Can I Whiten my Fillings or Crowns?

Typically, bonded fillings prevent teeth whitening treatments from being administered.

Replacements may become necessary if the difference in color becomes too much or if the surrounding teeth are in some danger of being damaged or decayed.

Veneers and artificial crowns are better for whitening treatments as they are sturdier and less susceptible to complications when the treatments are applied.

As a rule, the bonded fillings themselves cannot be whitened.

If you are looking for aesthetic makeovers, depending on the condition of your teeth you may need to get a complete overhaul in order to blend the artificial teeth with the natural ones.
