Will my crown whiten too?

No. Its shade stays the same, which may create a mismatch.

What if my teeth are sensitive?

Tell your dentist before starting so the approach can be adjusted.

Can every tooth reach the same shade?

No. Tooth structure, stain type and existing dental work affect the response.
