Sandy,
\nFor tetracycline stains, Lumineers would not be the best choice, and here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tetracycline stains are very difficult to cover. The veneer needs to wrap around the tooth or else the result will be a \u201chalo\u201d effect because the teeth will look whiter in the middle and gray around the edges. That requires tooth preparation and Lumineers are considered \u201cno-prep.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Lumineers are not thick enough to adequately cover dark tetracycline stains. You\u2019ll either have teeth that look a very faded shade of gray or they will be a pasty, opaque white that will not look like natural teeth at all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
