Can Veneers Be Whitened?

[DarceyK123]

I'm having a new veneer fitted next month as i broke mine in December.

I'm assuming my dentist will try to colour match it to my other front tooth but thats a bit dull.

What I'd really like is to have all the front ones whitened but always thought that veneers could not be whitened.

But i see celebs like Rylan and Stacey Solomon who have obvious veneers ambd their teeth seem to get whiter every time you see them.

Obviously i will have to ask my dentist but I'm not seeinv him till March, so does anyone have any ideas in the meantime?

If your teeth are whitened you will need your veneer changed to match as you can't whiten ceramics

You're correct when you say that veneers cannot be whitened.
However, if the ones that you have, have become discoloured or stained, it is possible for the dentist to remove any stains etc, but he can only restore them to their original colour; it's not possible to improve the degree of whiteness.

Rylan had all his veneered at the same time https://dentistry.co.uk/2016/01/22/rylan-clark-neal-my-biggest-mistake-was-my-teeth/

I bet Ryan never drinks red wine, tea or coffee and has his veneers professionally polished every couple of weeks
