There are two factors in answering this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, a lot of the answers will depend on one how white your eyeballs are. While teeth can be bleached exceptionally white, there are limits to its whitening ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second factor is that <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">teeth whitening<\/a> results vary quite a bit. This is why when someone is getting a complete smile makeover we have them bleach their teeth first. You get much more accurate results when you are matching porcelain veneers to a color, than when you are using teeth whitening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is just a color you are going for, then you can attempt to do it with teeth whitening and see if it gives you the color you want.  It is the least expensive way to give yourself a mini makeover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if there was more you wanted to change about your teeth, such as their shape or size, in addition to the color, then the way to go is with <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>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned above, they can be made to any color you desire. But that isn&#8217;t all.  A great cosmetic dentist can lengthen and widen your teeth, completely changing the character of your smile. Depending on how the dentist shapes your teeth, he can change the appearance of your smile to look youthful, sporty, authoritative&#8230;whatever you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it does require some expertise and will be more expensive. Unlike teeth whitening, which any dentist can do equally well, to do truly <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-smile-makeover.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"beautiful smile makeovers  (opens in a new tab)\">beautiful smile makeovers <\/a>takes advanced technical and artistic ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is only developed after extensive post-doctoral training.  Doing smile makeovers isn&#8217;t taught in dental school. In your place, I&#8217;d look for an <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/dr-delaune.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AACD accredited dentist (opens in a new tab)\">AACD accredited dentist<\/a>. They are in the top 1% of cosmetic dentists in the country.
