How does intrinsic discoloration differ from the kind of discoloration caused by external stains? The stains that gather on your enamel can be effectively treated with bleaching agents that remove particles that have dulled this material. When you have intrinsic discoloration, you will have issues within the tooth structure that are responsible for your cosmetic flaws, which means a different approach to care should be pursued. The good news is that this is still an issue that can be addressed effectively through cosmetic dental work. At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we can discuss services that are capable of hiding these blemishes and restoring the quality of your smile! We can also talk to you about the use of dental crowns to take on more significant discoloration issues. (more…)
