I am looking for suggestions for potential aesthetic treatments for my partly yellow teeth (with a white tip for whatever reason, mainly the canines) and the small gaps between teeth. (Between incisors, about 1mm) I don't drink red wine and coffee, nor do I smoke. I was told, looking at the canines, this seems to be a case of bruxism (not sure though! And I am not aware of any teeth clenching). Can something be done here to fill the "black triangles"?

Hi:Although whitening can make your white spots whiter a bit and does not change the color of the fillings, depending on how much whiter your want your teeth to be it still can be a very good option. I would need to see photos of your front teeth to give you a more accurate advice.Best,Dr. Maddahi
You can certainly whiten your teeth without worrying about damage to the "fake" teeth. Whether, made of porcelain, composite, or plastic the whitening chemistry should not hurt the material--it will not whiten it either.Good luck
Yes they can be used, however, the crowns will not change color. If the natural teeth are darker than the crowns, you should get some improvement in the uniformity of the color of your smile.
