I have some stains on my dental crowns. Do you think it could be because I smoke? Is there anything I can do about them?

Jennie,
Smoking does cause staining on your teeth, so it is very possible this is where your stains are originating. There are two ways to combat this. I recommend doing both. First, your dentist can remove the stains on your dental crowns using a porcelain polish with a superfine diamond grit. Then, to help with new surface stains you could use a cosmetic toothpaste such as Supersmile on a daily basis.
