Will a home teeth-whitener effect my fake tooth?!
Question:
Will a home teeth-whitener effect my fake tooth?
So I used to smoke and drink coffee alot, now that I quit I want to whiten my teeth. I do not have $300 to do it professionally. I want to use a home kit (you know, like those crest whitestrips) but part of my front tooth is fake because of a trampoline accident many years ago. I don't know if the strips will whiten that tooth as well... I dont want to do it if they will be mismatched. Do you guys know if it will or not? Or if there is a particular brand to use?
Answers:
If the tooth is porcelain, it will not be effected. I have 6 porcelain veneers due to a car accident and they are the same color as the day I got them (11 years ago). I have used white strips to help whiten the teeth around them, but be careful if you do this so that the fake tooth doesn't stand out as a different color. Good luck.
