Is it possible to bleach my teeth if I have Lumineers on my top teeth. I had Lumineers put on about three years ago, and now I would like to bleach my teeth. What will happen if I do this?

Stacey,
Let me ask you a couple questions: Did you request a certain degree of whiteness when you first had your Lumineers done on your upper teeth? If this is the case, are you only interested in bleaching your bottom teeth? This is important to know, because Lumineers can not be whitened at this point. Although, you can whiten your lower teeth if you are trying too match them to color of the Lumineers above.
When placing Lumineers on our patients, specifically if they are for the upper arch, we strongly advise our patients to select the shade they want. It is fine to go with a lighter shade on the upper arch at this point, because the lower teeth can later be lightened to match the Lumineers on top.
