What Causes Tooth Stains?

Did you know that teeth actually have microscopic pores? Once you realize this it becomes easier to understand how teeth become stained. Virtually all foods and drinks (with the exception of water) contain incredibly small atomic pigments known as chromophores. Over time, these chromophores combine and build up within the pores of the teeth, darkening them over time. Now let's talk about how to eliminate these deep-set stains!

Am I a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is one of the safest and most accessible cosmetic dental treatments available. Most patients in good general dental health are excellent candidates. However, whitening works best when the following conditions are met:

  • Your teeth and gums are healthy — we recommend a cleaning before whitening to ensure even results
  • Your staining is from food, drink, tobacco, or aging (extrinsic or mild intrinsic)
  • Your existing dental work is limited on visible front teeth, as whitening gel does not change the color of restorations

Whitening may not be the right first step if you have significant tooth decay, gum disease, or very sensitive teeth — we’ll identify and address any of these issues at your consultation first. Patients with severe intrinsic staining (such as from tetracycline) are ideal candidates for KöR Whitening specifically, which is formulated for exactly these cases.

Not sure which option is right for you? A quick consultation with us is all it takes to map out your ideal whitening plan.

Eliminate Deep Teeth Stains

The key to eliminating deep tooth stains (intrinsic stains) is using whitening methods that produce "friendly free radicals" to eliminate stain-causing chromophores. The main goal of professional teeth whitening is to extend that friendly-free radical action. This is done with powerful blue LED lights, as well as additives such as carbopol polymers, sodium pyrophosphates, and sodium hydroxide.
