Many experts recommend rebuilding smiles with dental implants<\/a> after tooth loss because of their unique advantages. Unlike dentures and bridges, they are surgically placed in your jaw and fuse with the bone to function more like natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019ve been drinking a lot of dark sodas, coffee, or tea, and have noticed that your grin looks darker than usual, you might wonder whether your restoration can be whitened along with the rest of your teeth. Continue reading to learn more about why topical treatments are unlikely to be effective!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Dental Implants Made From?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the only replacement teeth that are embedded in your jawbone to become a more permanent part of your mouth. Because of this, they\u2019re made from biocompatible materials that the human body is unlikely to reject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the post inserted in your jaw is usually made from resilient, lightweight titanium that resists corrosion but can withstand the pressure of everyday biting and chewing. Some providers also offer implants made from a durable ceramic, called zirconia, for patients with certain allergies or sensitivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve recovered from implant placement, your dentist will provide a restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or dentures, to replace however many teeth went missing. These are usually made from ceramic, like color-matched porcelain or zirconia, that can be customized for beautiful results that boost your confidence.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you opt for professional services or feel tempted to try over-the-counter teeth whitening solutions, these products typically rely on bleach to brighten your grin. This ingredient undergoes a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with stain particles on your enamel, which blasts them apart, reducing their size and concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, store-bought products often contain diluted bleaches that cause sensitivity or produce inconsistent results. Meanwhile, your dentist will examine your mouth before applying any product so that your grin is as healthy as it is beautiful after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Brighten My Smile with Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technically, you can still lighten your grin if you have a dental implant, but the truth is that bleach doesn\u2019t affect your restoration like your natural enamel. The teeth you were born with will look brighter, but your restoration will remain the same. In some cases, they may be able to provide a professional cleaning to address more recent blemishes, but usually, the shade of your implant remains the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, your provider might recommend whitening your teeth to achieve the perfect shade before designing your prosthetic. That way, your restoration can be customized to match the upgraded hue before it\u2019s placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
