While this makes them less likely to sustain damage such as chips or cracks, it unfortunately also means that they won&#8217;t respond well to certain treatments, including teeth whitening. While a patient with dental implants can still receive this treatment, it will require certain considerations to produce the optimal result. Read on to learn about getting teeth whitening if you have dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Teeth Whitening Work with Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth whitening from a dentist\u2019s office produces results\nsuperior to anything you can get from a store. The treatment comes in at-home\nand in-office varieties, and while both can turn teeth eight to ten shades\nwhiter, they will not work on dental restorations. This means that if you undergo\nteeth whitening, your dental implants will remain the same color against your\nwhiter smile. If you are a dental implant patient desiring teeth whitening,\nyour dentist can suggest a few different methods to achieve a consistently\nbright smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Your Teeth Whitened Before Receiving Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t received your dental implants yet, the easiest\nway to your brightest smile is to whiten your teeth before having them placed.\nThis will allow your dentist to color-match your restorations to your newly\nwhitened grin so the whole set looks great from day one. Once you&#8217;re satisfied\nwith the whiteness of your smile, you can proceed with the implant process; but\nkeep in mind that you should always prioritize the replacement of teeth over\nwhitening them for the sake of your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing the Implant After Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have dental implants, your dentist can remove\nyour artificial tooth before whitening your teeth. Later, they can fashion a\nnew restoration color-matched to your newly brightened smile. This way, your\nrestored teeth will be just as white as your natural ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants will not become discolored in the same way\nas your natural teeth, and teeth whitening fades over several years. If you get\nteeth whitening with dental implants, periodic retreatments can maintain a\nconsistent color in your smile. If your restoration is not visible,\ncolor-matching might not even matter. Consulting with your dentist can help\ndetermine the best way to achieve your ideal smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Eduart Shkurti earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery at\nthe University of Southern California in 2006 before completing a year-long\nresidency at Montefiore Medical Center in 2007.
