Should I get my teeth whitened before I get my crown fitted?

Q.
i have a crown at the front of my teeth that needs replacing but i was considering having my teeth whitened would it be best to have the crown replaced before i have them whitened or after. i also hav e a tooth that has had a filling that has a slight crack and my dentist suggests having a plastic coating of some sort over it because he says the tooth would crumble if he drilled it anymore would a crown be better. thankyou for any help.
A.
It will be best to whiten the teeth first (with professional tray whitening) then replace the crown and match it to the new colour

You can’t whiten crowns you have to replace them they do not stain or respond to bleach!

For the umpteenth time the crowns won’t change colour, often they may need cahnging if the teeth whiten significantly

A few years ago I fell over and banged my left front tooth, this has causedthe tooth to discolour. I am looking at a treatment which will make my tooth the same colour as my other teeth. I am also interested in teeth whitening. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am considering getting my teeth whitened as well as crowns/veneers for my front 4 top teeth. Could you give me a ballpark figure forthis kind of treatment? I presume the veneer and crowns prices are different. Thanks,

Hi, I am interested in getting my teeth whitened. I have noticed slight erosion on a couple of my teeth and I wonder if getting my teeth whitened would be beneficial or would make it worse? Thank you

interested in getting my teeth whitened. I have the following questions 1) When I was younger I chipped one of my front teeth and hadit capped, would the whitening still work on the crown, or would it remainthe same colour are there any solutions if this is the case I would rather have a one off treatment, rather than using a take home kit

Hi, I had both front teeth crowned on NHS 8 years ago, always hated them and want to pay private to get more natural fit and colour. Could you confirmwhether you do this kind of work i.e. replacement of old crowns and the fee involved and how quickly work can be started. Many thanks.

If you have a crown and want your teeth whitened, whiten your teeth to the desired shade then get your dentist to replace your crown with one that matches the shade of your newly whitened teeth.. CROWNS DO NOT WHITEN!! THEY ARE MADE OF PORCELAIN!! Hope this helps! 🙂

Hello.

I currently have whitened teeth and am thinking of upgrading to emax veneers or crowns in the future for cosmetic reasons. Would these whitened teeth create a problem for a top 8 – 10 makeover when determining a final shade due to gradual fading.
Thanks for your response.
