Right now i have temporary acrylic crowns and i am about to receive porcylin crowns in a few weeks. I have to go to a another place where they will match the shade of my teeth to create crowns that match. The problem is a want to whiten my teeth a little bit, either by brushing more or getting them done professionaly or by using crest white strups or something i havnt decided. But the problem is i dont want to be stuck with my front fake teeth being less white because i plan to make my teeth whiter and i know that you cant whiten fake teeth. What are my options? should i just tell the shade matching people to just make teeth that are a few shades whiter? How much would it cost to later remove the permanant crowns in order to replace them with whiter ones after my teeth are whiter? What are my options? Any advice? Thanks.

You would be much better off having your teeth whitened first, then have the crowns done/shade matched. If you are still in temporary crowns, you can keep those for several weeks or even a few months depending on how well they are made. Like the other person said, if you have the final crowns done and try to whiten your teeth afterwards, they may never match; and if you were to redo the crowns just to have the shade changed, you would probably be charged full fee again (or I can't imagine your dentist would redo them for free). The fastest/easiest way would be to have your teeth whitened by your dentist, since s/he can do it in one day, then wait a week or so and have the shade matched, then have your final crowns put in. Your other teeth over time will probably get a bit darker and the crowns will not, but you can always do some touch up bleaching later if you need.
