Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Ideal candidates for teeth whitening typically have healthy gums and extrinsic stains caused by factors such as:
- Diet: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain foods can stain teeth.
- Lifestyle: Smoking can significantly discolor teeth.
- Age: Natural aging can lead to a gradual yellowing of teeth.

Treatment Methods for Intrinsic Stains
Teeth whitening is typically not effective for intrinsic stains, which occur within the tooth structure itself. These stains may be caused by certain medications, trauma, or underlying dental conditions. Fortunately, E. Richard Hughes, DDS offers additional cosmetic treatments ideal for addressing those harder to target tooth stains.
For intrinsic tooth stains, Dr. Hughes may recommend alternative cosmetic solutions such as porcelain veneers, dental bonding, or crowns. These treatments cover the stained tooth surface with natural-looking restorations, effectively concealing the discoloration.
