Tobacco stains are not intrinsic.
External stains can be removed through dental scaling ans polishing. Else bleaching and tooth whitening can improve your stains

Teeth scaling and teeth whitening are two different treatments . They both will be needed in your case. But all patients are not suitable for the teeth whitening treatment. To know if it will work for you. Visit a dental clinic in your city for check up. Hope this helped.
