Patients can be understandably worried about dental discoloration, even if they are not concerned about the problem as a possible sign of poor oral health. When you see changes in your smile occur due to an accumulation of enamel stains, it can be difficult to feel comfortable with how you look. Fortunately, this is a fixable issue when you talk to your St. Louis, MO dentist! Our practice offers two different approaches to professional teeth whitening, as you can schedule an in-office treatment or pick up a personalized treatment kit. For those who have discoloration concerns because of problems within the tooth structure, Dr. Johnson-G’Sell can recommend other cosmetic services that provide the right improvements.

Dental Discoloration Affects Many People To Different Degrees

So many of the foods and drinks that we enjoy are dark or rich in color, and they can leave stains behind on our teeth. For some, the buildup of stains can lead to relatively minor concerns, but those who have deeper stains can be more alarmed by the impact this change has on how they look. Simply trying to live with this problem, or trying to take on stains with a store bought treatment, can lead to frustration. The good news is that you do not have to depend on what is commercially available to fight stains. Our cosmetic services include two different treatment approaches that can have more impact on your appearance!

Is A Teeth Whitening Treatment Right For You?

You can book a single-visit teeth whitening treatment with Dr. Johnson-G’Sell, or you can make arrangements to pick up an advanced whitening kit. With a take-home kit, you can fight discoloration that has made you self-conscious at your convenience. These kits contain potent bleaching agents as well as trays that make them easier to apply. Choosing an office treatment can help you enjoy results in a shorter time, which means your brighter smile is ready to show off before an important upcoming event.

What We Can Do About Intrinsic Discoloration

Intrinsic discoloration differs from teeth stains, and it calls for a different treatment approach. Changes within the tooth structure can occur for different reasons. When those changes do occur, your smile can appear dull or discolored, and you can have a difficult time seeing the right improvements on your own. Rather than use teeth whitening agents, we can recommend treatment with porcelain veneers, or determine if you qualify for dental bonding treatment, to hide these blemishes.
