500 dollars to bleach teeth white worth it?

Answer 1

The whole answer as to whether or not it is worth it lies within you.

If it would make you feel more confident about your appearance, and more satisfied with how you look, it may be well worth it to you.

As long as your expectations are realistic (you know that it will give you white teeth and a more attractive appearance, not a different personality and tons of new friends), and if it's something that's really been bugging you, why not go for it?

Well worth it if you can finally smile all the way with new confidence, right? :-)

Answer 2

It depends. This may sound weird, but it is true. I have been told by my very knowlegable dentist that there are no more than five colors in tooth enamel, and you can have a varied combination of some or all the colors. The colors are: White, Yellow, Brown, Red, and Gray. Unfortunately, I have all five colors in my teeth. He told me that if I had my teeth professionally whiten, which he can do, that it would bring out the gray in my teeth rather than the white, because of my color combination. When he placed a crown on my two of my teeth, a cuspid and bicuspid, that were next to each other towards the front of my mouth, he had the lab tech who makes the crowns come to the office to match my tooth color color becuase it is so unusual. I refrain from drinking tea amd coffee too much, and I do not use tobacco products. I drink a lot of water every day which I had to force myself to become accustomed to, but my health is better and my teeth look pretty good. I now crave water rather than other unhealthy drinks. I was told thath the best option for me if I decide to do whitten my teeth is to have them bonded. Some over the counter products are too abrasive so read your labels carefully if you decided to go that route. Actually the best teeth whitener is baking soda and peroxide. Swish your mouth with a little diluted peroxide and then brush you teeth with baking soda, and get your teeth cleaned once every four months. It can really make a differencel Also, I have seen people who have whiten their teeth and they stick out like a sore thumb because they are too white. It looks really weird, especially if they have a dark tan. I live in Florida, so I see a lot of that. Hope this helps! Sandra

Answer 3

Way too much money!! Is your dentist quoting you that? If so, try another dentist! The white strips work well, from what I have been told... But also know that having a dentist give you at home treatments to bleach your teeth would work better.. I suppose it depends on how many treatments you would need to make your teeth white? Do you have dirty stains on your teeth?
after you get whatever bleached, you may want to try to use a tooth paste with baking soda in it. That is the best way to keep your teeth naturally white and you wont have to keep bleaching. I cannot bleach, because I have a fake tooth in the front of my mouth. I always try to use tooth paste with baking soda as an ingredient, and always get compliments on how white my teeth are...
good luck.

I think having white teeth makes ALL the difference in your appearence. But 500 dollars is WAY too much. Try crest-white strips. I have used them. They really do work if you do it twice a day like they tell you. Probably not as well as bleaching them but they still work really well, you can tell after the first application.

Answer 5

It extremely relies upon on what shade your the teeth have been earlier. no longer all the teeth bleach the comparable nor will anybody walk out with chicklet white the teeth. the teeth that have a organic yellow tint to them tend to bleach much less complicated and get the final outcomes. the teeth that have a organic gray tint to them do no longer bleach ok. interior the 1st 12-24 hours you the teeth could loosen up a tiny bit greater yet do no longer anticipate it. in case you have had any crowns or white fillings on the the teeth that have been bleached they gained't whiten in any respect. i'm sorry your no longer pleased with your outcomes yet your dentist and hygienist ought to have defined issues a sprint greater effective to you. you ought to use over the counter whitening stripes like those with the aid of Crest and use to work out in case you will get them any whiter.

Answer 7

Start small first. Try a whitening toothpaste and Crest WhiteStrips. If your teeth aren't at the level you'd like them to be, then I would talk to your dentist about bleaching your teeth. Remember: bleached teeth require high maintenance, so things like coffee and soda are out if you want to maintain the white color.

Answer 8

I don't think so. Nobody even looks at your teeth when you talk or whatever...and it'll probably wear off anyway. It's pretty stupid if you ask me. I don't care what color my teeth are, and I certainly wouldn't spend 500 dollars on it, that can be spent on things that are actually useful to you.

Answer 9

No, I don't think so.
What people don't realize is that alone if you brush your teeth 3 times daily, they'll be a lot whiter than if you only brush them once.
Still sceptical? I would reccomend white strips. The impact is not as powerful as advertised, but they do work.

Answer 10

I think that is a little steep... maybe $200-$300 (and that's pushing it) but I think $500 is way too much.
