Stain Removal

Brighten your smile by removing stubborn surface and internal stains—gently and effectively.

Daily habits like drinking tea, coffee, or red wine, or smoking, can leave visible stains that brushing alone can’t remove. We offer two advanced treatment options— Icon by DMG Dental and AirFlow Stain Removal—to restore the natural brightness of your teeth, without the need for bleaching or drilling.

Icon by DMG Dental

The invisible solution for white spots and early-stage discolouration—no drilling, no pain.

If you’ve noticed white spots or areas of patchy colour on your teeth (often caused by braces, fluorosis, or early decay), Icon is a revolutionary micro-invasive treatment that restores a uniform colour and smooth appearance to your enamel—without removing any healthy tooth structure.

Icon by DMG Dental is ideal if you're looking for an instant smile refresh—perfect before a big event or as part of regular hygiene maintenance.

Benefits:

• No drilling, no injections, no enamel removal
• Eliminates white spots and patchy staining
• Perfect for post-braces discoloration or early enamel wear
• Painless with immediate cosmetic improvement
• Long-lasting results with just one appointment

Icon is perfect for patients who want cosmetic improvement without compromising the integrity of their natural teeth.

AirFlow Stain Removal

A powerful deep clean that leaves your teeth visibly brighter and smoother—instantly.

AirFlow uses a combination of warm water, compressed air, and a specially formulated fine powder to gently blast away surface stains, plaque, and biofilm. It reaches places that traditional cleaning often can’t, making it the perfect finishing touch for a fresh, polished look.

Benefits:

• Completely pain-free and non-invasive
• No scraping, scratching, or harsh chemicals
• Removes stains from tea, coffee, red wine, and tobacco
• Safe for enamel and great for sensitive teeth

Who Is Stain Removal Suitable For?

Stain removal is ideal if your teeth look duller or patchier than you'd like, but you're not necessarily looking to change their natural shade — just remove built-up surface staining and restore a fresher, more even appearance. It's a popular choice for patients who drink a lot of tea, coffee or red wine, for smokers, and for anyone who wants their teeth to look their best before a big event without committing to a full whitening course.

What to Expect During Treatment

Both Icon and AirFlow are carried out chairside in a single appointment with no injections or numbing required. AirFlow feels similar to a routine hygiene clean, just more thorough, while Icon involves a gentle gel application to the affected areas of enamel with no drilling at all. Most patients find both treatments comfortable, and you can eat and drink normally straight afterwards.

Maintaining Your Results

Results are visible immediately and last well with normal brushing and flossing. Since these treatments address existing staining rather than preventing new staining forming, keeping up your regular hygiene visits and being mindful of staining foods and drinks will help your results last as long as possible.
