Hi everyone.

Two years ago I had a cracked porcelain veneer which I had then to ask the dentist to remove it and he replaced it with a resin veneer.

No after two years, the resin veneer started to look darker than the rest of my teeth.

How can I whiten the darkened resin veneer at home, without having to visit a dentist?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Yours.
 
Unfortunately, you can't.
 
Its true that you can't whiten the veneer.
The tooth may be getting darker if it has had, or needs root canal treatment.
If it has had root canal- it could be that 'internal bleaching' would work. This can be easy and cheaper than replacing the veneer but has to be done by the dentist.
Regards
Dr Mike
