What it is
Whitening uses bleaching agents to lighten natural teeth. Fillings, crowns and other tooth-coloured restorations do not whiten in the same way.
What a visit may involve
A dentist assesses suitability and discusses options, likely limitations and possible sensitivity or gum irritation.
Your dentist would explain the proposed approach, alternatives, potential risks and expected costs before any treatment decision.
A question to bring
to your dentist
How might whitening affect my existing dental work and sensitivity?
