Megan,
Maybe two out of every hundred dentists in the United States are good at appearance-related dentistry. When you go into some of these foreign contries, it’s much much tougher to find good cosmetic dentists.
We have a handful of world-renowned cosmetic dentists in Denmark, in Dubai, in Melbourne, in a couple of places in India, and in southern Brazil. With these other countries, I think you’re just going to have to lower your expectations somewhat. But at the same time, I urge you to be very careful, because covering tetracycline stain is very difficult. Ask the dentist to show you pictures of a tetracycline case he or she has treated before to see if they have experience at this.
Here are two dentists in Indonesia who are members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, meaning they travel to the United States for training at these AACD annual meetings. This is at least an indication that they have been exposed to advanced cosmetic techniques and are interested in becoming skillsful cosmetic dentists. I would ask lots of questions and ask to see photographs of their work and ask to talk to previous patients, because of the uncertainty involved. But here are their names.
I have no knowledge of these dentists or their work, but these are two dentists who have been general members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry:

That is where I would start. I make no promises about what kind of work they do. I only state that your chances are better going to one of these two than going to just anybody.
