Does Whitening Work on All Teeth?
A cosmetic teeth-whitening treatment will NOT make your teeth pearly white, it will make them whiter. How much whiter? It depends on a multitude of factors, including how stained and discoloring your teeth were before the whitening, what kind of staining agent caused most of the coloration, how well your enamel reacts to the whitening gel and the number of treatments performed.

What to expect during treatment?
No, which is why it’s important to talk to your dentist before deciding to whiten your teeth, as whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. For example, yellow teeth will probably bleach well, brown teeth may not respond as well and teeth with gray tones may not bleach at all. Whitening will not work on caps, veneers, crowns or fillings. It also won’t be effective if your tooth discoloration is caused by medications or a tooth injury.
