Tooth whitening with porcelain veneers

Results of tooth whitening, via professional tooth whitening or home bleaching kits, are subjective and do vary from one individual to another depending on teeth structure. For individuals with contra-indications against tooth whitening or individuals who would like a controlled shade of whiteness, porcelain veneers are an alternate cosmetic tooth whitening option that is sometime referred as veneers whitening.

Veneer whitening guarantees a specific color shades or enbles the level of whiteness to be specified. Porcelain veneers can also be used to change the shape, size, straighten mildly crooked teeth and resolve irregularities in teeth.

Porcelain veneers are very thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain pieces placed over the front surface of teeth to improve tooth appearance.
