What determines the result of Crest White whitening?

Before-and-after results from a Crest White whitening product depend on starting shade, discoloration, correct use and whether restorations are present.

What does peroxide whitening change inside the tooth?

The product is a peroxide-based whitening system, while before-and-after compares tooth color over time. Whitening does not recolor fillings, crowns, veneers or dentures.

What should be checked before using whitening products?

A dentist can check for cavities, gum disease, exposed roots and restorations before whitening. Follow product directions and stop for marked sensitivity or gum irritation.

When should tooth discolouration be assessed by a dentist?

Arrange assessment for painful teeth, bleeding gums, damaged enamel or a single dark tooth. Ask about persistent sensitivity, uneven color or mismatched restorations.

What should you ask about stains and restorations?

Ask whether the stain is surface or internal, whether whitening suits your teeth, and how fillings or crowns will affect the final shade.

Frequently asked questions

Why can it look uneven?

Natural teeth, restorations and stain types may respond differently.

Can it cause sensitivity?

Temporary sensitivity can occur when peroxide contacts susceptible surfaces.
