Dental discoloration can affect many people, but not all people with this problem have it for the same reason. While it is common for dental discoloration to be connected with teeth stains, some patients who want to do something about the brightness of their smile need to address intrinsic discoloration. This term refers to any problem within the tooth structure that changes the color of your teeth. At our Moreno Valley, CA dental practice, we can evaluate your smile to see whether intrinsic discoloration has affected your appearance, or if you are someone who needs to address teeth stains. While teeth whitening treatments are effective at fighting stains, we may need to suggest another cosmetic dental procedure if internal problems are identified. (more…)
