Teeth Whitening: Is This Possible after Getting a Dental Implant?

I recently had a dental implant placed and now have the crown. I am wondering if I can get teeth whitening now in my mouth. Will the teeth whitening affect the implant? Do I need to take any special precautions? Thanks.

You can do whitening after having a dental implant, it will not effect the implant as long as it is fully integrated. But keep in mind that if you already have a crown on that implant the porcelain will not get whitened. If the crown is visible it may have to be replaced to match the new lighter color of your teeth. Hope that is helpful. David E. Azar, DDS, FICOI, MgIDE

Yes, you can get teeth whitening after your dental implant & crown that you have done already. It does not affect the implant nor the crown.The ideal approach however is to do the whitening first and then have the crown made for the implant. That way the dentist can match the color much better to the whitened teeth. Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi
