What’s the difference between bonding and veneers?

If you have veneers, it’s important to know that traditional teeth whitening treatments won’t change the colour of the veneer material. However, there are still ways to brighten your smile overall.

🦷 What You Can and Can’t Whiten

  • Natural teeth: Can be whitened with professional or at-home treatments
  • Veneers, crowns, or fillings: Do not respond to whitening agents

🪥 Options If You Have Veneers

  • Whiten your natural teeth first, then match veneers to the new shade
  • Polish your veneers during cleanings to remove surface stains
  • Replace older veneers if they’ve become discoloured or dull over time

✅ Tips for a Brighter Smile

  • Avoid stain-causing foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, wine)
  • Use non-abrasive toothpaste and rinse after meals
  • Schedule regular dental cleanings to keep everything bright
