Can i have teeth whitening on my dental bridge

Hey, I lost my front tooth about a year back and my dentist put in a bridge. I now want my teeth whitened, but if i do so my fake tooth will still be dull. Any ideas on how to get round this?? Thanks, R

Dear R,

The only way following whitening your teeth would be to have your old bridge replaced to to match`the new whiter colour. Veneering the existing bridge with whiter porcelain veneers is a possibility but generally the end result would not be as good as replacing the bridge . Sorry that I don’t have any magical solutions.
