I have Tetracycline stained teeth. Will I be able to get porcelain veneers to fix it?

Bethany H.- San Francisco

Bethany,

It is possible to do porcelain veneers with tetracycline teeth, but it is very tricky. You will need to go to an expert cosmetic dentist. There are several common errors with veneers for this kind of situation:

  • The dark stains show around the edges of the work.
  • The veneers aren’t opaque enough and the stains show through.
  • The veneers are too opaque and don’t look natural.

One way to find a dentist with enough training to avoid these errors, is to look for dentist recommended on mynewsmile.com. Dr. Hurley is a recommended dentist with them, and she had to submit her training credentials, along with samples of her work. Anyone on that site, should be able to handle your case.
