Does whitening change the colour of restorations?

A question to discuss before planning a brighter smile.

A question to discuss before planning a brighter smile.

01

Natural teeth and restorations differ

Whitening is intended to lighten natural teeth. Existing artificial restorations do not respond in the same way, so a change in natural tooth shade can leave a visible colour difference. An examination helps clarify what that means for your smile.

02

Discuss suitability first

The condition of your teeth and gums matters when considering whitening. Temporary sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. A consultation is an opportunity to discuss these limitations and ask which method, if any, is appropriate for you.

03

Bring your priorities

Tell the dentist which part of your smile you want to change and mention any existing crowns or other restorations. Ask about likely limitations before agreeing to a plan. Dr. Abdullah offers whitening; this website does not claim a particular whitening system or promise a specific shade change.
