HOW TO TREAT DISCOLORED TEETH

As we age, our teeth tend to collect stains and discoloration for a variety of reasons. Natural changes in the inner tooth structure can cause your teeth to darken and take on a yellow tint over time. Meanwhile, all of the coffee, tea, and wine that we consume takes its toll on the outer surface of our teeth.

Discolored teeth can be treated very effectively through professional teeth whitening procedures. At Chapnick Dental Office, we offer the Sapphire Teeth Whitening system, which can give you a significantly whiter smile in one 90-minute visit to our office. If you would prefer to whiten your teeth at home and at your own pace, Dr. Chapnick also offers take-home Sapphire Teeth Whitening kits. This at-home tooth whitening system requires the use of custom-fitted whitening trays that Dr. Chapnick will create for you.

Sometimes, however, patients have permanent stains within their teeth (such as stains caused by tetracycline) that are not easily bleached away by a tooth whitening treatment. In these cases, porcelain veneers are another popular smile-transforming option. These thin, translucent layers of porcelain are bonded to the front surface of your teeth, blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile and providing you with the beautiful shade of natural white you were looking for. If you have chipped or misshapen teeth along with discoloration, porcelain veneers are a great way of solving both problems at once.
