Stained and Discolored Teeth

Targeted care for a brighter, more confident smile.

Understanding Stained and Discolored Teeth

Tooth discoloration is a common concern that affects both the appearance and confidence of your smile. Stains can develop over time due to everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, as well as from tobacco use, certain medications, or the natural aging process. Discoloration may appear on the surface (extrinsic) or within the tooth structure (intrinsic), and each type requires a specific approach.

At Lake Hills Family Dentistry, we take a personalized approach to cosmetic care. Our team will evaluate the cause and type of discoloration before recommending the most effective solution to restore your smile’s brightness.

Prevention and Treatment Options

Depending on your needs and the severity of the staining, we may suggest:

• Professional teeth whitening for safe, dramatic brightening results
• Porcelain veneers to conceal deeper or resistant stains
• Cosmetic bonding for localized discoloration or small imperfections
• Enamel polishing and gentle cleaning to remove surface buildup

We’ll work with you to select a treatment that fits your goals, lifestyle, and tooth sensitivity. With the right care, you can enjoy a whiter, healthier-looking smile that lasts.
