Causes of Tooth Discoloration

Over the years, you will notice the color of your teeth changing because it is unavoidable as you age. Daily wear and tear cause your enamel to thin. This makes more of your yellowish dentin become more visible. Besides age, there are other factors that can lead to discoloration, like poor oral hygiene habits.

Among the leading cause of stains involves the foods and drinks you consume. Those that are darkly pigmented or acidic makes the color of your teeth change quicker. In addition, tobacco can significantly impact the brightness of your smile.

To combat the changes, you have likely given a few over-the-counter whitening products a try, but you were left dissatisfied with the results. Although they are affordable and convenient, they do not contain professional-grade whitening agents, so they cannot deeply penetrate your enamel. Any change you see will be minor and it will not last.

Thankfully, you do not need to live with a discolored smile. Your dentist in Grapevine has the solution you need.

Teeth Whitening FAQs

Teeth whitening is an excellent way to reduce discoloration and help you to feel more confident about your smile. However, you want to be well informed before undergoing this treatment. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions we are asked about teeth whitening. If you don’t see your question listed below, don’t worry. Just give us a call and we’d be more than happy to provide you with the information you’re looking for and set you up for a consultation.

Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?

Many patients are hesitant to commit to teeth whitening because they are worried that it will hurt. Fortunately, professional whitening treatments are completely custom, so you are much less likely to experience tooth sensitivity. If you are more prone to tooth sensitivity, let us know. By spacing out treatments, avoiding hot beverages, and using a special toothpaste, you can reduce and avoid this unpleasant sensation.

Does Teeth Whitening Damage Enamel?

Professional teeth whitening does not damage healthy enamel. However, if your teeth are already compromised by decay or gum disease, the chemicals can cause issues. That’s why conducting a comprehensive dental exam beforehand is so important. Additional damage can result from at-home remedies, like using activated charcoal and hydrogen peroxide to address discoloration. Overuse of whitening products can also wear away your enamel. Ultimately, if you want to whiten your teeth, you should always schedule a dental appointment. This way you can get valuable insight about the whitening process and how it can be done safely.

Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?

No, teeth whitening isn’t permanent. Your results will last anywhere from a couple of months to a few years depending on how well you care for your teeth. In order to prolong your results, you should implement a solid at-home oral hygiene routine, attend your regular dental visits, and avoid poor habits. Touch-up treatments are available to keep your teeth bright and white!

Does Teeth Whitening Work on Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns cannot be whitened like your natural tooth enamel. Whitening gels can actually weaken the bond between your tooth and restoration, which can cause complications. The good news is that you can keep your dental crowns from becoming discolored over time by implementing preventive practices, like avoiding tobacco products, limiting the consumption of dark-colored beverages, and maintaining an excellent oral hygiene routine. If you are unhappy with the shade of your crown, it can be replaced in order to better match the rest of your smile.
