Whitening my front crown

[Mani]

Hi

I recently had a crown fitted on my front tooth and I noticed afterwards that the colour of the crown did not match the colour of my other front teeth. The crown feels comfortable and I have not had any problems with it other than the shade being wrong.

I think that the crown looks darker in shade than my other teeth and was wondering if it was possible to whiten my crown with teeth whitening? If it is possible, would you recommend home or zoom teeth whitening for whitening my front crown?

Hi

Unfortunately its not possible to whiten veneers or crowns with teeth whitening gel. One way to solve this problem is to replace the crown and perhaps this time have a lab shade take done so that the lab have a better chance of getting the shade of the crown right.
