teeth Whitening Safe at Red Rose Dentistry Hamilton?
Yes — professional whitening with custom-fitted trays and supervised carbamide/hydrogen peroxide gel is safe for enamel and gums when used as directed. Common side effects: temporary tooth sensitivity (resolves in 1–3 days) and mild gum irritation if gel contacts soft tissue (avoided with custom trays).
Who should avoid whitening: pregnant patients, patients with untreated cavities or gum disease (must be treated first), patients with crowns/veneers on front teeth (whitening doesn’t change restoration colour).
Whitening Before ClearCorrect or Veneers — Hamilton 2026
If you’re considering ClearCorrect aligners or porcelain veneers, whiten your teeth first. Once your shade is set, any new restorations are matched to your whitened colour for a seamless result. Red Rose Dentistry coordinates timing across all cosmetic treatments.

Q: Does CDCP cover teeth whitening in Hamilton Ontario?
No — teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by CDCP. Some private dental plans cover a portion (check your plan). Cost at Red Rose: $400–$600 for custom trays.
