Removing staining from my teeth

I'm so proud of myself for finally quitting smoking. I am feeling so much better and I love the way that my body is recovering from those years of cigarettes. The only thing that isn't naturally improving is my teeth which still have some dull yellow staining. That's why I have been talking to my dentist and comparing some options for teeth whitening.
