Question

Hi; I have got two porcelain laminate veneers placed on my upper central incisors, what should i do if I want to get my teeth whitened? should those veneers be removed? and if yes, is it easy to remove them?

Scott Young, DDS · Answer

I would whtien your teeth first to obtain the desired color for your natural teeth.  If the front two veneers are noticeably a different color than your natural teeth, then replace them.  If not, leave them as is.  Good luck.

Your veneers likely won't match after whitening, but this is a simple fix.  Just be sure to get your teeth as white as you want, then veneer to match.

Mark J. Amidei, DDS · Answer

Whiten first then choose a color to match your natural teeth. Your veneers will not change.

Robert Fields, DDS · Answer

Hi Shatha...of course you can bleach your natural teeth and the bleaching process will have no effect on your veneers. If you are happy with the shade of your veneers, have the rest of your teeth bleached to match their color. The finished product should look beautiful!

Kevin Coughlin, DMD · Answer

No to the whitening first and review the result if not happy then remove veneers they are not difficult to remove buy you would then need new ones good luck
