Pro care whitening strips
Whitening strips can lighten some natural-tooth stains, but restorations usually keep their colour.
The short answer
Whitening strips use a peroxide gel to lighten some stains on natural teeth, but results depend on contact, stain type, product instructions, and restorations.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
The strip holds gel against front tooth surfaces. Peroxide can break down some stains, while fillings, crowns, and veneers generally keep their original colour.
What can you do next?
Follow the label, keep gel off the gums, and treat cavities, inflamed gums, exposed dentine, and leaking restorations before whitening.
When should you seek dental care?
Arrange assessment for persistent sensitivity, gum injury, uneven whitening, or a dark single tooth.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask what diagnosis, material, force, ingredient, or follow-up finding applies to my teeth and gums, and what alternatives should be considered.
