Discoloration can be the result of a combination of things:
- genetics
- poor oral hygiene
- medication
- the effects of aging
- smoking
- certain foods
Whitening techniques will only work fr staining caused by some medications if the discoloration is very mild. Teeth that are discolored because of medication or excessive fluoride are not good candidates for the whitening procedure. Veneers are the best solution for more severe discoloration cases. Once you reach our office, our dentist will let you know the best solution for you.
