    Default denture whitening?

    Hi ,my name is Sarah ,and i`ve just had my old teeth replaced with dentures..

    Not the best of experiences ,i have to say I`m gutted ,as their not as white as i`d expected...(ie....the origional new teeth i was shown)..

    Does anybody know if you can therefore whiten DENTURES??

    I really am not a vain person ,but i had hoped this major leap would give me at least a little self confidence to smile..
    but these don`t look anything like i had hoped....please.....can anybody help/advise??...many thanks

    Hi

    Unfortunately the only way to whiten the denture teeth would be to change the actual teeth on the denture with whiter teeth.

    you should have had a try in appointment where you get the opportunity to see the teeth before they are processed, once the teeth are processed onto the denture that is it, they will only get darker, not lighter

    as said before, the only way to change the colour would be to change the teeth unfortunately
