Discolored teeth are something we all notice, as we get older. There are many teeth whitening options from in-home teeth whitening kits to professional whitening, such as Zoom or Brite Smile. Porcelain veneers and composite bonding are the true Cosmetic Dentistry tools to improve your stained and discolored smile permanently. Smile makeover includes removing the stained and discolored teeth and turning them into a confident, beautiful smile.

• There are many reasons for discolored teeth. The most common is accumulation of stains from food and drink. Obviously, more exposure to darker substances stains the teeth faster. Smoking, tea and coffee are the major culprits.
• Drugs and medications either taken by the mother while pregnant or by the child during the time of tooth development can cause changes in both the color and hardness of the enamel. The antibiotic tetracycline given before the age of 8 years is a cause of discolored teeth.
