During pregnancy, women should avoid tetracycline, a strong prescribed antibiotic. The harmful effects can be transposed on the future teeth of the newborn. The general symptoms of those dental malformations are gray and black discolorations on the surface of the child’s future teeth. A simple antibiotic substitution will avoid this malformation; speak to your doctor.

Fortunately, for those affected by the side effects of tetracycline, there are many simple therapies available. Generally, only two visits at the doctor’s office will cure the smiles affected by tetracycline. These latest technological treatments are painless and can rapidly solve these problems.

Bleaching the teeth with clinical enhanced gel can be a solution.  However, the most effective way to get rid of the marble-gray smile is with porcelain veneers.

Now, with LUMINEERS, porcelain veneers is as thin as a contact lens, and the whole procedure can be done even without any alteration of the natural teeth. In those cases, a thin layer of porcelain will cover the teeth and change your smile forever. Contact us for a consultation today!
