Stained Teeth, Tetracycline Teeth



Some teeth contain heavy internal stains that are either hereditary or caused by certain medications that were given during tooth development. The most common stains of this kind are the ones caused by Tetracyclin.

This patient had heavily worn and discolored teeth with large unsightly fillings. He requested to have his smile rejuvenated.

  Teeth were rebuilt to intact incisal edges and proper anatomical features. Proportions, forms, and balance were reestablished.

Examples of Tetracycline-stained teeth:

This patient came from Singapour for the treatment of her Tetracycline-stained teeth. She had already received some dental bonding in her country; obviously with only limited success. She received 10 upper veneers as seen on the picture on the right. One year later she decided to also cover her lower 10 front teeth with porcelain.
