Yellow Enamel. I Have Done the Tray Thing That Doctor Sold?

It sounds as though the bleaching trays did not work well for you.  I would consider doing Zoom Whitening as an alternative.  The results are typically much better than bleaching trays alone.  This procedure is performed in the dental office and takes between 90-120 minutes. Hope this helps.   

The KoR Whitening system has provided the best results for my patients. It  works by restoring your teeth's ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the teeth, dissolbving stain molecules. It's reliable & effective.

There are different products and different procedures for teeth whitening. If the take home trays did not work for you, your dentist should give you alternatives. Some teeth are harder than others to bring up to a nice white shade. We use Kor Whitening,  which we have had  great results from on all of our patients.  It involves in office whitening which you follow up with take home trays and sometimes, another in office whitening to achieve the desired results.  Talk to you dentist and see what other products and procedures he uses that will bring them up to the shade you desire! 

In-office whitening can be more effective than the trays you have already tried. You may be able to get better results, however with whitening there is no way of know how white your teeth are capable of getting.

Without photos difficult to say... I suggest try another bleaching product or consider in office whitening bonding over yellow enamel usually doesn't look good... You can try a snap on smile and go from their good luck

Teeth whitening (bleaching) will only go so far on certain teeth. There is no way to predict how white the teeth will end up. However, in-office bleaching, such as ZOOM, usually results in whiter teeth than take home trays.
 

Bonding or veneers can be done without prepping (removing enamel) the teeth but that does add some bulk.  You can also have the dentist increase the % of the bleaching solution.  Sometimes etching the teeth before bleaching will give better results.

Assuming the trays still fit well, ask the dentist about stronger bleaching gell.  If that is not an option, the most conservative way is veneers.
