Can a discoloured tooth be whitened or a new veneer is required?

Q. Hi There, I have a veneer for my front tooth but not for the others and its gone slightly discoloured would I need a new veneer or could I just get whitening also I really want a white gold window as one of my teeth is slight chipped I dont want a full tooth just the outline one can you help at all?

A. You may be able to bleach the tooth but it is probable that a new veneer will be needed – you need to visit your dentist to check that the tooth is not  infected
