Teeth stains are a common dental issue that affects people of all ages. They can make your teeth look yellow or discolored, which can affect your confidence and self-esteem. There are several types of teeth stains, and your treatment options will depend on the type of stains your teeth present.
At JLM Dental Studio, Dr. Jarrett Manning provides cosmetic dentistry services like professional teeth whitening so you can achieve the stunning, bright smile you desire. Discover how our dentist can help tackle teeth stains with professional teeth whitening.
Extrinsic stains are the most common type of teeth stains, and they occur on the surface of the teeth. These stains are caused by external factors, such as:
Fortunately, extrinsic stains are easier to remove since they don’t penetrate the tooth’s enamel. Extrinsic teeth stains can be removed through professional teeth cleaning or teeth whitening treatments, such as in-office whitening.
In-office teeth whitening is generally the best professional treatment option. In-office whitening involves a dental professional applying a strong bleaching agent to the teeth and using a special light to activate the whitening process. This method can effectively remove surface stains caused by external factors such as coffee, tea, and tobacco use.
An in-office whitening treatment may not be suitable for individuals with sensitive teeth. Your dental professional will advise you on the best treatment option for your specific needs.
Age-related tooth stains occur naturally as we age. As we get older, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth becomes thinner, revealing the yellow dentin beneath the tooth surface. Over time, teeth become more porous and can more easily absorb pigments from foods, drinks, and tobacco.
Mild to moderate age-related teeth stains can be treated with professional teeth whitening treatments, such as in-office whitening, custom at-home whitening kits, or over-the-counter whitening products like whitening toothpaste or strips.
For severe cases, laser teeth whitening is an effective option, offering fast and effective results by using a laser to activate the whitening compound. Additionally, we can treat them with dental bonding or porcelain veneers. It’s important to consult with your dentist to determine the best treatment option for your specific needs. They can assess the condition of your teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment to help you achieve a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.
Professional teeth whitening treatments are the most effective way to remove all types of teeth stains. Depending on the type of teeth stain you have, our dentists may recommend one of the following teeth whitening treatments as part of a comprehensive teeth whitening process:
These treatments aim at whitening teeth by removing stains and lightening the color of teeth through various methods, including professional tooth bleaching and at-home care, to achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
Yes, teeth stains can be prevented with proper oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and avoiding foods and beverages that are known to cause stains, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. Regular dental cleanings can also help remove surface stains before they become more embedded in the enamel.
Over-the-counter teeth whitening products, such as whitening toothpaste, whitening toothpastes, or strips, can help to remove mild extrinsic stains. However, they aren’t as effective as professional teeth whitening treatments and may take longer to achieve desired results.
Not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening treatment. Individuals with gum disease, tooth decay, or sensitive teeth may not be suitable candidates. Consult with a dental professional before undergoing any teeth whitening treatment.
The best dental experience ever from the time I walked through the door until it was time to leave. The staff is absolutely amazing, very thorough, comforting, and made sure to let me know step by step what was going on during my appointment. They take their time, nothing is rushed and that let me know they truly care about my dental health. This was my first time at this office and I can say I have found the dentist home for me.
My visit as a new patient was top tier!! The customer service and the professionalism in this office was the best. Dasia took my X-rays and pictures of my teeth. She was very kind, communicative and made me feel welcomed. Crystal was my dental hygienist. She took her time and was very thorough. She provided me with education regarding my treatment plan and was able to give feedback based on my current regimen. I saw Dr. Evans for my exam and she was very thorough and pleasant. Everyone made me feel welcomed at this office. It was a very clean environment. This has been the best dental experience I’ve had. I can’t wait to return!
Love love love this dental office… The staff are very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I love the warm feeling you get upon arrival… The office and equipment is state of the art… Ten STARS!
I love being a patient here! The office is very nice and clean. The staff is amazing! They were extremely kind, patient, and generous when I brought my 91 year old grandma there for some dental work. I highly recommend!
