You will not do any harm by attempting to whiten your teeth. If you do not get the results that you are looking for by whitening, then you will need to consider placing an all ceramic crown on that tooth. This could be matched perfectly to the other teeth. Good luck.

The white spots are areas where the bleach leaked through the trays and burned the tissues. Always make sure to wipe the excess bleach from the gums after inserting the trays. Your gums should heal in 3-4 days. Good luck.
