Why are my Teeth Discolored?
We live in an appearance and youth conscious society where dull, stained teeth are a common dental complaint. Falling into two categories-extrinsic and intrinsic-it is important to understand the type of discoloration your teeth may fall under in order to properly address your discoloration. The first type is extrinsic discoloration, which occurs in the outer layer of the tooth-enamel. Enamel stains can often range from white streaks to yellow tints or brown spots and pits.
The second type of discoloration is intrinsic discoloration, which occurs in the inner structure of the tooth, called the dentin. When the dentin darkens or displays a yellow or gray tint, this is where intrinsic discoloration occurs. While extrinsic discoloration can be effectively treated using various whitening techniques, intrinsic staining may be more complicated, potentially requiring alternative cosmetic treatment such as veneers.

Whitening and How Does it Work?Widely used throughout the country and around the world, Zoom! is a whitening process that helps to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete, but it is recommended that you receive a regular cleaning prior to the whitening session to provide the best results. The Zoom! Whitening procedure will begin with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. This preparation is completed in order to protect your lips and gums from the effects of the bleaching agent. Your dentist will then apply the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening get, which works with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration. Once the gel is applied, it will remain in place for 15 minutes while the light is activated. In the meantime, just sit back and relax while the whitening takes place. The gel will be applied for three 15-minute sessions of light activation, for a total treatment time of less than an hour. If you have a strong gag reflex, or experience dental anxiety, you may experience difficulty undergoing the entire procedure.If you are looking for a brighter, whiter smile talk to your dentist in Orlando for more information on Zoom!
