I need to get a dental crown on a front tooth. I know the color will be permanent so I want to retouch up my teeth whitening before settling on the color of the crown. Do you have any tips about how to go about this? Specifically, I am looking at how long I should whiten every day and for how many days. <\/p>\n

I’m glad you wrote. I am curious though if your dentist was unable to advise you of this. The reason I ask is because placing a dental crown on a front tooth is much trickier than other dental crowns. It takes some expertise in cosmetic dentistry to do a crown properly on a front tooth. If he wasn’t able to answer the questions about teeth whitening, which does not require expertise, I am going to advise you to find a different dentist at least for the crown. <\/p>\n

If it turns out that you do need to switch dentists in order to get a beautiful porcelain crown<\/a> to match your other front teeth, I recommend you see someone who is recommended on the mynewsmile.com<\/a> website. These dentists have all been prescreened and are among the top cosmetic dentists in the country. <\/p>\n

Touching Up Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n

In practice, it is up to you how long each day you leave on your teeth whitening<\/a> trays. The longer you can leave them on each day, the faster they will whiten. But, if your teeth are sensitive and you can only do them a little bit each day, that is okay too. You will just have to do more days. The fastest would be to sleep in the trays if you can. <\/p>\n

While there is no cut and dried rule for how many hours per day or days in general to whiten, there is a standard for how long to wait between the time you stop whitening and you go in for your dental crown. I would recommend giving it one week for the color to settle on your teeth before having the dentist create your dental crown. <\/p>\n
