I would like to have my teeth whitened but one of my front teeth has been damaged in the past and is alot darker than my other teeth.

Q.
Dear Dr Patal,

I am considering having my teeth whitened. However when i was younger one of my front teeth was knocked slightly. It is now I’d say about 2 shades darker than the rest of my teeth. Do you think if I whiten my teeth it will stay the same colour and look really obvious? I don’t think it’s dead just got a bit hurt when it was knocked. I havent had it filled or anything.

Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I would ideally like to x-ray of that tooth to assess it but whitening should help sometimes that one tooth will need some extra whitening to help it match the others.
