Tooth discoloration often appears around old fillings because decay and micro-fractures in tooth structure can create darker tones. In such cases replacement of the filling or further restoration is recommended to stop the destructive process and eliminate pain.
If discoloration is caused by deposits on otherwise healthy teeth, professional cleaning is recommended. This is performed using ultrasonic instruments and, if necessary, air polishing, which removes deposits from the smooth tooth surface and results in a cleaner and healthier appearance. If even brighter teeth are desired, teeth whitening or prosthetic treatment may be recommended.
