Can teeth that are naturally very yellow be whitened? If so, what is the best, long lasting way to whiten my teeth? (Photo)

Question

I only see information about staining either by coffee, tea, etc.... I've had very yellow teeth all of my life and have never stained my teeth with these liquids.

There is still not a perfect answer for whitening teeth but Kor Deep Bleaching can have amazing results!  The process takes time and some investment but well worth it!  It is a great conservative choice because other options alter your teeth.  Unless you have a lot of old fillings, find a dentist who does this type of whitening!  Good luck.

Your teeth may be able to be improved by whitening, but don't expect the same results that you would get from getting veneers. A brand called KOR whitening has been shown to work best on tougher discoloration. If you truly want a white smile that you can choose the color of, you will need to consider veneers.

Conventional whiten with a custom tray and Bleaching gel is the best way to whiten, and yes it does work on naturally yellow teeth,  though how well one whitens is unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed.I noticed on your photos some white spots.  Your whitening may not be uniform and may at first accentuate the white spots.  This will reblend a few days after you finish whitening, but you will always have the hypocalcified areas(white spots).  Covering them with a restorative material such as porcelain veneers would be a good option if you are not happy with the end result

There are many systems to bleach teeth, and you will never know how many shades whiter they can reach , until you do it, it seems that they are very yellow , i think you should try at least 2 systems, if the result is now what you expect, then veneers can give you what you are looking for, really white beautiful teeth.they can be done in just 2 visits to the office.
