Tetracycline pigmentation teeth is an issue more commonly faced by those who were born in 1960s and 1970s. Yet its symptom varies from person to person, depending on the severity of their specific condition. Hence, it’s necessary to seek proper treatment for it in line with your personal case. Here are some approaches available to deal with tetracycline pigmentation teeth.

    1.Laser bleaching

    It serves to well cope with mild cases, and also works to some extent on moderate tetracycline pigmentation teeth without defects. Bleaches will be applied under exposure to laser, helping to restore the natural color of teeth. Requiring a shorter period of time to complete, the procedure is quite harmless and can be conducted repeatedly.

    2.Dental veneers

    Since laser bleaching is expected to restore teeth color but not its shape, it’s dental veneers that should be sought for tetracycline pigmentation teeth with small defects. Dental veneers refer to tooth-shaped thin shells designed to cover teeth surface, after removing a layer of tooth enamel. It aims at improving the teeth color as well as its shape.  

    3.Porcelain crown

    Mixed with no metal, all-porcelain crown is a satisfactory choice to handle severe cases of tetracycline pigmentation teeth due to its good optical transparency. Though it’s set to yield a nice result, it demands to abrade some part of enamel for better holding the crown in place.
