Will using a home whitening kit when wearing veneers loosen them?

Q.
Dear Mr Patel, I have six porcelein veneers fitted four on top centre and two lower centre. When whitening with home kit could this potentially loosen my porcelein veneers. The reason I ask it may be purely co-incidental but recently I have had two of them fall out within a month of each other they were fitted in 2000. I am considering having crowns fitted the next time one of my veneers breaks or falls out would it be a more benefical way in the long term I was advised if I keep getting my veneers replaced my original tooth with shorten and I may eventually end up with not having enough tooth for the veneer to stick onto. I would very much appreciate your thoughts on both my concerns. Kindest regards, 
A.
You should not be whitening the teeth with veneers unless you are doing from the back of the teteh with a very specially constructed whitening tray, you are more than welocme to come and see me to discuss your options.
