Sometimes, deep tooth stains will not react to whitening treatment, even if a professional oversees that treatment. We will recommend dental bonding or porcelain veneers for patients with intrinsic stains. Intrinsic stains are stains within a tooth and occur when staining particles accumulate within the enamel. We can cover stained teeth with bonding treatment, which uses malleable material, or veneers, which are shell-like treatments bonded to the front of each tooth.

Visiting the dentist twice a year can also help remove stains and keep your teeth clean.
