crest whitening strips....do they work for you?

Question

my question is....do you have bonded front teeth or fillings in your front teeth and do you have any positive results with using whitening strips?

Answer 1

Any type of whitening product you use will not increase the whiteness of any thing in your mouth other than your natural teeth. Bonding agents and "tooth colored" fillings are going to remain the same color as they always have been. The only way to get everything to match is to go through the bleaching process to a color you are happy with and then have your dentist re-do all the plastics to match the color. After that has happened, it is up to you to bleach regularly to maintain the coloration of choice.

Crest Whitening Strips are just as good, if not better than anything you can get over the counter. I would recommend the Premium or Professional Strips if this is your method of choice. Consult you Dentist for other more comprehensive whitening options such as trays or the ZOOM process.

Answer 2

I have had great results with Crest Whitestrips Supreme which you can buy at dentist.net but cannot buy in retail stores. I had my teeth professionally whitened by my dentist before having porcelain bonding, crown and bridgework done. The above mentioned strips are great for maintenance and will remove stains from your bonding but, of course, cannot whiten beyond the original color. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer 3

I had the dentist use a whiter color to do my bonding and front fillings so that when I bleach I get better results since bonding/fillings dont bleach.

Answer 4

yes, the white strips work quite nicely. Towards the end of the week though, my gums always start to hurt, so I stop using them when that happens.

Answer 6
