Before Treatment
Scott suffered from tetracycline stained teeth due to antibiotic use as a child. He desired to correct the discolored teeth and fabricate crowns on his lateral incisors where the form and contour blended better with his adjacent teeth. he wanted to minimize his current expense and future maintenance by having minimally invasive treatment. This requires a master technician.

After Treatment
Bleaching tetracycline stained teeth is commonly thought to be impossible. However, it has been reported by the University of North Carolina that prolonged bleaching can improve tetracycline stained teeth. Scott bleached his teeth for 8 months, and Dr. Vence simply restored his smile with two veneers on the central incisorsand two porcelain fused to metal crowns on the lateral incisors.
