They only cover a few teeth so to get the teeth you need whitened, you&#8217;ll need to cut them and try to fit them on those teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t use other over-the-counter products. They&#8217;re not as safe. Some have citric acid and some have things which will etch the teeth to make the look whiter. Unfortunately, they also cause micro scratches on your teeth which will cause them to pick up stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to whiten them faster, you may want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"professional teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">professional teeth whitening<\/a> with a dentist. They can get all the teeth you want without any damage to your porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option would be to add <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\">porcelain veneers<\/a> to the teeth which are exposed when you smile. This way you wouldn&#8217;t have to constantly worry about the discrepancy in color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, originally, your cosmetic dentist should have suggested to cover all your teeth visible when you smile. For most smiles, that would mean 6-8 veneers. Some wide smiles require up to ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New Orleans Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">New Orleans Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had four porcelain veneers done several years ago.
