Tooth staining affects most people to some degree — caused by coffee, tea, red wine, food pigments, tobacco and the natural ageing of enamel. At Envy Smile near Paddington, tooth staining is treated with a two-step approach: professional hygiene to remove surface staining, followed by professional teeth whitening to address deeper discolouration that polishing alone cannot resolve.
Tooth Staining Treatment at Envy Smile
"I went there for my dental emergency and the lovely lady at reception kindly let me in for a check-up. They did a quick X-ray followed by cleaning which actually worked. The doctor was understanding and explained the cause and advised me correctly. Definitely recommended."Patient Review ★★★★★
Tooth staining comes in two distinct types. Extrinsic staining is surface discolouration from food, drink (coffee, tea, red wine), tobacco and chromogenic bacteria — it sits on or within the enamel surface and responds well to professional polishing and hygiene treatment. Intrinsic staining is discolouration within the tooth structure itself, caused by ageing, tetracycline antibiotics, fluorosis or trauma — it requires professional whitening to address.
At Envy Smile near Paddington, the most effective approach depends on the type and extent of staining. A professional scale and polish (from £85) with AirFlow (£120) is the most effective way to remove surface staining. For deeper or intrinsic discolouration, professional teeth whitening is recommended — home whitening trays (£295) or in-surgery BlancOne laser whitening (£299, results lasting up to 3 years).

Visibly brighter teeth after a single appointment. Professional AirFlow removes surface staining that years of brushing cannot shift — revealing the natural brightness of your teeth beneath.
Professional whitening goes further than hygiene alone. Where staining is intrinsic or deeply embedded in the enamel, professional whitening (from £295) achieves multiple shades of improvement that no hygiene treatment can match.
Longer-lasting results than whitening strips. Professional whitening uses clinically approved concentrations not available over the counter — providing significantly better results that last considerably longer.
