Extrinsic Tooth Stains

Tooth discoloration can make even the healthiest smile look undesirable. We’ve previously discussed intrinsic stains in a previous post, but now our doctors at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists would like to discuss extrinsic stains. Extrinsic tooth stains occur on the outer surfaces of the teeth and can range in color from yellow to dark brown. Though extrinsic staining isn’t detrimental to your oral health, it may affect your self-esteem. Fortunately, we offer whitening services to fix that.


If you regularly drink beverages like coffee, tea, soda, or wine, your teeth may eventually develop a dark hue. Additionally, lifestyle habits such as smoking may also cause extrinsic stains on the tooth. Most often, extrinsic stains can be removed with professional whitening treatment. Not everyone is a candidate for whitening, so to discuss if this treatment method is right for you, schedule a consultation with The Oyster Bay Family Dentists.


If you have questions or concerns about teeth whitening services, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at the practice, visit www.oysterbaydentists.com for more information.
