Teeth whitening can not lighten fillings, but can it remove stains that form on white fillings?

I have white fillings (like veneers they cover the front of my teeth, but are not porcelan, but the cheaper stuff the dentist uses, I think it's called agar?)


Over time stains have developed on them, would a teeth whitening kit bought from the chemist or going to get it done at the dentist remove the stains even if it doesnt lighten the actual filling?

That's not so, these whitening products are strictly for natural teeth, in fact they may discolor the filling material making it look worse.


The best thing to do would be to bleach your natural teeth to a lighter shade, and redo your veneers.


Your veneers aren't really supposed to stain like that, you may have recurrent decay underneath,it would be a good idea to visit your dentist.
Reply:nope, my dad is a dentist and i've worked at his office. the filling material comes in different colors to match your teeth so if you lighten your real teeth the fillings will stay the same color.
