NO there is not! Some people think that the bleaching strips you can buy at the stores will bleach veneers. THAT is not true. It even says on the package for Natural teeth only. If you have composite bondings that have stained from tea, wine or cigarettes over the years, you can have them replaced. However you can have a Porcelain veneer put over it and that will keep it's color for life. As it is the same material as you dinner wear and you have never of heard of that staining have yo? The new procedures now take very little time and the look is fantastic. The new composite bonding material now have ground glass int them so they are less likely to stain ever, so you may want to ask you dentist if he uses this material (Made by Dent Mat Co.)as well as others, and compare the price and time involved. They are both great ways to get nice looking teeth without cutting down a lot of tooth to fit a crown. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me.
