When you look at your smile in the mirror or in photos, are you bothered by stained and discolored teeth? There could be various reasons for your tooth discoloration, from genetics to the foods you eat to your oral hygiene. Regardless of the cause of your tooth stains, we invite you to come visit Megan Jones, DDS!

A Routine Polishing

Sometimes all it takes is some polishing from a dental hygienist to get rid of those pesky stains on your teeth. This works with extrinsic stains, which are superficial stains that are on the outer surface of your tooth enamel. You may come in for a routine dental cleaning and be surprised at how much whiter your teeth look afterwards!

Professional Teeth Whitening

Although there are a plethora of products in stores and DIY tutorials online about how to get whiter teeth, nothing compares to the safety, effectiveness, and dramatic results of professional teeth whitening. Stains that have deeply penetrated into your teeth can only be transformed with a dentist’s help. Whether it’s an in-office treatment or a take-home whitening kit, the materials you get from your dentist are professional-grade and capable of whitening both intrinsic and extrinsic discoloration.

Veneers

There are some stains that are too severe for even professional teeth whitening. That’s when veneers come in. We can cover the front of your stained teeth with custom veneers to give you a beautiful, new smile.

Restorative Dentistry

It could be the case that the stain you’re seeing is due to a cavity, an infection, or maybe even a dead tooth. Your dentist will recommend a restorative treatment that will improve the appearance and health of your smile.
