TEETH BLEACHING-DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Dental Health Message Board

I am about one week into my at home professinal teeth bleaching kit. Oh my goodness the results are unbeliveable!!! I tried the crest whitestrips and not as white as I wanted. So I went to my dentist and paid a little under $300, and wow, my teeth are noticably whiter and brighter. And I still have about two weeks of bleaching left. I'll keep you posted in two weeks how their looking!!!

Hi. Could you please tell me which home bleaching system you are using. I just purchased Nite White Excel 3 after trying other products that claim to be "the best". I can't seem to get any accurate opinions without a sale's pitch.
Thanks

Fawn - It doesn't work on white fillings though, does it? I really need some lightening of my lower teeth, but I have had alot of work done on them over the years and have many white (well.....not so white anymore! lol) fillings.

I paid over $600 for the ZOOM office procedure and got only marginal results. My teeth have an intrinsic yellowish hue which apparently is difficult to bleach.

I did get trays for follow ups and I'm going to try Achromasia 22% before I give up. That will only set me back another $45.

MM--just a note that bleaching only works on natural tooth structure and not on tooth colored fillings, so if you were to whiten your teeth do not have the fillings replaced until after you have reached the desired whiteness.
