There are numerous reasons why teeth may stain, and those reasons can
range from internal sources(intrinsic) or external courses (extrinsic).
Extrinsic stains such as coffee or tea stain the exterior of the teeth,
due to the pigment of the beverages staining the film of plaque on your
teeth. Due to the type of stain, ways to correct the stain may vary,
and it is beneficial to having your teeth cleaned prior to teeth
whitening.
Prevent Stained Teeth
Think of your teeth as having “pores”. Your teeth absorbs the food and drinks you consume. Avoid food and drinks that can stain your teeth, drink through a straw to minimize contact with your teeth, come in for frequent dental cleanings as well.

Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive treatment that can transform your smile.
Veneers video:
Veneers cover the front surface of a tooth. Veneers usually require at least two appointments to complete.
Dental crowns work similarly to veneers in that they cover stains, but they cover the entire tooth.
