If you’ve been considering brightening your smile, you’ve probably seen endless ads promising dazzling results with whitening treatments. But here’s something many people don’t realize: not all dental work reacts to whitening the way natural teeth do.

When it comes to veneers, crowns, and other porcelain restorations, the rules are a little different. Natural teeth are porous, which means stains from coffee, red wine, or tea can seep into the enamel. Whitening treatments work by lifting those stains from the surface and within the pores of the tooth. Porcelain, however, is non-porous. That’s one of the reasons it looks so smooth and shiny. The downside? Porcelain doesn’t absorb whitening agents, so its base color won’t lighten.

That doesn’t mean there’s no hope for maintaining a bright smile if you have veneers or crowns. Surface stains can still build up on these restorations over time, especially if you enjoy darker foods and drinks. The good news is that these stains are usually superficial. With the right professional cleaning or polishing, they can be lifted away, restoring your veneers or crowns back to their original shade.

What’s important to remember is that whitening treatments will brighten your natural teeth, but they won’t change the actual color of porcelain. If your natural teeth lighten and your restorations stay the same, you may notice a mismatch. In that case, the best solution may be to replace older crowns or veneers so everything blends evenly.

It’s a good idea to talk with your dentist about any needed dental work and get a cleaning first. After that, you can have your teeth professionally whitened either at your dentist’s office or by a specialist at a private spa or studio.
