Hello,
Try going for cleaning and teeth whitening first.
If you are still not happy you can go composite bonding.
But, if you have any overbite(if your upper teeth cover more than one third of your lower teeth while biting ) it may not be a good option. Kindly provide images for more guidance
Health Tips
if you do go for composite bonding, maintain good oral hygiene and yearly follow ups/ polishing for maintenance

Hello! Understanding the nature of the discoloration is key. If the stains are superficial, a simple teeth whitening/bleaching procedure might be highly effective.
If the discoloration is deeper, a technique like composite bonding could be an excellent, minimally invasive option. Depending on the condition, we often perform this with minimum or even no tooth preparation, which addresses your concern about erosion.
Ultimately, a direct clinical examination is the best way to determine the most precise and safest treatment plan for you. Thank you
