My dentist is recommending crowns for my front teeth, but I am wondering if teeth whitening will help. If not, what are my options? &#8211; Beverly<\/p>\n<p>Beverly &#8211; It&#8217;s best to avoid having crowns placed on your teeth. There are two other ways to handle the tetracycline stains.<\/p>\n<p>Tetracycline is a powerful antibiotic that treats certain infections, and it can be life-saving. It can also treat acne. If tetracycline is taken while your teeth are still developing, it will deposit in your teeth and darken them. You&#8217;ll have gray or brown stains in your teeth. Sometimes the color of <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tetracycline-stains.html\">tetracycline stains<\/a> presents itself as horizontal bands on the teeth.<\/p>\n<p>One way to cover the stains is with <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a>. But porcelain veneers are quite thin, and to get beautiful results without the dark stains showing through requires the expertise of a cosmetic dentist. Perhaps that&#8217;s why your dentist wants to use crowns instead. You can get beautiful results from a cosmetic dentist who understands the techniques required to give the veneers the right color and translucency, and who works with an expert dental laboratory technician.<\/p>\n<p>The K\u00f6R Deep Bleaching System is a second way to treat the tetracycline stains. Many dentists say that <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a> will not budge tetracycline stains, but K\u00f6R deep bleaching has proven effective on these stains. See an example in the before-and-after photographs below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/teeth-whitening-tetracycline.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37 size-medium\" title=\"teeth-whitening-tetracycline\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/teeth-whitening-tetracycline-300x102.jpg\" alt=\"Before and after teeth whitening pictures with Kor Deep Bleaching.\" width=\"300\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/teeth-whitening-tetracycline-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/teeth-whitening-tetracycline-500x170.jpg 500w, https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/teeth-whitening-tetracycline.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This blog is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">New Orleans cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My teeth are stained by tetracycline.
