- Ask your dentist about bleaching. It may be appropriate for you if the
- stains are not too dark.
-
- I have severely discolored teeth due to taking Tetracycline as a child.
- My dentist told me bleaching wouldn't help in my case, so I eventually
- had bonding done on 6 upper teeth. I got estimates from several dentists
- ranging from $40/tooth to $180/tooth! Since insurance doesn't cover this
- I chose the $40/tooth dentist. I am thrilled with the results.
