Can dental crowns be whitened?

Can dental crowns be whitened?

No, dental crowns cannot be whitened using traditional teeth whitening treatments. Crowns are made from materials like porcelain or ceramic, which don't respond to the bleaching agents used in whitening practices. These materials are chosen for their durability and ability to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, but they remain unaffected by whitening agents.

Whiten Your Teeth Before Getting a Dental Crown 

If you're considering whitening your natural teeth, it's essential to do so before getting a dental crown in Brandon, FL. This allows your dentist to match the crown to the desired shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a consistent and harmonious appearance. 

Once the crown is placed, it will not change color. Therefore, it's crucial to maintain the whiteness of your natural teeth through regular oral hygiene and periodic whitening treatments. This responsibility lies in your hands, and by doing so, you can ensure the longevity of your dental crown and the overall health of your teeth.
