Stains and unhealthy teeth are not synonymous; the simple passage of time and factors we can’t control (like our genes) may be to blame for stains. Fortunately, we have an effective solution for stained and discolored teeth, which make your smile look less healthy than it actually is, and make you look less youthful and vibrant than you feel!
In addition to highly concentrated professional teeth whitening that works, our El Paso Modern Dentistry team advises patients from across far west Texas on ways to keep their teeth stain-free. Even simple lifestyle changes and alterations to how you sip staining beverages (like coffee) can help retain those dazzling treatment results.
First, our dentist, Dr. Enrique Darancou, will ensure that discoloration is truly “cosmetic” and not a sign of an oral health concern like tooth decay. Dental decay can “show up” as dark, pitted areas. When cavities are not treated promptly and properly, they can grow and eventually change the color of the tooth structure from white to brown to black. This process occurs as minerals in our protective, naturally white enamel are lost. If cavities are to blame, we can discuss options to restore your teeth’ beauty and health with restorative dentistry like tooth-colored, composite fillings designed to blend in beautifully with the smile.
We can also discuss restorative dental options for patients with existing fillings or crowns. Dental work resists professional teeth whitening. So, we must ensure existing restorations blend in with your whiter teeth following professional treatment.
Our patients can benefit from one of the following methods or even a combination of the two:
Regular check-ups at El Paso Modern Dentistry are one of the best ways to keep your teeth stain-free and healthy. During professional cleanings, our hygienists remove surface stains, harmful bacteria, and plaque build-up.
