Does laser teeth whitening work? Will it whiten crown teeth? Long term effects? Costs?

Laser whitening procedures like 'BriteSmile' are usually just a peroxide in gel form, brushed onto your teeth, then it with laser light to bleach the top layer of your teeth.
Yes it works... but instead of spending $250+ on an hour treatment, which you will have to maintain with touch ups... is really not the best value.
I recommend buying '5 Minute Whiteneing Gel' and a mouth tray... I purchase mine at Ulta.. for $5.00. Using a Q-Tip, coat your teeth and then wear the tray for 30min. Do this for a week and you will notice your teeth are 3+ shades lighter.
And NO, bleach does not whiten false teeth. They are not stained and are a permanent color.

Crest White Strips are very effective.
I just got my braces off and I've been using them.
And in two days for putting both strips on for 30 minutes, two times a day, I can totally see a difference.

If you are seeing a dentist on a regular basis they will be more than glad to answer your questions.