I have been coming to this practice for about 2-3 years, and I have always had a great experience from the receptionist, whether it’s when I call or when I arrive in person. All the support staff and Dr. Jarrett and the other dentists are wonderful. Plus, the office smells great and looks fabulous. So, if you are looking for a new dental practice, call for an appointment!
Dr. Manning is phenomenal and extremely ethical. She repaired work that another dentist did when she could have told me I required the work to be completely redone as another dentist did. Her office is inviting. Her staff is kind, professional, and efficient. She’s def the only dentist I’ll see going forward. I also love Crystal her hygienist. Overall, this is an ethical and high-quality practice that provides the highest standards of care.
Switched to JLM Dental Studio from a prior local Smyrna dentist office several years ago. JLM’s office location is welcoming and organized. Bright environment, exceptionally designed. You don’t expect a dentist office to have a fun “vibe”, right? They captured one.
Dr. Jarrett is my primary dentist. I’ve gone through multiple treatment services, fillings, extraction, general cleaning, and recently Invisalign. I don’t question what treatments are recommended nor do I feel I’ve ever received unnecessary services for a cash grab. Dr. Jarrett focuses on overall oral health education vs vanity. Dr. Mel is equally a great addition to the team. Can’t go wrong either way. Pleased with my experiences which include multiple referrals. Grade A!
I love this dentistry office!! Dr. Manning and her staff are so professional. Very thorough and the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office!! They have me as a patient for life!!
Dr. Manning is a very knowledgeable, professional, and caring dentist. She has a great patient-interaction manner. I am thrilled that Star is back. The front office staff is very professional. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Manning’s for 4 years. I am a VERY satisfied patient.
Dr. Jarrett and her staff are amazing! I had a problem with my crown twice and without hesitation they got me and took care of the problem! I especially want to let people know that Tiffany is phenomenal! Her customer service skills make you so comfortable! Thanks again for such great service! I highly recommend JLM Dentistry.
I absolutely love my dentist’s office. From the front desk, the hygienist (Crystal), and Dr. Jarrett, I am in total peace every time. Anytime you sleep when you are getting your teeth cleaned or cavities filled, that surely speaks to the magnitude of comfort, trust, and ambiance in the office. Thank you JLM Dental Studio.
I’m never a huge fan of going to the dentist (not sure who is), but JLM Dental Studios was amazing. It was easy to book my first appointment, the office was extremely clean and quiet, and the staff were all very welcoming and professional. I will definitely be making JLM my dentist’s office moving forward.
Crystal did an awesome job on my cleaning! The exam was the most thorough I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!
My visit today at JLM dental studios was pleasant. The front office staff (Monica) is friendly & polite. Monica went above & beyond trying to get my appt. rescheduled when there was a cancellation. Teanna the hygienist assistant was kind & helpful with explaining the modern tech the office has to offer. Crystal the hygienist is sweet & patient care oriented. Highly recommend!!
Crystal C. is so awesome. She explained in detail what I need to do to get back on track with my treatment plan… Thank you for your talent and expertise!!
First, let me say that I appreciate the design of this office. It’s super chic and glam! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I get extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist, but the assistants and hygienist were gentle and patient with me. My dentist was not Dr. Jarrett as she was fully booked but the other dentist was very friendly and helpful. I did, however, get botox injections from Dr. Jarrett, and she was amazing and quick with the procedure. I can’t wait to return. Can’t believe I said that about a dentist’s office.
Lovely and pleasant experience. Friendly and informative staff. Came in for a deep cleaning and filling and didn’t feel a thing. I definitely will be coming back!
Great experience. Very personable staff. Relatable, and when it was time to get down to work, they did…and in a competent fashion!
Very professional, thorough, and friendly office! I really like the hygiene and covid safety protocols, the friendly staff, the thorough cleaning, and the billing explanation. The staff (Monique), as well as Ginny, were very nice! This dentist’s office makes me have less trepidation about coming to the dentist. Thank you!
