Creating a full and beautiful smile is easy with the help of porcelain veneers. Veneers are one of the most tried and trusted cosmetic options and has been for years. Veneers are easy to place, normally requiring little to no anesthetic. They are relatively long-lasting, with most porcelain veneers staying in place for about a decade. The veneer procedure involves matching your current restorations with your existing dentition for a bright, flawless appearance.

Can Porcelain Veneers Be Whitened?

You may already have veneers or are looking to get them placed but want to know if they can be whitened. Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened with whitening products or treatments. They remain the color they were when first created for you. In order to whiten your veneers, they will need to be fully replaced with veneers that are of a lighter shade. While some whitening treatments and products promise to whiten dental restorations, the vast majority of restorations will not change color during or after using the product. The beauty about veneers not changing color is that you can rest assured they won’t stain or discolor. You can always benefit from veneers that are the same color they were when they were first placed.

Best Options for Veneer Patients

If you’re unhappy with the color of your veneers, the best option is to have them replaced. Your doctor may recommend whitening your natural teeth prior to the veneer procedure so that your new whiter veneers match your brighter smile. You may need to whiten your natural teeth regularly to keep them bright, white and matching the veneers that have been placed. Because the veneer procedure is so easy and quick, it takes very little time to replace them. In fact, it’s recommended that you have your veneers replaced every 10 years, so if your veneers are over a decade old, you may want to consider having them replaced regardless of their color.

In order to be fully satisfied with your new veneers, it’s important to choose a color that works for your smile. Whitening your natural teeth can help in creating a flawless and natural look so that it’s less obvious that you’re wearing veneers. While veneers may not be able to be whitened, they can’t stain or discolor either. This ensures that you can always feel confident in wearing your veneers and showing off a bright, full and flawless smile.

This gentleman desired a brighter smile, but wanted a natural look to suit his face. New veneers were handcrafted to look completely natural, and his smile was designed to better support his face.

A long time Aspenite didn’t like her two front teeth. After proper analysis and a Smile Test DriveTM we determined it was a more complex problem than just two teeth. Her bite had destroyed her teeth and smile, and aged her face. So we fixed her bite and smile using our Ageless Smile algorithm, which turned back the clock.

This 40 something Aspen and Sydney resident presented looking for a better smile. Because after 2 rounds of Invisalign and plenty of whitening, he was still left wanting. With almost no preparation of his teeth we were able to add the length, prominence, broadness on sides and the shade his smile was wanting for resulting in a more youthful attractive smile and fuller lips. He is ecstatic about his new smile! The Ageless Smile Algorithm nailed it again.

This hospital exec traveled for a couple of hours in search of the smile of her dreams. Her lack of tooth display was due to a skeletal issue known as an impacted and retrognathic maxilla, which means her upper jaw was too far up and back causing her smile to show less tooth volume and less lip support than ideal. We designed a new smile to correct that deficiency by making her teeth longer and building them out for more tooth support. Now she shows a more attractive and youthful amount of tooth display that is in harmony with her lower lip. She loves her new smile which gives her renewed confidence every day.

Unhappy with the size of her smile and her local dentist’s attempt to bond a little more length, this Florida woman came to Aspen to receive The

Ageless SmileTM. Traditional dentistry would have referred her for Jaw Surgery in order to bring her upper jaw down and forward to show more teeth. Although this was discussed, the patient chose the non-surgical route which gave a near surgical result for her esthetics and bite. Tooth display at smile and at rest are some of the main determinants in guessing ones age. She now shows a more youthful amount of tooth, which takes years off of her look.

Our favorite Miami Housewives star, interior designer, and hotelier was just back in our office for his new smile. Exactly like the temporaries but the brighter shade he chose. In fact, this is our very brightest shade that he saw on his dear friend and fell in love with, and why he came to us to begin with. He has been looking for a decade for someone who could give him a super bright smile that still looked natural. It’s all in the natural tooth form, texture, and translucency. He loves his new smile and commented after each visit that he was amazed that he felt like he had no work done after each appointment as he had no pain or sensitivity. Another great Ageless Smile!
