Whitening for Surface Stains, Solutions from Your Scottsdale Dentist

A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and make a great first impression. However, surface stains from coffee, tea, and certain foods can discolor teeth over time. If you’re looking to restore your smile’s brightness, professional whitening treatments from your Scottsdale dentist offer safe and effective solutions.

What Causes Surface Stains?

Common causes include:

• Food and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries can stain enamel over time.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause stubborn yellow or brown discoloration.
• Poor Oral Hygiene: Infrequent brushing and flossing allow plaque and stain-causing particles to build up.
• Aging: As enamel wears down, teeth may appear duller and more prone to staining.

Whitening Solutions from Your Scottsdale Dentist

While over-the-counter whitening products may provide some improvement, professional whitening treatments are more effective and longer-lasting. Here are some options available from our Scottsdale dentist.

In-Office Whitening

Professional in-office whitening provides immediate results in just one visit. Using a high-strength bleaching agent and advanced light technology, this treatment can lighten your teeth by several shades in about an hour.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer a gradual whitening process, there are available custom take-home kits that offer  convenience and professional-grade results. These kits include whitening trays designed to fit your teeth, ensuring even coverage and effective stain removal.

Whitening Toothpaste and Maintenance

After whitening treatment, using recommended whitening toothpaste, materials, and maintaining good cleaning habits can help preserve your results. Regular dental cleanings also remove plaque and surface stains before they become permanent.
