That doesn&#8217;t mean all is lost.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from this smile makeover that Dr. Deluane did on a patient, there is a way to obtain a  beautiful smile after tetracycline stains.  Here Dr. Delaune used <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\">porcelain veneers<\/a>. This enabled him not only to cover her stains, but to reshape her teeth to add length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want you to think you can just run to your family dentist and get porcelain veneers and all will be beautiful and shiny. These are among the most difficult <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cosmetic dentistry (opens in a new tab)\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a> cases to do. It would take a dentist with advanced cosmetic training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difficulty comes in needing to make the porcelain veneers opaque enough to cover the dark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebmconsult.com\/articles\/tetracycline-stains-teeth-mechanism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"tetracycline stains (opens in a new tab)\">tetracycline stains<\/a>, yet translucent enough to have their natural shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding an Expert Cosmetic Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m going to suggest you go to the mynewsmile.com website. A cosmetic dentist cannot just pay to be listed. They have to prove their cosmetic education as well as provide case samples to show they can get beautiful results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while everyone listed on that site is an expert cosmetic dentist, tetracycline cases are a beast of their own. I&#8217;d like you to go one step further and ask to see specific before and after pictures of cases they&#8217;ve done dealing with tetracycline. You want to be certain they&#8217;re able to get the beautiful results you&#8217;re dreaming of. Then, you will have a smile you are delighted to share with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">New Orleans Cosmetic Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had tetracycline-stained teeth since I was a child.
