my gums have started to receed and my teeth are discoloured

Q. Hi I had veneers fitted to my front 4 top teeth 20 years ago the gums have now receeded and the original teeth at the top are now very discoloured. All my teeth are discoloured due to lots of medication as a child and my lower gums are also receeding. I would like to know what would be the best treatment to have all my teeth treated to look white as am very self consious of them in the present state Thanks

A. You probably have 2 options – either have beaching and 4 new veneers or have all the teeth visible in your smile venered.  This second option may be the best option if your teeth are very discoloured or possibly belaching followed by veneers on all visible teeth.
