When I was 12 I broke my two front teeth. I am a smoker, so when I was old enough to get my permanent crowns, my teeth weren't exactly white. They tinted the crowns to match the other teeth, but now I want to bleach my teeth. If I do this are they going to end up staying the same color while the others go white, or will they turn white too?
Can permanent crowns get be whitened if they were already tinted?
No.
Reply:I just last week checked with my dentist. The answer is NO. They will have to be replaced and that will not be inexpensive.
Reply:If you bleach your teeth your crowns will stay the same color they are now. Crowns are made out of porcelain and they are made to match the color of your teeth, once that color always that color the only way to change that is to have the crowns replaced.
Reply:Yes, you will have to replace them. I wouldn't be surprised if they find reccurent decay under the old crowns too.
Hope you are considering quiting smoking.
good luck.
Reply:Your crowns won't bleach, but your teeth will. So, if you don't want to end up with a "corn on the cub" smile, avoid bleaching!
But anyway, if you're a smoker, bleaching is not for you! It's a formal contraindication to bleaching treatment. If you want to bleach your teeth, you must:
1- Stop smoking.
2- Stop smoking.
3- Get a dental appointment. Bleaching is often a step that follows dental work with higher priority, like treating cavities and gum diseases.
4- Be ready to need a crown replacement.
5- Avoid squandering aimlessly on OTC stuff without dental supervision.
6- Stop smoking.
This is a footpath to success!
