The porcelain veneers on my front teeth appear to have discolored over the years, I have always had regular cleanings and I don’t drink a lot of coffee, but they look yellow to me……. is it possible to bleach them?

Thank you,
Alice from Texas

Dear Alice,

To give you a definite answer regarding the color of your porcelain veneers, I would need to see you, but it sounds like the glaze has been damaged over the years by polishing during dental cleaning visits which is a very common problem.

As bleaching wont work to restore the color, you best bet is to have a cosmetic dentist use special diamond polishers to try and restore some of the luster.

Best of Luck

Dr. Schlang
