Wondering about the causes of stained teeth?

Discoloration is common, stemming from various factors. Intrinsic stains result from internal factors within the body or tooth structure, while extrinsic stains are caused by external factors often tied to lifestyle. Common reasons for stained teeth include:

  • Poor dental care: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup and staining.
  • Certain foods and drinks: Items like red wine, coffee, berries, and sauces can worsen teeth stains.
  • Smoking: Tobacco use is a significant contributor to discolored teeth.
  • Aging: Daily wear weakens enamel over time, making teeth more prone to staining.
  • Disease: Conditions like diabetes and eating disorders can impact tooth strength and appearance.
  • Medications: Some common medications, such as antibiotics, can contribute to tooth discoloration.

Whether your stained teeth result from intrinsic or extrinsic factors (or a combination of both), we can collaborate with you to provide effective treatment for stain removal and a brighter smile.

Concerned about treatments for stained teeth? We offer:

  1. Take-home whitening trays: Our custom-made trays with whitening gel offer a convenient and affordable alternative for at-home teeth whitening. Take them home, and whiten your teeth at your own pace.
  2. Air polishing: Experience a cutting-edge solution for stain removal. Air polishing is a comfortable and effective treatment that uses a combination of air, water, and a specially-formulated powder to gently remove surface stains from your teeth.
  3. Veneers: Ideal for addressing multiple cosmetic concerns, porcelain veneers can enhance the appearance of stains, discoloration, and other imperfections. These thin shells are placed over your natural teeth, providing a white and flawless smile.

Interested in prevention? Here are some lifestyle changes to maintain a vibrant smile:

  • Practice proper dental hygiene: Brush, floss, and rinse with non-abrasive mouthwash daily.
  • Regular dentist visits: Schedule professional cleanings every 6 months.
  • Healthy diet: Consume foods and drinks that won’t cause staining. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
  • Protect enamel strength: Stay hydrated, limit ultra-acidic items, and avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
