I am increasingly self-conscious about tetracycline stains on my teeth. It is embarrassing to try to explain it to people who seem distracted by my teeth and unable to concentrate on our conversation. Last month, I had a consultation with a cosmetic dentist who recommended porcelain veneers. The cost of $20,000 – $30,000 would heavily impact my savings. My teeth and self-esteem are worth it, but I am interested in knowing whether I have other options. \u2013 Thank you. Aaron from Georgia<\/p>\n

Concealing tetracycline stains with porcelain veneers takes advanced training, skill, and artistry from a cosmetic dentist. If you find a dentist with low fees who claims to be able to hide the stains, you can count on getting inferior results. The stains may show through the veneers, or the veneers may look opaque or pasty, making it evident that you had dental work. But an advanced cosmetic dentist and adept ceramist can produce incredible results with veneers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will Bonding or Teeth Whitening Help Tetracycline Stains?<\/h2>\n

Whether dental bonding or teeth whitening will help tetracycline stains depends on the severity of stains and a dentist\u2019s skill and experience.<\/p>\n
