Dr. Hall,
I have 6 porcelain veneers placed on 15 yrs ago. If I want them whiter, what is the procedure for updating these older veneers, when will they come up with a procedure to whiten porcelain crowns, etc.? Thank you so for any info you can give. I purchased the Supersmile toothpaste from your site and it appears to have whitened my old veneers a little.

Dear Sondra,
The way to update old porcelain veneers is to replace them, and I see no prospects for any technology being developed to whiten old porcelain veneers or crowns.
I always wanted my porcelain veneer patients to use Supersmile toothpaste. It does help. It keeps the stains off, or, if you have stains, it removes them.
