Your dentist will go over options with you; it may be possible to whiten your teeth before your crowns and fillings are placed. Depending on if you’re replacing older metal crowns or fillings, or some decayed or damaged teeth exist, your treatment plan will be adjusted for best results. If whitening first, after your teeth are the desired shade, Marc L. Montgomery, DDS will select resin or ceramic material that closely matches the shade of your newly whitened teeth. This ensures that any dental restorations will match the natural color of your teeth perfectly.
