You can...: .. But it will do absolutely nothing to the color of the porcelain. See your dentist to replace it if you want it a lighter shade.

Yes you can: But the strips won't get it any lighter as porcelain is not porous like natural teeth. If you want to get your porcelain veneer lighter , you have to change it, see your dentist for options.

No: It will not change the existing color if you are not happy you need to replace veneer.

Definitely, no: You cannot whiten the veneers as the porcelain will not change color. If you want them whiter or different shade, you would need to have them replaced. Take care.
