Britesmile- Anyone tried it?

Wow, this should be good. Cool.

 

I had it done in January before my wedding... six shades brighter in about 1.5 hours. My teeth got a little sensitive after the second application, but no big deal. Interestingly, I had it done in Denver, but had priced the procedure in Honolulu because I was moving. It was almost half as much in Hawaii. I told this to the Denver office and they gave me the reduced price after I told them I would just get it done when I got to HI. They really try to sell you on the toothpaste/gels/etc... which is obviously where the profits are for them.

the only bad part about it was that I couldn't eat or drink anything dark for 24hours. All I had was rice and Sprite!

Nine shades is a HUGE jump, and I imagine it would only happen to someone with REALLY BAD teeth..

It was worth it, because I love coffee, and my teeth were showing it.

 

Just went once to their office. Each application of gel is about 20minutes long, then they clean off your teeth, and re-apply the gel. So, I had four application of gel that day. Maybe one shade towards original after 3 months. I didn't buy any of their stuff, but i do brush 3 times a day with the generic whitener paste. I did brush with their paste before and after the procedure, and i liked it, I just didn't feel like spending so much that day. You can but the paste anytime though. Online or thru their stores. Care afterwards, is stay away from foods that stain (yeah right) and avoid saliva build-up on your teeth (with their paste and gel pen). Neither of which I do. Still pretty brite.

four to five hundred sounds about right.

 

I had it done about six months ago, and theres been a little fade, but they're much much whiter than they were. I had pretty yellow teeth naturally before, and in pictures now my teeth are clearly the whitest. However, I am thinking about having it done again soon. I bought the toothpaste and stuff, I think its a waste of money, and wouldn't buy it again. However, all in all, it was some of the best money I've spent. I think I payed around three or four hundred for it in Georgia, plus a hundred or so for the toothpaste, molds and whitening gel.

 

I have been thinking about doing this as well. Since I just saw my dentist last week, and forgot to ask him, wondering if anyone on here may know the answer to this silly question.

My front top two teeth are fake/have been capped. The cap is right at the gum line. This was due to a skate board accident when I was 8. Curb, meet teeth, teeth curb. Well, the curb liked the teeth more then teeth liked me. So wondering, will the fake teeth change colours as well?

TIA~

 

My Mom was told that should could not have the treatment because of a front cap. Not sure why though...

 

Yeah, they matched when the teeth were made permanet. That was what I was afraid of. Oh well....

 

Ahhh, just use white-out, and take some deep breaths while your're at it. You wont know the difference in color (for a few minutes anyway...)

 

What does this procedure do the enamel on your teeth.
Are you reducing the life of your teeth!?
Is this at like polishing the paint on your car.....after a while its bare metal???

Had it done a couple of years ago. It really works well. $500.

 

Actually, about the caps, I'm not sure. The tooth on either side of my two front teeth were too small, so they were built up with some sort of plastic. They bleached right with the real teeth, and I can't even tell the difference. Find out first, I suppose.

 

i was thinking about getting it done. My dentist told me about it 20 minutes after he finished putting in a color matched filling on the corner of one of my front teeth. He said that the filling would not lighten so I would need to get it done again.

 

I haven't heard of that treatment before......but I did use CREST "Whitestrips" for 14 days and was very impressed with the difference.....FWIW......
