I had porcelain veneers but now I want bleaching
Q. Dear Sir I had white porcelain veneers put onto my front teeth for cosmetic reasons about 10 years ago when bleaching wasn’t a popular option or indeed more readily available as it is now. Am I now stuck with this option? Also if I stay with these veneers on the front teeth am I able to get all my other teeth bleached to improve the whole mouth? I have never had great colouration and the problem has caused me a lot of stress. The veeneers do break and I would have been much happier with improving the colour of my teeth without having to go to this extent. Thanks I welcome your thoughts.
A. Once you have had veneers replaced the only way of improving the veneers is to have them replaced with other veneers. Times have changed since you had your first set of veneers. The porcelain is very natural and the veneers bond to the teeth far more strongly. You certainly can have your other teeth bleached but the bleach will not affect the colour of veneers.
