Coffee, Tea and Tooth Discolouration
Identifying the source of discolouration determines which treatment will work.
How surface staining forms
Pigments from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco settle in the microscopic porosity of the enamel. Professional cleaning and polishing make a clear difference, and a well-polished surface also resists new staining.
Habits that reduce staining
- Rinsing with water after coffee or tea
- Finishing a drink rather than sipping it for hours
- Stopping smoking, the strongest source of staining
- Not brushing straight after an acidic drink
- Regular professional cleaning and polishing
- Floss, since interproximal staining resists brushing
Yellowing is not always staining
Thinned enamel lets the dentine show through — tissue loss rather than staining, where whitening does not help and may increase sensitivity. A single darkened tooth usually signals nerve death after past trauma and needs radiographic assessment.
Getting Here, Booking and Emergencies from Sirinyali
Route, booking and emergency arrangements for patients from Sirinyali.
Getting here from Sirinyali
Şirinyalı lies in the Muratpaşa district of Antalya; Muratpaşa is one of the central districts, about 2 kilometres from the clinic.

Emergencies from Sirinyali
Setting out from Şirinyalı at night is quick; come without delay in an emergency, and calling as you leave means preparation is done in advance. For patients coming from Dental Clinic in Sirinyali, the clinic is open 24/7 and in an emergency the order is set by severity rather than arrival time. For spreading facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or toothache with fever, go to the nearest emergency department.
Jaw Discrepancies and Orthognathic Surgery
Some bite problems arise not from the teeth but from the position of the jaws relative to one another. Aligning the teeth then improves appearance without solving the underlying problem.
Dental or skeletal?
The distinction determines the whole treatment. In a dental discrepancy the jaws are in normal position and the teeth are tipped; orthodontics alone resolves it. In a skeletal discrepancy the upper or lower jaw sits too far forward, too far back, too narrow or asymmetrically. Orthodontics can align the teeth but cannot move the jaw; the result is only partly corrected and often does not hold.
When surgery comes into question
These findings suggest a skeletal picture:
- The jaw markedly forward or set back
- Visible facial asymmetry
- Lips that do not meet and a habitually open mouth
- Front teeth that never make contact
- Functional difficulty with chewing and speech
How the process runs
Treatment is a joint effort between orthodontics and surgery. The teeth are first prepared for the post-surgical bite — during which the appearance can temporarily worsen, which is expected. The jaw surgery follows. Fine-tuning orthodontics and retention come afterwards. The total is usually 18 months to 2 years, and it is not carried out before jaw growth is complete.
