Teeth whitening can be preformed on individuals with dental restorations like crowns, fillings or veneers, however they do not respond to whitening treatments. Natural teeth will only get as white as what they naturally can, so typically this is not an issue. It is recommended to have your teeth whitened prior to having new crowns, veneers or fillings placed for an overall whiter smile. Whitening is also great for removing accumulated stains along filling edges, making fillings blend in seamlessly with the natural tooth structure. 

A teeth whitening session typically takes about 1 hour & 15 minutes. Sessions are aimed to be client specific in order to ensure you achieve the best results.
