Understanding Yellow or Stained Teeth

Tooth color varies naturally. Surface stains and deeper discoloration need different approaches. Have new discoloration, especially in one tooth after an injury, assessed before choosing cosmetic treatment.

We check your teeth, gums, and existing restorations before discussing a change in shade. Whitening does not lighten fillings, crowns, or veneers.
