What an assessment covers
Your dentist checks for decay, gum problems, sensitivity and existing restorations before explaining whether whitening is appropriate.
Managing expectations
Crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten in the same way as natural enamel. Temporary sensitivity can occur, and your clinician will provide safe-use instructions.
Practical steps to remember
- Use only a dentist-prescribed system
- Tell your dentist about sensitivity
- Discuss visible crowns and fillings in advance
This guide offers general information and cannot replace advice from a dental professional who has assessed your individual circumstances.
