They work, but Dr. George's Dental White is better and cheaper and can be used over and over again. It has plastic trays that you boil that form to your teeth perfectly. It's just like the dentist, but costs less than 10 dollars for a kit.

My Dentist says that there two types of teeth in regards to brightening products:  1) those which will benefit from professional treatment by a Dentist (expensive)and 2)those that will not (but do respond to the over-the-counter brighteners.)  I have used most of the OTC brighteners as well as all the toothpastes.  My vote goes to Crest Strips, but if you are on a tight budget, Walmart has a brand for around $10.  Good luck & GOD bless.

I advise my patients to use \n\nColgate Sensation Deep Clean Whitening\n\nThis has Bicarbonate of soda in it but does not have the strong taste that Arm and Hammer has.\n\nIt is very mildly abrasive, enough that it will remove staining but not damage the enamel on your teeth.\n\nBeware of using Pearl Drops, Eucryl or other so called tooth polishes. They are too abrasive to be used regularly and make the staining worse eventually by roughening the enamel so the stain sticks all the more.\n\nIf it's any recommendation, I use this myself too!\n\np.s. Crest Whitening Strips are NOT available in the UK, the Americans have not been reading the questions again...........

Probably not, but I'm not a dentist, so don't take that literally.  Best bet would be to call your dentist and ask.  Also, I believe teeth whitening runs about $300.  \n\nI would recommend trying the Crest Teeth Whitening strips for a couple weeks and see how that goes.  That should run you around $30-40.

Be careful with those white strips.  The peroxide they use damages the tooth enamel.  I would say get Go Smile instead.  More expensive, but better results and no tooth damage.

The more expensive the product, the better it is going to be.  So, starting with the cheapest, is brushing twice a day and flossing.  The cleaner your teeth are, the whiter they are going to be.  Stay away from coffee, tea, and red wine.  Then there's whitening toothpastes, floss, and rinses.  These will give results, but not as much as whitening stips or gels.  I know a lot of people who have been satisfied with Crest Whitening Strips.  Just be careful using whitening products, because they can cause sensitivity.  So, if you already have sensitive teeth, be aware.  Many electric toothbrushes claim to make teeth whiter.  I use the Sonicare brush, and I can tell a difference.  But it's not a dramatic difference.  I notice it, but I don't know if others do.  I know the Crest Spin Brush has one with brusheads that claim to whiten teeth.  If you're looking for a real big difference in shades, then you may want to try the strips.  It seems to be the biggest improvement for the cheapest.

Depends on your teeth.  I used Crest Whitestrips for a time, and they worked really well (I definitely noticed a difference in the whiteness of my teeth).  However, they irritated my gums to the point where my dentist told me to stop using them and they made my teeth super sensitive to cold and hot (i.e. eating ice cream or drinking tea was painful).  I've never done the laser whitening/Brite Smile, but I've seen those treatments work wonders for folks who have (they are not cheap though).  I would advise trying the strips (making sure to abide by the time guidelines) - you will like the effects of them (they do really work) and if they don't bother your teeth/gums, you should be able to continue use.

I tried Crest Renewal Strips, which I got at an amazing deal on eBay (less than 25% of the retail price). They remove 20 years of stains. And they worked fabulously.

crest white strips and Listerine whitening mouthwash in between..don't get carried away with whitening though, the peroxide can damage your enamel

I hear Crest White-Strips are best if you are doing it yourself. I went to my dentist and for about $300.00 he made impressions of my teeth and for two weeks I put a whitening gel into the mouth inserts and voila!! My teeth are probably 4-5 shades whiter.

Depends on how fast you want results.  The regular Crest strips give you full results in 14 days while the Premium Crest strips give you the same results in 7 days.  The price for premium is higher though.

i agree with the dentist here. you may as well save yourself the trouble of using them in the first place. i myself have used the tray system with my dentist and it wasnt all that costly. probably the most cost effective way to get your teeth whitened with very good results. and yes no whitening technique works on any restorations (crowns, bridges, fillings etc). best thing to do is whiten then replace your restorations to match the color of your teeth after whitening. good luck

Well, I would reccommend the crest brand. If you want to know about the effectiveness of this brand, read the following paragraphs. For more info check out:\nhttp://www.animated-teeth.com/whitening_strips/a1_teeth_whitening.htm\n\nHow effective are teeth whitening strips?\nThere is simply no way to know for certain what type of whitening results will be possible with the use of any teeth whitening product. The results people experience are variable, period. This is because the teeth of any given population of people will display various types of tooth staining that has been produced by a variety of causes. As a result each of these people will have their own unique level of bleaching potential. \n\nAs you can no doubt imagine the overall effectiveness of teeth whitening products can be somewhat difficult to determine. In any given study there will be variability related to specifically which participants (by chance) got assigned to which group. In real life there will be variables not the least of which are which whitening systems are compatible with the user's lifestyle and perceptions of whitener use. Since peroxide-based teeth whitening simply seems to be one of cause and effect (the use of an appropriate whitener for an appropriate duration) it seems that compliance to the whitening system's instructions will be of paramount importance in the user's ability to obtain the whitening results they are after. \n\nThe published clinical studies we have reviewed seem to suggest that teeth whitening strips coated with 6% hydrogen peroxide whitener can be expected to provide similar whitening results as tray-based systems using a 10% carbamide peroxide whitener (a technique which at this point is generally accepted as the unofficial standard for at-home teeth whitening systems). As alluded to previously, since teeth whitening is simply a case of cause and effect, when choosing between teeth whitening strips or a tray-based system, selecting the system whose instructions you find easiest to comply with will make it more likely you will achieve the whitening results you are after. Compliance to a system is everything.

Crest Premium White strips work fairly well.  They're just a little bit of a hassle twice a day for a week.

Yes.  I've answered this question before.  Crest Whitestrips or Rembrandt both work very well.  We recommend them at the dental office that I work at.  I also use them myself.  Use them as directed and you will be pleased.

If they have Chest Whitestrips over where you are, you should try them.  There are a few different types, the main difference is the length of time that you have to use them for.  They range in price from about $20.00-$45.00 (US).  This is a lot cheaper than having your teeth professionally whitened.  The only downfall is that the effects are not permanent.  It should last about 1-2 years depending on how you treat your teeth (smoking, drinking pop, coffee, and tea all are notorious for staining your teeth)  Hope this helps a little.
