does bleaching your teeth work on porcelain veneers?

Veneers are largely translucent and if yours are very thin then it's possible that bleaching will "lighten" the overall appearance of the teeth. That's because they take on the underlying colour somewhat and if the natural tooth lightens then you might get some beneficial lightening even if you have had veneers placed.
If your veneers are thick you will not get any effect and if the cement used is opaque you will see very little benefit from bleaching)if any).
BTW , your dentist will have to get you to put bleach on the inside surface and incisal edge of your teeth for any of the above effects which is not where it is normally placed - same with surgery bleaching.

No you can't bleach porcelain veneers, they are made a certain color by a lab the only way to change the color is to replace the veneer

Nope, you can bleach those puppies as much as you want but the color they are is the color their going to be.
Now on the bright side, you can brighten up the rest of your teeth with some crest white stips or other over the counter bleaching stuff. It works pretty slowly so you can adjust the color of your bottom teeth and those to the sides of teh veneers to your liking.

that's available that your tooth will darken with age. this would be a organic technique. And sure your veneers won't darken. yet there are touch up bleaching kits which will immediately re whiten your organic tooth if in some years they slightly darken up. don't be afraid to do the bleaching and then the veneers. solid success.

unfortunatly no......if you feel your veneers have become discoloured, go to you dentists get them out, put a masking agent or opacifier under them and get them recemented. thats the only way or get new ones made.

No, it does not. If you want to make it whiter than you have to have a new one made. I know...it's a bummer.
