Teeth whitening with special preparations shows satisfactory effectiveness in most people. The effectiveness of such a brightening treatment may vary from case to case. Although there are ways to severely discolor and whiten dead teeth, the effect is not always satisfactory. It happens that the only way to get white teeth turns out to be veneers or crowns.
Teeth whitening effectiveness
At the outset, it should be noted that not all teeth are susceptible to whitening treatments. In many cases, the procedure of laser or overlay teeth whitening in a dentist’s office will actually lighten the teeth by a few, and sometimes even a dozen or so shades. Unfortunately, this effect is not always achievable. It is impossible to obtain a shade of teeth lighter than the natural color of a person’s bone. In this case, television whiteness can only be obtained thanks to veneers or crowns.
It also happens that for some people, for natural reasons, whitening is ineffective and the result lasts for a shorter time. Tetracycline discoloration may also prove to be a greater challenge.

If other methods fail, the aesthetic problem of dark teeth will be solved by permanent overlays made of composite materials or porcelain.
Can you whiten your teeth with fillings?
Teeth with fillings are a special case during whitening procedures. Bleaching with a laser, lamp or overlays allows you to act only on natural teeth.
