Why order matters
Crowns don’t whiten. If you bleach after a crown, your natural teeth may become lighter than the crown.
The ideal sequence
1. Exam to confirm health & shade goals
2. Whitening to reach your target shade
3. Wait 1–2 weeks for shade to stabilize
4. Shade-match and make the crown
What if you already have a crown?
You can whiten teeth and later replace the crown to match—plan for the added cost/timing.
