Tetracycline Tooth Stains
Tetracycline and other dark stains are problems that have negative impacts on people's lives.People with teeth darkened by tetracycline will find ways to cover their mouth with almost anything to keep from having to smile in public. Laser Treatment for Tetracycline Stains
Tetracycline is an antibiotic that is used by doctors for killing bacteria. Although a good product, it also has a property that is not so good.Bone and teeth that are being developed when the antibiotic is being given becomes darkened. This happens in varying degrees with people. Years ago, it was common to use different composite materials to cover up the effects of tetracycline and other types of dark stains. Over the years however, we have acquired newer and different approaches to help patients with this type of stain problem. The whitening processes that we have available now can, in many instances, allow us to change the color of teeth without having to do any restorations at all. The different whitening processes are helpful with these types of cases. OpusDent Laser Teeth WhiteningWe provide treatments including Professional Crest White Strips, Discus Weekender (overnight bleach systems), Zoom teeth whitening products and Laser Teeth Whitening with the OpusDent Diode Laser.With common dark stains such as those caused by excessive coffee or tea drinking, the problem with these systems is that most patients do not stop doing what caused the problem. Anything that you put into your mouth that will stain a tee shirt will also stain your teeth. So many times patients come back to us and ask for a boost from time to time. In many cases the overnight tray systems seem to do a good job with helping patients to maintain the color they desire for their teeth. Beyond Laser Teeth WhiteningBut for those patients with severe staining, including tetracycline stains, the bleaching processes have very minimal results unless you stay with the bleaching for a long long time... like months. And then you still may not get the result you are really looking for. Most people do not have the persistence to stay with these systems long enough to get the desired changes.
In the past the crowns that we have used for these problem stains had to be crowns that would not allow the stain to show through.So we could not use any of the all porcelain crowns which look the best. We certainly could not use porcelain veneers. Captec Crowns as a solution
Today with the advancement of dental technology we are able to use Captec crowns which can block out the underlying stain. We also have the advantages of an all porcelain restoration.These are vast improvements over the past techniques. Captec crowns were the restorations that we used for this patient to give us the result that we had to have in this case....
