Just like people are born with different colors of skin and hair, we also are predisposed to different tooth colors. Combine our genetic tendencies with foods and habits that discolor our teeth like coffee, tea, berries, or tobacco, our teeth can continue to darken as we age.

Teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most economical ways to makeover your smile and gets a fresh new look that can often take years off of your overall appearance.

While professional teeth whitening is the best way to whiten teeth, it does have limitations. Unfortunately, there are some stains that cannot be removed with any type of whitening product. This includes internal tooth stains that happen for various reasons and affects the color of the tooth.
If this is the type of stain you have, we recommend whitening your teeth with other cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, or crowns. Most external tooth stains can be removed or improved with professional teeth whitening.
Professional teeth whitening is very safe to use for most patients especially when it is administered by a dentist. The only notable side effect is tooth sensitivity. There are no reports of professional teeth whitening causing structural damage or irreversible damage to teeth.
