A member asked:
Can teeth whitening used with hydrogen peroxide damage a veneer?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Generally not: A veneer is generally made of porcelain and as long there is not leakage points around the veneer, there is not usually a problem. When peroxide oxidizes, it gives up 1 oxygen and becomes plane pure water.

No: Veneers are typically made from a variety of ceramics or composites. Tooth whitening ingredients like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide will not damage a veneer. Be aware though, the whitening gel will have little or no whitening effect on the veneers themselves. If you have both natural teeth and veneered teeth in your smile only the natural teeth will whiten.

No: The chemicals used in whitening or bleaching products do not damage the porcelain veneer or crown. However, they won't whiten them either, so don't waste the material on those areas.

No: But high strength peroxide gels can damage mercury fillings and release more mercury vapor, as well as damage composite fillings.
