Some discolouration cannot be fixed by whitening — veneers provide a permanent solution for stubborn staining near Whitton. From £850 per tooth.
Not all tooth discolouration responds to whitening. Intrinsic staining — caused by tetracycline antibiotics, fluorosis, trauma or naturally grey or brown enamel — sits within the tooth structure and cannot be bleached away. Veneers cover the discolouration permanently, giving you a uniform, bright smile.
Tetracycline staining (grey or brown banding from antibiotic use during tooth development), fluorosis (white or brown spots from excess fluoride during development), trauma-related discolouration (a single tooth that has darkened following an injury), naturally dark or yellow enamel that does not respond adequately to whitening, and discolouration from old metal restorations showing through the enamel.
Heavily discoloured teeth require an opaque layer in the veneer to block the colour from showing through. This may require slightly more material and preparation than a standard veneer. Your dentist will discuss the specific approach for your case.
If your discolouration is mild or extrinsic (surface staining), professional whitening should always be tried first. Veneers can then be matched to your whitened shade for the best possible result. For intrinsic staining that does not respond to whitening, veneers are the definitive solution.
