Veneers or teeth whitening? Choose teeth whitening if you just aim for a brighter smile (your teeth will be several shades brighter). On the other hand, choose veneers if you want to achieve both a brighter and perfect smile. That’s because with veneers, your teeth’s overall shape will also improve (gaps will also be covered and corrected).
Veneers vs teeth whitening
As mentioned, veneers can cover and correct the gaps as well as improve your teeth’s overall shape. This is possible because a thin layer of porcelain will be attached to the front of your teeth.
In contrast, teeth whitening, as also mentioned earlier, is about making your teeth several shades brighter. This is accomplished by using professional-grade bleaching agents that are activated with a UV lamp. When done or supervised by a dentist, your teeth will be brighter and your gums are also protected.
