Due to the fact that there are different types of discoloration, it is important to use the correct teeth whitening treatment. While the label of a teeth whitening kit may tell you which type of discoloration the product is suitable for, it cannot tell you the cause of your discoloration. Some teeth whitening treatments can also do more damage to your teeth than good. Yout dentist can provide you with teeth whitening treatments that will work for you. Whether that means coming into the office for treatment or guidance on using a kit at home, we are here to support you throughout your treatment.
No, teeth whitening does not work on dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or veneers. You may not be the best candidate for whitening treatment if you have extensive dental work. However, our dentists will work with you to find a solution to improve the look and quality of your smile.
For other patients, the discoloration is intrinsic or inside the core of the teeth. Overexposure to fluoride or traumas to the teeth are the most common causes of intrinsic discoloration. Some people, however, have discoloration caused by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Where both types of discoloration exist, it is usually a result of prolonged damage to the teeth. It is normally observed in older patients. In these cases, we may not be able to remove these stains.
Discolored teeth are one of the most common issues for patients at Chester Road Family Dental. No matter how well you brush or floss, you may still end up with discolored teeth. For some patients, discoloration is from habits such as drinking tea, coffee or smoking. These habits cause what is known as extrinsic discoloration, which means the discoloration is on the surface of the teeth.
