Should I Whiten My Teeth Before Replacing my Crowns?

Q.
Good evening. I have purchased a deal online to get my crowns re-done with a lighter colour. I would like laser teeth whitening and I know this does not work on fake teeth hence the reason for my purchase of new crowns. However, I am doing the procedures separately as I found a separate deal on Groupon for £79 for Zoom! teeth whitening in Kensington. Should I get the whitening done before replacing the crowns, and will it be OK that the procedures are separate? Also is Zoom! a good make? Thank you.
A.
Thank you for your question. Yes, whiten your other teeth first. Zoom! is fine but really only works effectively if you have home whitening as well as the in surgery procedure, and of course you need to maintain and top up your whitening regularly to ensure your remaining teeth and crowns match. To top up with only Zoom! every time is very expensive and much more hassle and cost than using a home system supplied right at the start of the process.

Either way it’s highly likely there will be further costs than just the £79.

Regards,  Mark.
