What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

It cannot bleach fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorations, so mixed natural and restored teeth may not change uniformly.

What can you do next?

Read the product directions, keep strips off the gums, and stop use if strong sensitivity, gum soreness, or oral irritation develops.

When should you seek dental care?

Arrange a dental check before whitening if you have cavities, cracked teeth, gum disease, enamel erosion, or unexplained darkening.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask whether the discolouration is surface stain or internal tooth colour, whether restorations will mismatch, and what alternative treatment fits your mouth.
