"What Happened to My Teeth?"

When our adult teeth come in when we're young, the enamel is new and at its most vibrant, white state. Over time, however, our teeth are exposed to countless food and drink products (and other things), many of which stain or diminish the enamel. When this happens, we can start to notice discoloration that dims our smile and dents our confidence.

Common contributors to tooth discoloration include:

• Red wine
• Tea
• Coffee
• Sodas
• Pasta sauce (tomato/marinara sauce)
• Smoking and tobacco products
• Berries
• Balsamic vinegar

"What If Whitening Doesn't Work?"

Remember: tooth discoloration affects each individual differently—and so do professional bleaching treatments, as well. One thing no dentist or specialist can promise that you'll instantly be granted gleaming, red carpet-ready teeth. These treatments, while effective for many patients, can bear incremental results. In rare cases, a patient's teeth may not respond to whitening at all.

In that case, there may be other options. Your dentist can speak to you about veneers, for example, as an alternative to the usual whitening methods. Whatever your circumstances may be, our dentists are ready to partner with you and explore all the available and safe options as you pursue you teeth whitening goals.
