Like other cosmetic dental issues, stained teeth can take a toll on your self-confidence. In some cases, they may even start to impact how you speak and smile. Fortunately, there are a variety of effective treatments that are safe and work quickly to whiten discoloration and fix stained teeth.

At Houghton Dental, we offer both in-office teeth whitening procedures and take-home whitening trays and gel. Both treatment options are safe, non-invasive, and comfortable. In just one office visit or a few weeks of consistently using our custom take-home trays, you can remove visible surface stains from your teeth and brighten your entire smile without causing sensitivity!

Most people have some degree of discoloration on their teeth, and it can stem from a number of factors. Some stains are intrinsic, meaning they result from internal factors within the body or tooth structure. Other stains are extrinsic, which are caused by external factors often related to lifestyle. Some of the most common reasons for stained teeth are:

Whether your stained teeth are caused by intrinsic or extrinsic factors (or a combination of both), we can work with you to provide treatment to remove stains and give you a whiter, brighter smile.

Our custom-made, take-home teeth whitening trays are a convenient and affordable alternative to in-office whitening treatments. They can also be used in conjunction with professional whitening, as a way to maintain your bright smile between visits! We offer FREE take-home whitening for life to our dedicated patients. Just take the custom trays and gel home with you and whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home! Learn more.

While teeth whitening treatments are a highly effective method to fix stained teeth, porcelain veneers may be the ideal treatment option for patients dealing with more than one cosmetic concern. Veneers are thin shells that can be placed over your natural teeth and can improve the appearance of stains and discoloration as well as crooked, rotated, cracked, or chipped teeth. They look just like your natural teeth and will leave you with a white, straight smile! Learn more.

Teeth bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the surface of damaged, discolored, or misaligned teeth. The resin is carefully sculpted and bonded to the teeth, providing a natural-looking restoration. Teeth bonding can effectively repair chips, cracks, and gaps, while also improving the appearance of stained or uneven teeth. It is a relatively quick and non-invasive procedure that can enhance the aesthetics of one's smile. Learn more.
