What Causes Teeth to Become Stained and Discolored?

Over time, teeth can become discolored or stained, which can impact the appearance of your smile. Understanding the causes of tooth discoloration can help you take steps to prevent it from happening and maintain a brighter, more vibrant smile.

  • Natural Aging Process: As you age, your teeth can become more susceptible to staining and discoloration due to natural wear and tear. The enamel on your teeth can wear down over time, revealing the yellowish dentin underneath.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Poor oral hygiene can also contribute to tooth discoloration. Failure to brush and floss regularly can allow plaque and tartar to build up on your teeth, leading to yellowing and staining.
  • Foods and Beverages: Certain foods and beverages can stain your teeth, including coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored fruits and vegetables. 
  • Tobacco Use: The chemicals in tobacco can stain your teeth over time, leading to a yellowed or brown appearance.
  • Medications: For example, tetracycline antibiotics can cause gray or brown staining, while certain antihistamines and blood pressure medications can cause yellowing.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a safe, affordable, and effective way to achieve a whiter smile, and it offers numerous benefits beyond just aesthetics.

Increased Confidence

A bright, white smile can boost your self-esteem and make you feel more attractive. Feeling good about your smile can also positively impact other areas of your life, such as social and professional interactions.

A More Youthful Appearance

Teeth whitening can help reverse the signs of aging by reducing the appearance of stains and discoloration that can make teeth look dull and yellowed. A whiter smile can make you look more youthful and vibrant.

Better Oral Hygiene

Teeth whitening can also improve your oral hygiene habits. When you invest in a brighter smile, you may be more motivated to take better care of your teeth and maintain a healthier smile.

Enhanced Social Life

A brighter smile can also help you feel more comfortable in social situations. You may feel more confident when meeting new people or attending events, leading to improved social interactions and relationships.

Affordable and Convenient

Types of Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments

General dentistry at Loberg Dental Center - Laguna HillsThere are two main types of professional teeth whitening treatments: in-office and at-home whitening

  • In-office whitening involves visiting our Laguna Hills dental office, where our cosmetic dentist applies a bleaching agent to your teeth while protecting your gums and soft tissues. The treatment usually takes an hour or two and can deliver dramatic results immediately.
  • At-home whitening involves using custom-fitted trays filled with a whitening gel to apply at home. This treatment takes several weeks, with results gradually appearing over time.
