Here are some common ways available. 

    Dental cleaning, majorly referring to sandblasting or combination of ultrasonic cleaning and sandblasting, serves to remove pigments and dental calculus attached to teeth surface and even teeth gaps. Following the procedure, the teeth are supposed to appear whiter.

    In severe cases, you can further seek laser bleaching, in which bleaches will be applied under exposure to laser, helping to restore the natural color of teeth.
