Can I have teeth whitening on my front crowns

Q. I have 2 crowns at the front and i would like my teeth whitened, is this possible? or could i have veneers on these front teeth?

A. Dear A,

Teeth Whitening is only effective on natural teeth, things such as crowns, Veneers and fillings will not whiten. If you would like a whiter smile you could whiten your natural teeth first and then ask your dentist to replace your crowns to match the new shade.

It is not possible to place a Veneer on a tooth which has an existing crown. This is not a problem though as with the right dentist and technician you should not be able to tell the difference from and crown, Veneer or natural tooth.

Kind regards
Dr
