Does whitening teeth even out teeth coloring?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: 1) Central and lateral incisors are whiter than cuspids. 2) Edge of incisors appear dark because of translucency. 3) Usually gingival 1/3 (near gum line) of teeth are yellow.

Teeth whiteners: may help even out tooth coloration if differences caused by stains on the surface of the enamel. However some color variations are within the tooth, formed during development, or discolored by certain antibiotics, differences in thickness, or if there's a filling. Also crowns or composite fillings will not changes color with whitening
