To help answer some of your questions, we have listed and described the most common causes of tooth stains and tooth discoloration. Once we can understand what causes teeth to become discolored, we can reduce the amount of discoloration, as well as prevent staining.

Oral hygiene – A lack of brushing and flossing – at least twice each day – can lead to a plaque build up on the teeth and under the gum tissue, which then hardens into tartar, giving the teeth a yellowish appearance.
Tooth enamel is porous, which means substances such as food, liquid, and tobacco, which left on the teeth too long, begin to sink into the inner layers of the teeth causing stains and discoloration.
A good oral hygiene routine not only reduces the risk of tooth decay and other dental problems, but it also reduces the number of foreign substances that can be absorbed into the enamel.

It is very likely that your local dental office might employ laser bleaching to help you to get to your desired result.
The laser whitening system acts in a similar way to sandblasting; the laser excites a chemical compound that is placed on the teeth, and whitens the teeth with light or argon gas. The procedure generally takes about an hour and produces instant results however; this is likely to be the more costly method.
