Teeth Whitening vs. Laminates: A Dilemma

My teeth are generally on the yellowish side.
I am debating between teeth whitening and veneers.

Whitening allows for the preservation of natural teeth, but
My concern is that the effect doesn't last long.

Laminates improve quickly, but
I am concerned about having to remove teeth.

If you prioritize image improvement
It is difficult to judge which is the more realistic choice.

In the long run
I am curious about the selection criteria that take maintenance into account.
