Question 8 of 8
Does whitening affect treated teeth, i.e. fillings, facets or crowns?
A: yes
ERROR
Correct Answer: Tooth-colored composite (plastic polymer) or ceramic restoration materials cannot be bleached. They stay the same color. For this reason, you need to consider how your smile will look after whitening, that is, if the teeth become lighter, but the elements of restoration are not. This is best discussed with your dentist, who can guide you through your options.
B: No
