In extremely discolored teeth, it is highly recommended to use a combination of the above methods.

In endodontically treated anterior teeth, discoloration (graying) is often observed. In this case, the dentist applies either internal bleaching or a combination of internal and other methods to achieve a more aesthetically acceptable result.
Veneers:
Made of either all-ceramic or resin, they are dental “coverings” of the front surface of a tooth that improve the aesthetics of the smile.
