Using whitening products on veneers is simply not effective. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and therefore the shade of your veneers will not change. If your porcelain veneers are thin and the underlying tooth structure is yellow, you could be seeing the yellow show through. Another possibility is that you have a build upo of tarter on your veneers. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with your dentist to have your teeth cleaned and examined. You will be able to discuss your diet and hygiene with him/her and double check the shade of your teeth. I hope this helps.

Sometimes that yellow stain is intentionally placed on the veneer to give a more natural look to the veneer. Depending on how that stain was applied, it could be polished away. If this is something new, there are polishing devices that we use that could remove this yellow discoloration. It's important to keep the veneers nicely polished to keep plaque away from them.
It is possible that the lab technician made the veneers look real and blended shades so they don't look fake. Sometimes it is layers of porcelain and not stain, so it may be impossible to polish off. Even if possible, it likely would remove the gloss and shine, maybe even texture, and the result will not be pleasant. It is likely that the only solution is to replace, but sometimes the replacement is not better than the original.
Schedule an appointment with a dentist for a consultation. An xray could be taken to give you the final prognosis of that tooth. If it is sound you can do a veneer. If not, you would be looking at doing an implant. Best of luck.
Porcelain veneers could possibly fix your underbite, but it would likely take at least 20 veneers to do this. I would recommend going in for a consultation. Be sure to review the before and after photos of the dentist you select, so that you'll have a great idea of how your teeth will look i...
You have two options:Option #1: Get veneers without a gum graft. Your teeth will appear a tad bit longer at the top, but if you do not have a very gummy smile, then it will not matter much. I think veneers alone may work great in you case. Option #2: You could get a gum graft, then venee...
