The majority of the treatments available for teeth whitening are suitable only for natural teeth. The bleaching effect works only on the natural tooth enamel and not on artificial materials. This is why teeth whitening is possible only when you have natural teeth. Teeth bleaching can damage bonding, veneers or crowns due to the chemicals used. However, in some cases it is possible to make a veneer look whiter. Since a veneer only covers the front of a tooth, bleaching agents can access the natural tooth structure from behind. By whitening the underlying dentin, the veneer may show more brightness.
