Whitening a bridged tooth?

i just got a bridge done for my tooth.


it's a temporary one until i align my teeth with retainers and then i am going to put in an implant. however, the color is very .... unnatural? so in order for them to look uniform, i was thinking of whitening my teeth with colgate brushons or the white strips from crest.





can bridged tooth be whitened at home? how about implants?/

Whitening a bridged tooth?
i have been in the dental field for about 20 years. No unnatural teeth will lighten with any bleaching material. sometimes it changes the shade a LITTLE bit because it removes stain. Hopefully this doc has enough experience in implants to complete this procedure with the utmost natural look for you. Most of the time the dentist will make a semi custom temp that closely matches the natural teeth nearby. Best thing to do is make SURE the dentist takes a close match shade check on the adjoining teeth before this final impression is completed. My feeling about this is just that the doc made a crappy temp. It doesnt have to be this way.....and make sure you ask LOTS of questions about the implant....long and expensive procedure....BUT if you have healthy gums and bone, its the very best way to restore a lost tooth. Luck to ya
Reply:No, they don't work on dental work-if you want them whitened you will have to go to a dentist. Take your platinum Visa with you.
Reply:You can't whiten them.
