How do you whiten crowns and veneers?
Greetings, Crowns and veneers are not porous like teeth are, so it is not possible to whiten them. Crowns and veneers can accumulate minimal amounts of staining over the course of many years and thus those stains can be removed while whitening normal dentition, but you will not see results as you will with your natural tooth structure. Because of this, we always advise that prior to the placement of any restorations, like fillings, crowns, or veneers, that you whiten your teeth to obtain an optimal esthetic result. That way, we can match your new dental work with your whitest tooth structure and maintain it by keeping up with whitening at home. Dr. Mel Dixon, DDS READ MORE
