Treatment for Stained Teeth in Oklahoma

Do you have yellow teeth or noticeable stains? Like other cosmetic dental issues, stained teeth can take a toll on your self-confidence. In some cases, they may even start to impact how you speak and smile. Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments that are safe and work quickly to whiten discoloration and fix stained teeth.

At The Tooth Experience, we offer both in-office teeth whitening procedures and take-home whitening trays and gel. Both treatment options are safe, non-invasive, and comfortable. In just one office visit or a few weeks of consistently using our custom take-home trays, you can remove visible surface stains from your teeth and brighten your entire smile without causing sensitivity!

What causes stained teeth?

Most people have some degree of discoloration on their teeth, and it can stem from a number of factors. Some stains are intrinsic, meaning they result from internal factors within the body or tooth structure. Other stains are extrinsic, which are caused by external factors often related to lifestyle. Some of the most common reasons for stained teeth are:

    Poor dental care – Brushing and flossing daily are essential to maintaining oral health on every level. Without practicing these essential dental hygiene habits and getting professional cleanings, food residue and plaque can build up and cause staining.

    Certain foods and drinks – From red wine and coffee to certain berries and sauces, there are a number of foods and drinks that have been shown to worsen stained teeth.

    Smoking – Tobacco use is a prominent culprit of discolored teeth.

    Aging – As we get older, the natural daily wear and tear from talking and chewing weakens the enamel over time. This causes our teeth to become more translucent and prone to staining.

    Disease – Certain illnesses such as diabetes, metabolic deficiencies, eating disorders, and more can have a major impact on the strength and appearance of your teeth.

    Medications – Many common medications including antibiotics and antihistamines can contribute to tooth discoloration.

Whether your stained teeth are caused by intrinsic or extrinsic factors (or a combination of both), we can work with you to provide treatment to remove stains and give you a whiter, brighter smile.

Treatments for stained teeth

01

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our professional in-office teeth whitening treatments can fix stained teeth and dramatically brighten your smile in just a single visit. The procedure is non-invasive and comfortable, even for patients who deal with tooth sensitivity. The whole process only takes about two hours and is completely customizable – we’ll formulate the whitening treatment to achieve your desired result!

02

Take-Home Whitening Trays

Our custom-made, take-home teeth whitening trays are a convenient and affordable alternative to in-office whitening treatments. They can also be used in conjunction with professional whitening, as a way to maintain your bright smile between visits.

03

Veneers

While teeth whitening treatments are a highly effective method to fix stained teeth, porcelain veneers may be the ideal treatment option for patients dealing with more than one cosmetic concern. Veneers are thin shells that can be placed over your natural teeth and can improve the appearance of stains and discoloration as well as crooked, rotated, cracked, or chipped teeth. They look just like your natural teeth and will leave you with a white, straight smile!
