If your stains have been caused by drinking staining drinks over the years, eating certain staining foods, or just because you are, well, using your teeth, then you’ll likely have no problem qualifying for teeth whitening. This is the type of discoloration whitening is for! Of course, this is something we will determine when we see you.
Now, let’s talk about the stains that are caused by medication side effects (like tetracycline). Or, the stains that develop in childhood due to fluorosis. These are stains within your teeth that we cannot treat with teeth whitening. Don’t lose heart, however: We can address this type of concern with either porcelain veneers or dental bonding. Speaking with us about the details will help you understand which will work best.
You might have very serious stains that are caused by the initially mentioned foods, drinks, or wear-and-tear. Or, they might just be quite stubborn. When such issues are a reality for you, we may again suggest veneers or bonding over whitening to ensure you receive the best results possible.
