There are many treatments available for tooth discolouration
You will have to visit the dentist to evaluate of how much extent it is and whether they are since birth or due to any external factor like tea coffee etc..
Other than Veneers there are treatments like bleaching of teeth , direct tooth coloured fillings called as composite material and capping of teeth too
All this can be decided after knowing what kind of stains are they
So it would be good to consult and ask your dentist for these options
