Why Do Teeth Get Discolored?

Teeth discoloration is a natural part of life and can occur due to various factors:


  • Food and Drink: Coffee, tea, and red wine are major staining culprits.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause significant staining.
  • Age: Over time, the outer enamel layer gets thinner, revealing the yellowish dentin.
  • Medication: Certain medications can contribute to teeth discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

  • How long does teeth whitening last?

    Results can last several months, depending on lifestyle and oral hygiene.

  • Will whitening work on all types of discoloration?

    Whitening treatments work best on yellowing than on gray or darkened teeth, or teeth that have discolored due to medication. Surface stains are simple to treat with our whitening systems.



  • Is teeth whitening painful?

    No. During the treatment, you may experience some discomfort as the whitening tools are maneuvered around your mouth, but it isn’t painful. Some may experience temporary sensitivity after the treatment, which typically subsides. If you experience sensitivity after your treatment, we recommend avoiding hot or cold foods for the first day or two after the treatment.



  • Can I whiten my crowns and other fake teeth?

    Whitening is more effective on natural teeth than on restorations. If you have any crowns or other fake teeth, it’s unlikely that the whitening treatments will alter their appearance.



  • Will these teeth whitening methods damage my teeth?

    The only teeth whitening methods we offer are certified to be safe and effective. Whether you use our professional, in-office whitening system or one of our take-home kits, your teeth will be safe. We advise you to stay away from DIY tips or “hacks” that may appear online for teeth whitening: these can cause permanent damage!
