Is whitening right for you?
Whitening works best on natural teeth that have yellowed or darkened with age, diet or smoking. It does not change the colour of veneers, crowns or fillings, so if you have restorations on your front teeth we plan around them — sometimes whitening first and matching new restorations afterwards. Some deep or grey stains, for example from certain medicines or a tooth that has lost its nerve, respond less predictably and may need another approach. We check for decay, cracks and gum health first, because whitening healthy teeth gives the safest, most even result.
