Can I re-use veneers if I have teeth whitened?

Q. Hello I have had veneers on my teeth since the age of 16. I am now 34. I believe they have ruined my life and confidence. I belive they have been the cause of bad breath. I would like to remove them and get my theeth bleached/whitened. Is this possible and can i have my originals again? Thank you for your time.,
A. Unfortunately this is not possible as the veneers need to be cut off and the teeth underneath are probably shaped to allow the veneers to be originally fitted. New veneers are much better than 20 years ago and having your originals replaced hopefully will give you your life back

Hi there. Can you tell me if it’s possible for dental veneers to be whitened/bleached?
