I'm sorry but...: There are no ways to whiten tetracycline stained teeth other that porcelain veneers, crowns or intensive whitening procedures. You can try crest whitestrips if available. That may offer some benefit.

Internal Stain: Tetracycline discoloration is not a surface problem, but an actual color change of the actual tooth structure. Professional strength whitening products may provide positive results, but porcelain laminates may be indicated. Ask your local dentist during your consultation visit.. You can discuss financing at that time, since you mentioned financial concerns.

Deep Bleaching: This in office system even whitens tetracycline-stained teeth, previously thought to be impossible! It is is the most predictable, inexpensive and effective technique. Find a cosmetic dentist near you.
