How does teeth whitening work with a crown in place?
Q. I wanted to get my teeth whitened but i have a crown on my right front tooth and on my left front tooth the anamel wore away really bad so my dentist put some sort of layer on top of it , can i still whiten my teeth and if i do will it change the color of my crown?
A. Thanks for your question, whitening procedures will only whiten your natural tooth tissue. Therefore any restorations which you have had placed in the past would remain the same colour. When my patients, who have a crown or veneer wish to whiten their teeth, they would normally have the restorations replaced afterwards. I hope this helps.
