Talk to your dentist first. It can be tricky, bleaching teeth with multiple composite (tooth-color) fillings, because if you whiten your teeth first, the dentist will match the filling material to the shade of your new tooth colour. If your teeth become stained over a period of time, as teeth usually do, your fillings will appear whiter than your natural tooth colour. If you whiten your teeth after you get your fillings, then your new tooth colour will appear whiter than your new fillings.

So as I said, ask your dentist, because it depends largely on where the fillings are in your mouth.

If you care enough to whiten your teeth, please brush and floss twice daily. This will help keep your teeth whiter and you will be able to prevent future cavities.
