I bought a pack of Crest whitestrips premium and I want to whiten my teeth, but I am hesitant to start because of the warning that they don't lighten dental work. Half of one of my front teeth is artificial because I chipped it off about 6 years ago, and it is matched to what my tooth color was at the time. If I significantly whiten my smile, is there ANY way to lighten the dental work to match, without having to get it somehow replaced?
How To Lighten Dental Work if Tooth Color Changes?
It depends on what type of dental work you have had done. Some dental work such as crowns dont stain as fast as your regular teeth. Therefore, while the strips wont brighten your dental work, it still might bring them a closer to a shade of white. Look closely, is your dental work whiter then the rest of your teeth? if so it might be OK to use your strips.
Reply:The Crest White Strips will not lighten dental work, only your natural teeth.
Some people find they significantly whiten their natural teeth, some only notice slight changes. Especially coffee, tea and soda drinkers.
Its best to talk about this with your dentist to see what your options are.
Reply:I would totally go ahead and use it,i bet that it will work but not so much that you would be able to see any discoloration with that bonded tooth.
