What Causes Teeth To Become Yellow Or Dark?

There can be many reasons why teeth change from their very white color when young to yellow, dark and discolored. Aging is one. Teeth just naturally begin to lose their white color and luster as the years go by because the enamel thins and becomes more transparent. Dentin is the layer of tooth material underneath the enamel, which is naturally darker colored. This darker color begins to show through more as the enamel wears down.

Other factors that can cause teeth to change color are:

  • Coffee, tea, colas, dark berries and red wine
  • Tobacco products
  • Genetics
  • Certain medications, such as tetracycline
  • Prior dental work
    (i.e. root canal problems)
  • Fluoride in large amounts
  • Certain developmental disorders
  • Trauma to a tooth or teeth.

Real Patient Reviews

I had been wanting to find a holistic dentist for quite a while, so I did a bit of research and found Dr. Chow. I don’t usually like going to the dentist, but today changed that. Dr. Chow and his entire team are outstanding. His office is beautiful, clean, and the ambiance is calm and relaxing. My appointment was scheduled at 7:30 a.m., and I was escorted back to the dental chair at 7:29 a.m. They were kind enough to provide me with an early appointment so I could get to work on time. I had full X-rays and a cleaning by their amazing hygienist, who took her time explaining exactly what she was doing and what she was seeing throughout the procedure. She was pleasant to interact with and even massaged my gums as part of the cleaning. Dr. Chow then completed an extensive dental exam. He was extremely thorough and attentive to my concerns. He discovered four cavities that a previous dentist had missed. We also decided to perform a CT scan to ensure there was no hidden oral disease where previous root canals had been performed. I’m thrilled that I found Dr. Chow and his incredible team. I can’t wait for my daughters to see him as well. If you’re looking for an outstanding dentist who goes above and beyond in every way, Dr. Chow is your guy.

I was able to get squeezed in for a very challenging emergency tooth extraction due to a horrible infection. The entire staff was personable, and Dr. Chow took his time caring for my tooth. I was really sick from the infection, and I’m grateful for the care I received.

Dr. Chow is a true craftsman in his profession, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He deserves all the five-star reviews posted about him. For 12 years, I suffered from infections affecting my sinuses and stomach and could not permanently heal them. Finally, a dentist discovered I had an infected cavitation in my lower left jaw that had gone undetected for more than 30 years. I had one opportunity to fix this issue and selected Dr. Chow because he was one of the few dentists with the expertise to properly address my condition. I also felt his fees were reasonable for the level of care required. It took about nine weeks after surgery for my body to adjust to not being sick all the time. Since then, I’ve experienced a dramatic resurgence in health that I had not felt in years. At 70 years old, I’m back in the gym three times a week, practicing yoga at home, and enjoying full productive days again. I truly feel like I have my life back. My wife, employees, and seven grandchildren thank you as well. Fantastic job by Dr. Chow.

After more than 20 years of struggling with chronic illness, I was led down a path that ultimately brought me to Dr. Chow. I decided to remove four root canals and all remaining metal fillings that were contributing to severe health concerns for me. What initially felt like a desperate last effort has turned into a journey of healing and hope. I have undergone two six-hour surgeries with Dr. Chow, with more treatment still ahead, and I have never felt more safe or cared for by a medical professional. The staff feels like family — warm, familiar faces that make me feel genuinely seen and supported. Dr. Chow’s passion for holistic medicine brings a unique perspective to treatment. He understands the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. Following my procedures, he has continued supportive care with ozone therapy to help address lingering infections and inflammation. His care has played a major role in my recovery and renewed sense of hope. Choosing Dr. Chow was one of the best healthcare decisions I’ve ever made.

Kör Whitening System

One of the best professional whitening systems today is KöR Whitening. The bleaching agent is superior in how deeply it is absorbed into the tooth. It enhances the tooth's ability to take in oxygen, which is what whitens the teeth. It's particularly effective for hard-to-remove stains, such as those caused by tetracycline (an antibiotic).

KöR is safe for teeth and gums, and you won't have to stop enjoying your tea, coffee or wine! KöR is also excellent in causing low to no sensitivity. There may be some discomfort for some people, but KöR's patented formula makes it possible for people with extremely sensitive teeth to benefit from teeth whitening in Thousand Oaks comfortably.

White and Yellow Orchid

Whitening Procedure

Dr. Chow will take an impression of your teeth so that custom trays can be made. These tailored trays seal completely to make sure that saliva does not seep into them during the whitening process, as saliva will degrade whitening gel. The whitening gel is also kept refrigerated immediately after it's manufactured as well as during shipment to Dr. Chow's office. This maintains the integrity of the gel's potency. You will then wear your gel-filled trays at home during sleep for two weeks. After that, one or two office visits will put the finishing touch on your whitening procedure.

Dr. Chow will then instruct you on a once-a-month, easy maintenance program, which will keep your radiant smile permanent! You won't have to worry that your teeth will look unnaturally white. In fact, they will be naturally white, just as your real teeth would look if they had never become discolored. Your teeth will remain white for your lifetime if you perform regular maintenance after your initial treatment. You can be confident that the level of whitening you experience will be many shades whiter, giving you a brilliant smile.
