Severe Stain Enamel Whitening

Dark Stains - Antibiotic Residual

Dark tooth stains or severe staining that affects an entire arch or both arches are often due to the use of certain antibiotic drugs. A commonly known substance that creates this unsightly cosmetic result is Tetracycline.

Custom Formula Power Whitening

In some instances, certain combinations of procedures, specially formulated whitening gels and other products administered within a dentist's office can be effective in eliminating much of the stain.

As the adjacent after photo shows, this patient obtain excellent whitening results with Dr. Briglia's use of some specialized products and procedures. The effect is quite dramatic.

Whitening Is Not Always Successful

In moderate to severe cases however, light activated gels and other power whitening techniques may not produce the cosmetic result patients want.

Patients who have unusual stain problems are evaluated individually by Dr. Briglia to determine the extent of stain damage and how certain internal tooth structures have been affected.

Use of over the counter whitening products and bleaching kits sometimes can have a beneficial effect but for some people with sensitivity issues, these whitening products can do harm to tooth structures and supportive tissues (gingiva).

Veneer Makeovers

Great looking teeth nonetheless can be achieved with the skillful application of feldspathic veneers. This quality of porcelain contains the ideal properties for masking the cosmetic appearance of original tooth structures.

Feldspathic porcelain veneers, such as those made by the famous Davinci Dental Labs, can whiten severely stained teeth - even those disfigured by the antibiotic drug tetracycline.

As can be seen in our after photo, quality porcelain veneers can be the perfect solution for creating the best opportunity for a dramatic difference ... a brilliant and natural appearing smile that would fool even Mother Nature herself.

Dr. Briglia uses a variety of porcelain technologies and dental labs (including Davinci) to provide our patients a range of choices for treating different types of cosmetic goals.

There is no single veneer product - treatment that is suitable for everyone.

For patients with significant dark staining, Dr. Briglia may recommend hand crafted porcelain crowns as the definitive treatment choice for certain upper arch anterior teeth structures.
