  Paint on a teeth whitening gel. These gels come in a small bottle with a small brush. You paint the whitening gel on each individual tooth and keep it on for the prescribed amount of time.

  See a cosmetic dentist. Dentists have various methods for whitening teeth, some of which are applied to one tooth at a time. While getting your teeth whitened at the dentist office is expensive, you get the most dramatic results, sometimes in about one hour. If the bonded tooth does not respond to other methods of stain removal, a cosmetic dentist will certainly have a solution.
