Understanding The Origin of Dental Stains
Have you ever noticed your smile not quite as bright as it once was? Dental stains can happen for various reasons, and understanding the two main types can help determine the best course of action for regaining your gleaming smile.
Stains on the Surface (Extrinsic):
These “external” stains are often the result of our daily choices. Foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, and pigmented sauces can leave their mark on the enamel (outer layer) of your teeth. Additionally, smoking and the natural process of aging can contribute to this type of discoloration.
Stains Within the Tooth (Intrinsic):
Unlike extrinsic stains, “internal” stains affect the dentin, the layer beneath the enamel. This type of discoloration often arises from factors like prior dental infections, trauma to the tooth, certain medications, or even underlying health conditions.

In-Clinic Whitening Experience:
Depending on the desired level of whitening, these treatments are typically completed in several short appointments. Each appointment involves applying a high-concentration whitening agent for 15-30 minute intervals, ensuring the entire process takes no longer than an hour and a half.
High-Potency Gel:
A powerful hydrogen peroxide gel is used, applied precisely with a syringe.
Light-Activated Whitening:
This method combines the hydrogen peroxide gel with the use of a high-intensity light source, such as LED, UV, or halogen. The light activates the gel, accelerating the whitening process.
Finding the Right Solution:
Professional teeth whitening may not be the answer for intrinsic stains. However, our dentists at Horasan Dental Clinic are equipped to help! We can explore alternative cosmetic solutions like porcelain veneers, thin shells custom-made to cover the front surface of your teeth, to achieve the bright smile you desire.
