too superificial?

is anyone getting their teeth bleached professionaly for the big day? my dentist does it for only 300 bucks....and that would be a truly unecessary expense with so much to pay for now. but i was considering it. what do you all think?

Re: too superificial?

I have already done it in the past, but if I hadn't...I would.
If it makes you feel better on your day, then why not.....$300 is a GREAT price!

Re: too superificial?

No I definitely don't think that superficical if you can afford to do it. I wanted to but my dentist charges more than $300 & I dunno if we can swing that extra w/other things to pay for. But he did recommend those white strips & so far they're working great!

Re: too superificial?

Wow, for $300 I would definitely do it. My dentist charges almost three times that, and I'm still trying to justify the price. I think I'll end up doing it, since the results will last well beyond my wedding day, and it is something that I've wanted to do for a while now.

Re: too superificial?

I am!! My teeth are very white now but i will want one more visit with my dentist before the big day!

Re: too superificial?

i havent tried the whitestrips...i did the brush on and it did work...but not as much as id like. maybe ill try the whitestrips first. are they annoying?

Re: too superificial?

Maybe I've gotten used to them but they don't annoy me. Have to wear them for 30 min. 2x day, & I usually do it somewhere/sometime nothing is going on, like on the train to/from work or like when I'm online or something. They don't even taste as horrible as I expected.

Re: too superificial?

I think i'm doing brightsmile. They quoted me 170 bucks and it takes under an hour!

Re: too superificial?

I did a bleaching system from my dentist too for 300...it was easy an hour every night and came out awesome! All I have to do is touch up a week before the wedding!

Re: too superificial?

I'd love too, but not sure where I could fit that into the budget, so it will probally be white stripes for me!

Re: too superificial?

i'm going to use the white strips. my brother used them and his teeth look great.

Re: too superificial?

Not too superficial! I'm thinking about having them done before the wedding too. I've tried the crest strips and they worked! it's just a pain in the a s s doing it twice a day for 1/2 hour for 2 weeks straight!

Re: too superificial?

If I had the extra $300 bucks I would DEFINITELY do it. For now it's Crest white strips for me.

Re: too superificial?

I'm getting mine done at my dentists office in queens...he is charging $325. he doesn't use that brite smile stuff that i have seen advertised on here...he says that causes tooth sensitivity and other problems...also no harsh lighting.

be careful of dentists that do the laser whitening also...it weakens your teeth!

Anyway...if you need info let me know

Re: too superificial?

thanks annie! i think i will do it..closer to my wedding though in feb. ill fish up the extra bucks!

Re: too superificial?

I will definatley do this

Re: too superificial?

No way, I don't think it's superficial at all. Like someone else said, do what will make you feel good.
