It\u2019s made of minerals such as calcium and phosphorous and is even harder than your bones, which is saying something! Unfortunately, your enamel is also porous, which makes is susceptible to discoloration and staining. But what exactly causes discoloration and are porcelain veneers in Naples a good solution? Keep reading to learn about the most common causes of staining and why there\u2019s hope for every patient \u2013 no matter how discolored their teeth are!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Enamel Discoloration?<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the most common causes of discoloration. Many of these types of stains are too severe to be corrected with simple whitening treatments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tooth Trauma<\/strong> \u2013 If a tooth is subjected to blunt-force trauma, the inner pulp where the nerve and blood supply can be damaged. Since the inner layer is responsible for the color of the outer layer of the tooth (the enamel), it can cause the tooth to turn a gray or dark yellow color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diet <\/strong>\u2013 Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and turmeric are just some of the dietary choices that can easily discolor the enamel over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fluorosis<\/strong> \u2013 Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens the enamel and prevents tooth decay. But, as with many things, too much of a good thing can actually be detrimental. For people who grew up near a water supply that had too much fluoride, their teeth may have developed enamel defects that give a severely stained or mottled appearance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoking <\/strong>\u2013 In some people, tobacco use causes severe staining, while other people only get mild or moderate yellowing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tetracycline in Childhood<\/strong> \u2013 If someone took the antibiotic tetracycline younger than age 8, they may have permanent, dark gray or yellow staining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What\u2019s the Best Way to Correct It?<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, many of these more severe types of enamel discoloration don\u2019t respond well to traditional teeth whitening procedures. That\u2019s where porcelain veneers come in!<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain veneers are thin, strong \u201cshells\u201d that are permanently adhered to the front of the teeth, giving them a whole new appearance. With basic care and maintenance, they\u2019ll continue looking and feeling great for many years.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide this procedure is for you, you\u2019ll work closely with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriadentistry.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">dentist in Naples<\/a> from the very beginning to determine how you want your new smile to look.<\/p>\n<p>The shape and color are completely customizable, so you truly can use porcelain veneers to give your smile a completely new appearance, regardless of what type of staining you have!<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriadentistry.com\/meet-dr-gery-benza.html\">Dr. Gery Benza<\/a> is a general and cosmetic dentist in Naples with a passion for transforming smiles.
