In office teeth whitening and clear dental work?

Question

Currently, I have two fillings on my two front teeth, (because one is chipped), a crown on the side top and a clear filling on the side bottom.

I really, really want to get my teeth whiter
by some type of in-office treatment.
So I know i'll have to get my white fillings replaced to match it.

My question is, has anyone ever done this or know how I can go about doing it?
Would I be able to get at least the two front teeth done the same day as the whitening?

How much does the in-office whitening cost?

(i already have the at home whitening, but stopped using when i got the clear front fillings.)

How long does the in office whitening take?
Does it hurt?
Is there a big difference in color or do you have to get more treatments?

Answer 1

1. Go back to using your home whitening kit. Ask for stronger solution if you feel you are not getting results.

2. When you feel your shade is as light as it can get, then get the fillings redone to match the new lighter shade.

3. In-office whitening can be as high as $650, and yes it can hurt for a few hours afterwards. I personally don't think the results are that much better than the take-home kind.

Answer 2

in-office varies - usually 300-400 bucks

depends on the doctor, if you schedule everything at once, I'm sure you could do it (though spending a whole day at a dentist office is not my idea of fun)

wouldn't worry about the crown, too far back to really see it.
