Why Would a Tooth Be Discolored?

Your dentist in Gambrills, MD, can help you enjoy a beautiful smile.

Discolored teeth can be a pain. You may feel like they stick out like a sore thumb, ruining your smile. The truth is, teeth can be discolored for many reasons, most of which are not your fault. No matter what the reason is for your tooth discoloration, your dentist can help. You can have a bright, beautiful smile again.

Dr. Robert Daly of Waugh Chapel Dental in Gambrills, MD, offers comprehensive dental care services including cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Lumineers, Invisalign, and emergency dental services. He can help you enjoy a beautiful smile.

These are just a few of the reasons why a tooth can be discolored:

  • Medications; some medications, like tetracycline, cause tooth discoloration
  • Trauma; if your tooth is hit, it can begin to darken
  • Lifestyle habits; drinking coffee and using tobacco products can stain your teeth
  • Old metal fillings, which can make your teeth look dark

The good news is, there are some effective ways your dentist can get rid of the discolorations and give you a bright, white smile. Consider:

  • Professional teeth whitening, which is an excellent choice to get rid of coffee and tobacco stains. You can whiten and brighten your teeth up to 8 shades, and your astounding results can last up to 5 years! Professional teeth whitening is the safe way to whiten your smile.
  • Lumineers, which are a superb way to hide major discolorations from medications, trauma, or other issues. Lumineers are gorgeous laminates of porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can hide both minor and major discolorations, giving you a flawless smile.
  • Cosmetic fillings, which are a great replacement for old metal fillings because the material can be matched to the natural color of your teeth. After a cosmetic filling is placed, it will blend naturally and beautifully with your smile.
