A common question we hear at All Smiles Dental Studio is: “Will whitening change the color of my crown or filling?” The short answer is no. Professional whitening agents are designed to work on natural tooth enamel, not the porcelain or composite materials used in restorative work.
Strategy for a Uniform Smile
If you have a crown or a large filling on a front tooth, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first. Once we reach your desired shade, we can then replace the old dental work with a new crown or filling that perfectly matches your new, brighter smile. This ensures a seamless, uniform look.
Planning Your Smile Makeover
If you are planning a larger transformation—like getting veneers—whitening your surrounding teeth beforehand is a crucial step. This allows us to select a “lighter” shade for your veneers that blends beautifully with your enhanced natural teeth.
Conclusion:
We look at the “big picture” of your smile to ensure your whitening results are perfect.
