The short answer
Three-dimensional whitening strips are adhesive products that hold a peroxide-based gel against the front surfaces of teeth; their effect depends on the formulation, contact time, and the type of stain.
Which tooth stains and restorations can strips affect?
They can lighten some surface and internal tooth discoloration, but they do not change the color of fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorations.
What should happen before choosing a whitening method?
A dental professional can examine enamel, exposed dentin, cavities, cracks, and existing restorations before recommending a whitening method.
When should you stop using whitening strips?
Follow the product directions, keep gel off the gums, and stop if marked burning, ulceration, or persistent tooth pain develops.
Which whitening option may suit your stain?
Ask which stains are likely to respond and whether professional trays or an in-office method would give a more controlled result.
