Can porcelain veneers be whitened? just had porcelain veneers put on......2 weeks ago....i wish they were whiter.....

Porcelain : Porcelain is not a material that responds to chemical whitening. If they are not white enough they would need to be remade.

It : It is unfortunate. As my colleagues explained, the only thing you can do is re-make them. Please talk to your dentist and express your concern.

As : As answered before by dr.Jonathan scharf no bleaching or whitening material can change or alter the preconceived color of a porcelain veneer or crown. If you feel uncomfortable with your existing veneers you should discuss it with your dentist and you can ask him the fee to re-make a second set of veneers with a whiter tone, the fact that the placement was so recent i'm sure he still has the model, he would just need to send it back to the lab to fabricate a new set of veneers. Good luck!

No: Once on. No color change can be done. Some have tried to bleach from behind, but usually tooth is too thick, too dark, or bonding agent too colored. Only solution is to redo them -- a formidable and costly task.

No.: I am sorry you already are wishing they were whiter. That is a shame. To make them whiter they would need to be redone. Redoing the veneers takes just as much effort as the first time, perhaps more of an effort. I am sorry to tell you.

Not : Once porcelain veneer are cemented they need to be replaced.
