Whitening of teeth?

I've heard that if you have implants or bridges ( in the front of your mouth ) that it is not good to have the whitening process ( from the dentist or over the counter ) done, due to the implant or bridge will not change in color. Is this correct ?? If not, what do you think would work ?
Answer:
Yes this is correct. Only your natural enamel will change color. Its not bad for you to do this, it will make the bridge, implant or any other prosthetics stand out. That is why a patient should always be give the option to whiten prior to the crown, bridge, implant, restoration being placed.
Unfortunately, nothing will work :(
You would be correct, only your natural teeth will whiten.
