Does lack of enamel interfere with Whitening?

I would like to whiten my teeth, but I am afraid the whitening process will just make my see-through teeth even more see through. Is this the case, or would whitening improve the appearance of my teeth and make them look thicker (the appearance of more enamel?

[Dr Mohsen J. Esfahani]

Teeth whitening only whitens enamel and not dentine. So if you have a lack of Enamel and mainly show dentine, you may find that the teeth whitening results will not reach your expectations. I would recommend a consultation to see if you would benefit from the teeth whitening procedures on offer.

Thanks for asking this question. I was wondering about it myself. The lower halves of my incisors are a bit transclucent, so if I went for tooth whitening, I suppose my front teeth would look odd!
