I would suggest Simply White toothpaste and use the whitening mouth rinse (I use the generic walmart instead of listerine). This was able to get years of nicotine and coffee off. They aren't perfect but there not too bad. If this doesn't work for you after a month or two, talk to your regular dentist or hygenist and see what he thinks. Depending on how straight your teeth are, he may recommend whitening strips or even a chemical procedure done in a clinic. He'll now what would work best with what you got and a lot of the time reps will drop of free stuff to him so he may even have some boxes of things to get you started.
