Can I still use them if my front tooth is a filling? My sister smashed part of it and im under 18 so i can't get a cap. It says that it only whitens natural teeth. Will it be enough to notice?? I don't want half my front tooth whiter than the other half.

Yes you can use the Crest Whitestripe. However, the strip will whiten teeth and not fillings. The shade of the filling is the shade of the filling and will only DARKEN over time. If you want to whiten your teeth but the filling material is too dark, then you may need to have the filling redone, or that crown you spoke of.

Yes you can, just keep a very close eye on the filling and tooth the tooth will restain quickly w/ a tea or coke so just watch the tooth and immediately stop when the tooth seems to be very close to the whiteness of the fill or even just a hair whiter.

If it says "only whitens natural teeth", then I wouldn't try it. Go to your dentist and ask him what you could do to get your teeth whiter. He may use a special chemical to bleach your teeth, rather than a low-grade, store-bought teeth whitening kit.
