Yes you can whiten natural teeth...but not fillings or porcelain crowns. So be aware that the shade of your crowns are what they are and by whitening natural teeth you may make them more noticeable and less white than the ones you whitened. Speak to your dentist if you are unhappy with the shade of porcelain restorations. He/she may have a solution.
All whitening products today whether over the counter or from a dental professional can only whiten tooth structure specifically enamel. They will not have any effect on fillings or porcelain.
You can whiten your teeth but remember that your veneers and bridge will NOT change color with whitening. So if your veneers match the color of your natural teeth now they will likely look less white compared to your natural teeth after whitening.
Butter should not cause any staining of your teeth. You should avoid foods/drinks with artificial coloring in them such as sodas, curry, red wine, etc...Usually it takes 24 to 48 hours for teeth to get rehydrated and become somewhat resistant to picking up stain.
I usually wait 2 weeks for the color to settle. If the teeth were much darker than the shade you are lightening to, you may want to wait even a little longer as you will tend to get more rebound. Keep up your whitening once a week or so to maintain where you are at after the crown is in
As for whitening the front 16- 8 top and bottom 8 it dependents on how wide your smile is and how many teeth are visible when you smile!
