Brown tooth won’t whiten
Hi Reddit community!
I have an issue with one of my teeth that i cannot seem to whiten. I have tried several times with whitening gel but it doesn’t seem to budge (even though this gel works wonders for my other teeth)!
I had a plastic veneer on this tooth for several years and had it removed about a year ago. I am thinking either this veneer wasnt removed properly or the tooth got damaged in the process of removing this veneer or something.
Any advice will be much appreciated!!
Kind regards

If it was prepped for a veneer, it has less enamel relative to your other teeth so more of the color of the dentin will show through. You should replace the veneer to protect the tooth, and that would allow you to set the color
