<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Teeth Whitening Does Not Work on Veneers
Laser teeth whitening does not work on veneers, only on natural teeth. Teeth whitening removes stains and debris from teeth due to certain food or beverages, the aging process, smoking, certain drugs such as tetracycline, grinding and trauma where cracks in the teeth collect stains.
On the Other: Veneers Are Already White
Veneers are stain resistant, according to Cosmetic Dentistry of New Mexico. People can choose the veneer color they like, and the color will not change. Therefore, veneers do not need whitening products.
Bottom Line
If veneers are going to be a part of your dental treatment, have them placed on your teeth after your other teeth have been whitened so that the veneers will match, recommends the Consumer Guide to Dentistry.
