How can i whiten my crowns?
Sorry, you can;t whiten a crown. Unfortunately some crowns are made of gold or part gold part other precious metal, which obviously can't be whitened. White crowns, or porcelain crowns are baked porcelain, which is a set color that goes down the entire depth of the crown. Your natural teeth whiten because bleaching removes stain on your teeth, the crowns can't whiten, because their color is intrinsic to the material that they are made of. In order to whiten a crown you need to replace it.

My friend suggested that I'll have my dentist get me an all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns' What do you think' Should I proceed with that or can I just get a metal crown instead?
All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
