If you’re planning to get a crown and want a brighter smile, it’s best to whiten your teeth before the crown is placed. That way, your new restoration can be colour-matched to your freshly whitened teeth.
✅ Why Whiten First?
- Crowns don’t respond to whitening agents
- Matching the crown to your ideal tooth shade ensures a more natural look
🦷 If You Whiten After Getting a Crown
- The crown will stay the same colour, while surrounding teeth get lighter
- This can lead to uneven results and a mismatched smile
📅 When to Whiten
- Ideally 1–2 weeks before your crown appointment
- This gives your dentist time to assess your final shade
