Hello lybrate-user,
teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure, but a semi permanent one. Effects depend on diet (turmeric and colas are to be avoided) and maintenance of teeth.
Laminates are a permanent solution. To change both colour and shape
see your smile, do you want to change the shape of your tooth, or its just the color.
And then take a call
if its only the shade of the tooth, go for whitening.

Hello lybrate-user
the yellow colour of our teeth depends on our skin tone too.
With age also our teeth get yellow colour due to the deposition of enamel; which is normal. If the function of the teeth are not affected and they are not giving your smile an ugly look. In that case you should just bear with them.
