The Causes of Tooth Discoloration and Staining
Plaque, bacteria, and tartar buildup often cause stained and yellow teeth. When these substances remain on the tooth’s surface for longer periods of time, they can cause discoloration and darkening of the enamel.
However, the most common cause of discolored teeth is smoking and consuming items like coffee, wine, soda, and tea, which stain the teeth over time. Certain medications and aging are also known causes of tooth discoloration and staining.
The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter whitening products may not remove stains caused by smoking or staining foods and drinks. This is why many dentists offer professional teeth whitening for patients who want to achieve better results than can typically be achieved at home. Professional teeth whitening procedures use more robust solutions and application techniques than those available over the counter, allowing patients to achieve better, faster, more long-lasting results.
Professional treatments also offer more customized options, including different types of whitening techniques. Patients can choose between the faster results of in-office treatments or the convenience of take-home trays.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home kits consist of custom-fitted trays that fit securely over your teeth and a prescription-strength gel. The gel trays are typically worn for a few hours during the day or at night for a prescribed amount of time until the desired results are achieved.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening treatment is typically completed in one visit to Pacific Coast dentistry. Your gums will be protected before the whitening product is applied to your teeth. A light may be used to enhance the whitening action of the gel. After your procedure, our dentist will help you determine how often you’ll need follow-up treatments to maintain your results.
