I had my two front teeth chipped about half way. The dentist filled it in i dont know how… bt now they are starting to stain. Is there anything you can buy to whiten these caps?

composit filling material will change color after some time, you need ceramic full crowns that will not change color.

No after you whiten you would have to go back and have the Dr. refill with a different shade. Of course this costs, so it may not be worth it.

NO. Your dentist would have to go in and change the fillings, to a lighter/whiter shade. Don’t drink black coffee, cokes. etc those will stain your fillings!

No, they won’t respond to normal bleaching techniques. The only
thing you can do is see if your dentist can polish and smooth them
up a bit, removing the outer layer or edges a bit, sort of like filing
a fingernail. If that doesn’t work, you will have to have the bonding
removed and replaced. Sorry! In the future, the things that stain bonding the fastest are coffee, tea, smoking, dark drinks like red
wine and colas, etc. so the fewer of these you do, the less stain
you will get.
