How many days after teeth whitening should I get my dentist to colour match a new crown? (Photo)

Asked By:atw9 in New Zealand, NZ

How long does it take for teeth colour to settle after whitening? I'm getting one crown fitted on a front tooth that recently had a root canal after injury. I have started the process of whitening the rest of my teeth from my dentist (take-home kit, 22% Opalescence), and I plan to do this for one week (2hrs/day). How many days AFTER teeth whitening is ideal for my dentist to prepare the crown to colour match my newly whitened teeth? I don't want a mismatched crown, they're expensive to replace!
