Default Some discolured teeth

Unfortunetley, I was punched in the mouth a few years ago and lost the nerves in two of my front teeth. They are now visibly darker than the others. Will teeth whitening work on teeth with no nerve? Or do I need veneers? I am a 25 year old female, and I'm guessing they will only get worse if I leave them. My other teeth could use some whitening also, is it possible to give me an even white smile back?
What are my options?

Its difficult to say and it very much depends on how dark is dark. Whitening may help but is unlikely to give you your smile back. You may need to whiten the rest of your teeth first and then have either veneers or crowns placed to get them looking right

Hope this helps
