Is it possible for a dentist to get the color right, or am I unrealistic? Anise from CT<\/p>\n<p>Anise,<\/p>\n<p>What a creative question! Thanks for submitting it to our office. There are some challenges to bleaching teeth to match your eyeballs. We&#8217;ll explain why and tell you about an alternative.<\/p>\n<h2>Whitening Your Teeth to Match Your Eyeballs<\/h2>\n<p>Whether or not a dentist can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/teeth-whitening\/\">bleach your teeth to match your eyeballs<\/a> depends on the whiteness of your eyeballs. Although it\u2019s possible, there is a limit to how white a dentist can bleach your teeth. A dentist can whiten your teeth but not predict if they will lighten enough for your goal.<\/p>\n<h2>An Alternative to Bleaching<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_745\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-745\" class=\"size-full wp-image-745\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/teeth-whitening-trays-lowell-ma.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of teeth whitening trays in a case, for information on DIY teeth whitening from Lowell, MA dentist Dr. Michael Szarek.\" width=\"350\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/teeth-whitening-trays-lowell-ma.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/teeth-whitening-trays-lowell-ma-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teeth whitening might not whiten your teeth enough to match your eyeballs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s easier to manipulate porcelain and get a good color match than to rely on teeth whitening. That\u2019s why dentists who do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-veneers\/\">combination of whitening and porcelain veneers<\/a> for patients with dark teeth will complete the whitening first. After the whitening stabilizes, a cosmetic dentist works with a ceramist to match the veneers perfectly to your whitened teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Look for an advanced cosmetic dentist in your area and schedule a consultation to discuss the changes you want to make with your tooth color. The dentist will explain your options and what you can expect with teeth whitening vs. porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\">Michael Szarek, DMD, an accredited cosmetic dentist in Lowell, MA<\/a>, sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it would be cool to get my teeth bleached to match the color of my eyeballs.
