Why is it Important to Determine the Cause of Discoloration?

Understanding the nature of tooth discoloration is crucial, as its varied forms demand different treatment approaches. Not all stains respond to the same methods. For example, the stubborn yellowing often associated with tobacco use can penetrate deeply into the tooth, making it resistant to standard whitening. In these instances, more comprehensive cosmetic solutions such as dental bonding or porcelain veneers may be recommended. However, simpler surface stains can often be effectively addressed with mild bleaching and abrasive treatments. Dr. Carmona will meticulously evaluate the cause of your discoloration to ensure a precise and personalized treatment plan, guiding you toward your brightest smile.

What Types of Teeth Whitening Are Available?

Dr. Carmona at Austin Prosthodontics is dedicated to delivering exceptional, personalized care. Understanding that effective whitening isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, we provide various professional teeth whitening options tailored to your specific needs and schedule. We invite you to consult with Dr. Carmona to explore the best approach for achieving your brightest smile. Certain types of discoloration can be particularly persistent or may stem from deeper issues. In such cases, Dr. Carmona might suggest that bonding, veneers, or crowns could provide a more effective path to a whiter, more uniform smile. For those considering at-home whitening with over-the-counter products, we strongly recommend a prior discussion with Dr. Carmona. His expert guidance will help protect your oral health and maximize the effectiveness of any chosen treatment.

In-Office Whitening

In-office tooth whitening procedures produce the best results that last the longest. Dr. Carmona will work with you to determine the perfect shade of white for you and closely monitor the process to achieve your desired results.

At-Home Whitening Kit

Professional at-home kits offer you the convenience of doing the treatment at home and on your own schedule with the benefit of professional results. Ask Dr. Carmona if our at-home whitening kits are right for you.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

Teeth whitening cost varies depending on your individual treatment plan. Since this is an elective cosmetic procedure, most dental insurance plans won’t cover it. However, we partner with Lending Club Patient Solutions to offer payment plans that fit within your budget.

Investing in your smile is an investment in your self-confidence. To learn more about your payment options, call our Austin dental office today to talk to our patient care coordinator and billing staff. You deserve to have the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.

FAQs

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

There are numerous causes for tooth discoloration and staining. You can either experience surface staining from things like smoking and coffee, or you can experience discoloration from the underlying dentin darkening. Determining the cause of your tooth discoloration is a vital part of determining the best treatment plan for you.

Food and drink: Drinks like red wine and coffee cause tooth staining because the pigments of the drinks actually adhere to the surface of your teeth, staining your tooth enamel.
Medication: Certain medications can cause tooth discoloration. These include antihistamines, antibiotics, and chemotherapy.
Tobacco: Tobacco use, particularly smoking, will discolor your teeth because the tar and nicotine will seep into the pores of your teeth and cause them to turn yellow.
Age: As we age, our enamel wears down, revealing the yellow dentin below.

Dr. Carmona will take x-rays and work closely with you to determine the cause of your tooth staining and discoloration to develop the best-individualized treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes. Teeth whitening is safe when you have it professionally done. You should always have a professional exam before you whiten your teeth, even if you are choosing to whiten your teeth at home.

Treating any dental concerns like cavities or chipped teeth prior to whitening will make whitening even safer.
Because some stains may require specific treatment or won’t be able to be lightened, talking with Dr. Carmona before whitening your teeth will help you set realistic expectations and explore any other necessary options.
Pregnant women should not whiten their teeth. If you are pregnant and want to explore your whitening options, talk to Dr. Carmona about the best treatment plan following your delivery.

Dr. Carmona and staff were very caring and attentive. Will be going back. If you need a dental implant or any dental work in Austin, this is the place to go.

Sandra

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Carmona and his office. Having seen many dentists for my complex treatment, he was the only one who gave me a comprehensive plan with great results. I had 25 year old bridgework replaced with a combination of new bridges and dental implants. I also needed bone grafting in order for implants to work and he was able to partner with an oral surgeon for this. He answered my barrage of questions thoroughly and with great care. I cannot say enough about my experience and have a wonderful smile as proof. As a bonus he and the surgeon were both in-network, saving me thousands of dollars out of pocket. Do not hesitate coming here!
