We Can Take Care Of Intrinsic Discoloration

There are problems with your smile that can be easily pointed out and described, but not every issue is so easy to properly identify. You may assume that your dull, discolored teeth look the way they do because of enamel stains. While stains can be present, what you are dealing with could be intrinsic discoloration. This problem occurs when issues within the tooth structure affect your smile color. At our Katy, TX dental office, we can recommend different solutions for this problem. We can also help you by confirming that this, and not enamel stains, should be treated to give you the right improvements.

Your Frustration Over Intrinsic Discoloration

Whether it is because you have tougher, deeper stains that affect your enamel or problems within the tooth structure, you can see little benefit from store bought whitening agents. For people who simply need something more potent, we can recommend a professional teeth whitening treatment. However, those with internal issues that hurt their smile color can benefit from something else. We can look at your smile to determine what approach is right for you. In addition to taking on discoloration, we can determine how else we can change your appearance for the better!

Planning Cosmetic Dental Work To Brighten A Smile Hurt By Intrinsic Discoloration

To take on issues with intrinsic discoloration, we can provide a solution in the form of treatment with porcelain veneers, or we can recommend a tooth bonding procedure. Bonding procedures hide flaws through the application of a resin substance, while veneers are durable restorations that are affixed to the front surfaces of teeth that look unattractive. With both of these options, we can make additional improvements that take care of teeth that are misshapen, damaged, or even out of place! While porcelain veneers can be secured over two visits, we may be able to complete a bonding and contouring procedure after just one appointment.

Taking On Extrinsic Stains

While they may be a common problem, external stains can be an understandably frustrating one. As the particles from different foods and drinks gather on your teeth, you can find that your smile appears dull and unattractive. You can take on this problem with a professional teeth whitening treatment, which provides improvements by accessing and breaking apart even those tougher stains that have gathered. We do offer a take-home treatment kit, making this a surprisingly conservative solution.
