Teeth whitening can completely remove stains on the tooth's surface caused by acidic or dark-colored beverages, foods, or smoking. However, for deeper stains caused by dental issues such as cavities and decay, teeth whitening alone often isn't enough to remove them. If dental issues are identified during your exam, your dentist will need to treat these issues before you can have your teeth safely and effectively whitened. If your dentist determines that teeth whitening still isn't a good option for your dental needs, they may recommend veneers, bonding, or crowns to perfect your smile's appearance.
