Why are my teeth stained?

You brush and floss your teeth daily, so why are your teeth yellow or brown? While poor oral hygiene can cause tooth staining, in most cases, this cosmetic flaw has nothing to do with how you clean your teeth.

Here are the many causes of teeth staining.

  • Coffee, cola, red wine, and other staining foods
  • Smoking
  • Excessive fluoride exposure (fluorosis)
  • Certain medications, including tetracycline
  • Aging
  • Dental trauma

While our professional teeth whitening can eliminate several stains, we understand it has limitations. Teeth whitening can do little for the deep intrinsic discoloration caused by trauma or infection. In such cases, the dentist covers your teeth with veneers or dental crowns. Your cosmetic treatment is personalized to ensure we recommend the appropriate treatment for your unique needs.

Ready for our instant in-office Zoom teeth whitening?

Many patients love our Zoom in-office teeth whitening because of its speed. This innovative teeth whitening system brightens your smile up to eight shades and only takes 60 minutes. Your treatment starts with a consultation to examine your suitability for teeth whitening. If you have tooth decay, gum disease, or extreme sensitivity, these issues must be resolved before teeth whitening.

The dentist begins treatment with professional dental cleaning to eliminate plaque and other unhealthy buildup. Next, we’ll apply whitening gel to the visible tooth surfaces. A specialized light activates the hydrogen-based gel, which remains on the teeth for about 15 minutes to work its magic. Next, your teeth are rinsed, and the gel is reapplied as needed. Patients undergo 3-4 applications per session to achieve optimal results.

How do I maintain my teeth after teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening isn’t permanent, but the results can last many years with proper maintenance. Here are ways to ensure your whitening results last many years.

  • Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste at least twice daily
  • Floss your teeth daily to remove food debris and plaque between teeth
  • Adhere to regular dental cleanings to clean hard-to-reach areas of the mouth
  • Limit the intake of coffee, red wine, and other staining substances
  • Quit tobacco use 
  • Refresh your results every six months with take-home whitening trays
