Does teeth cleaning remove yellow?

Yes, professional teeth cleaning can help reduce yellowing caused by surface stains. Techniques like prophy jet sand blasting combined with traditional scaling and polishing remove plaque, tartar, and discolorations from foods and beverages such as coffee and wine, leading to a brighter smile. However, if the yellowing is due to intrinsic factors like genetics, aging, or long-term medication use, additional cosmetic treatments—such as teeth whitening, veneers, or bonding—might be necessary to achieve a truly radiant smile.
