What causes teeth to stain or discolor?
Professional evaluation at Alpha Dental Excellence in Langhorne, PA allows the dentist to identify the exact cause of discoloration and recommend a whitening treatment that effectively addresses surface and deeper stains.
Understanding the cause also sets realistic expectations for your results.
What teeth whitening options does Alpha Dental Excellence offer?
In-office whitening delivers visible improvement immediately, often in a single session lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Patel recommends the option that fits your goals, timeline, and enamel health. If a stained tooth turns out to be a cracked or failing restoration rather than surface staining, our general dentistry team handles the repair first.
