<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to get a smile makeover. I asked my dentist about porcelain veneers and he said because my top teeth cover my bottom teeth I’m not a good candidate. Instead, he suggested I have crowns placed on my six front teeth. My teeth have some dark stains because of tetracycline too. Does this mean after the crowns are done, I’d whiten the bottom teeth to match?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Lisa,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I want to caution you not to do dental crowns for your smile makeover. I think I know what is going on here. It sounds like your dentist isn’t as comfortable with designing and placing porcelain veneers<\/a> than he is with dental crowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He doesn’t want to tell you this and cause you to think less of him as a practitioner, so instead he suggests the procedure he feels he does better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blaming your bite is creative but not valid. Even thinking about it logically, porcelain veneers would be a better<\/em> fit for your bite. Porcelain crowns surround your entire tooth, but porcelain veneers only are bonded to the front. They would actually be less intrusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of all of that, with dental crowns, your teeth have to be ground down to nubs. Because of that, you can never have anything but crowns on those teeth for the remainder of your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is another hint to me that your dentist isn’t an advanced cosmetic dentist. He’s suggesting six teeth be treated. Unless you have a narrow smile, that won’t be enough. Most people show between eight to twelve teeth when they smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding an Advanced Cosmetic Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your particular case is particularly challenging and requires a top-notch cosmetic dentist. Tetracycline stains are quite tricky to get right. You need the teeth to have the look of natural translucency, but at the same time still be opaque enough to cover the deep stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only the top 2% of dentists can do this well. In your place, I’d look for a dentist who has been accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. They have both the technical skill and artistry to give you a stunning smile, even with tetracycline stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the teeth whitening <\/a>you mentioned. Yes, you would whiten the remaining teeth which don’t get veneered. However, you want to do the teeth whitening first. When you get them to the level of whitening you want, it will be time to get your porcelain veneers. The K\u00f6R\u00a0 Teeth Whitening System has been the most effective in whitening tetracycline stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
