Contact UsWhat Are Stained Teeth?
Tooth discoloration is a common dental issue caused by various factors. While some may associate stained teeth with poor oral hygiene, the truth is even individuals with good oral habits can experience discoloration. Factors such as smoking, aging, genetics, and certain medications can contribute to discolored teeth. If you're dealing with stained teeth, reach out to Urgent Family Dentistry. Lifestyle changes or professional teeth whitening treatments may greatly improve the appearance of your smile. Our Plano, TX dental professionals can identify the cause of your tooth discoloration and create a personalized whitening plan for optimal results.
How Are Stained Teeth Treated?
There are several options available to improve tooth discoloration. The most popular methods include teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and dental crowns. Teeth whitening involves using a bleaching agent to remove surface discoloration, either in-office or with take-home kits. Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored material to cover yellowing or darkening on the teeth. Veneers are custom coverings applied to the front of the teeth to enhance their appearance. Dental crowns, on the other hand, are caps placed over the entire tooth to improve its appearance and provide protection against further damage.
Urgent Family Dentistry Reviews
Best service around. I was having an issue with a tooth that needed an immediate root canal. Urgent Family Dental made sure to go above and beyond to fix my problem! Thanks again.
Would absolutely recommend Dr. Hamdan and his great team at Urgent Family Dentistry! My boyfriend had a root canal abscess that seemingly popped up over the course of two days. It was a Saturday night and we felt pressed for time given the potential severity. I called Urgent Family Dentistry as soon as they opened on Sunday and was given a same-day appointment on the spot. We arrived at 12:50 for a 1pm appointment, filled out the paperwork, got in the chair within 5 minutes, and we were out the door within 15 after that. The young man that helped get his x-rays done was so kind and made my boyfriend, who is usually quite anxious about dental work, feel very comfortable. Dr. Hamdan was very kind and welcoming, and providing a detailed referral to an excellent and highly-rated endodontist immediately upon seeing my boyfriend’s tooth. The staff were all kind and patient, and Dr. Hamdan in particular is very gifted at what he does and was very thorough both with the examination and with helping his staff. We hope we will not run into a dental emergency again, but if we do, we will surely come here to see Dr. Hamdan and his staff again. Thanks y’all <3
Dr. Oveida was wonderful. I have a fear of dentists and she put me at ease. She was very gentle and kind. She explained everything she was doing step by step as to not surprise me. She didn't try to pressure me into other procedures. No scare tactics. I felt no post op pain. Her assistant was funny trying to minimize my fear. I received a phone call the following day to make sure I was OK. The cost was very reasonable unlike another dental practice named after the 3rd US president. Thank you again Dr. Oveida and Urgent Family Denistry.
Knowledgeable, Kind, & Compassionate Dentist - Dr. Hamdan is an excellent dentist. He is knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. His entire office staff explained, in detail, what services were being provided. Everyone was very welcoming and kind - from the front staff to the dental assistant throughout my treatment. Dr. Hamdan was able to see me quickly. I went in with an acute issue, which was promptly treated. He took his time, ensuring that the dental work performed was of the highest quality. Upon completion, he performed additional x-rays to confirm that everything looked as it should. I would highly recommend Dr. Hamdan and his practice.
I went several years ago, my husband needed his wisdom teeth extracted urgently, and despite having issues with my dental insurance and a bit of back and forth, everything was taken care of. Dr. Hamdan was honest, did not feel like he was trying to up-sell or up-charge us, and took care of my husbands teeth.His personality is a little quirky, I'll admit. But he didn't make us feel uncomfortable or inappropriate. He mentioned other things that need to get taken care of while checking his teeth. For the first time in a long time though, a Dr. did not feel like a sales shark.It was a little nerve wracking watching his teeth get extracted as sometimes a lot of force seemed to be needed, but he took care of my husband. We had no issues with recovery afterwards. He was very efficient and quick as well. I didn't feel like we spent hours just waiting around. We were taken care of promptly, on a Saturday/Sunday morning as a walk-in.They also called to check on us the day after, which I felt was pretty personal and appreciated.
