Do you have dull or yellow teeth that rob your smile of its
luster? If so, you have probably looked into teeth whitening treatment. But did
you know that teeth whitening treatment, while effective in most cases, is not
recommended or able to remove one type of stain? To learn more about this stain
type and why porcelain veneers offer
a more effective solution for it, read the explanation below from your Grand Prairie dentist, Dr. Quinn Smith.
A Closer Look at Stain Types and Whitening
Teeth stains can be categorized into two general stain types:
intrinsic stains and extrinsic stains. The characteristic that separates these
two stain types is location. Intrinsic stains exist within teeth, while
extrinsic stains occur on the outer surface of teeth, and location is ultimate reason
why teeth whitening treatment is ineffective against intrinsic stains. Because
intrinsic stains exist within teeth, the whitening agents used in professional
teeth whitening are unable to reach the stains and are, therefore, unsuccessful
in removing them. Extrinsic stains, on the other hand, are easily reachable by
the whitening agents and can be removed.
Porcelain Veneers and Intrinsic Stains
Because teeth whitening is unable to remove intrinsic
stains, cosmetic dentistry must turn elsewhere if it is to improve the appearance
of teeth that have sustained these stains, and it has. Porcelain veneers are
generally recommended as a solution to intrinsic stains, and they are very effective
because the veneers do not seek to remove the stains, but to mask them instead.
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that adhere to the front
surface of teeth to cover cosmetic blights. They are also strong and
stain-resistant, meaning that they create a durable, new smile that patients
can show off for years to come.
