    Thanks for the reply, thats kinda what I thought just needed to be told by someone else!!

    I've wanted my teeth whitened for a while now but I will get myself down to a dentist...

    I know some people on here are dentists or have had this done, how much should I be looking to pay?

    Found a link.

    As for price - this salon seems to be charging as much as a dentist would.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
  • Yeah, its not really competitive at normal price.
    I charge £450-£800 depending on which way we are doing it -home whitening, surgery whitening or a combination.

    And I provide A LOT of reviews and aftercare.
    Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are usually right.
  • I am looking to whiten my teeth, for that hollywood smile:D
    I use whitener toothpaste but my teeth are still fairly stained, can anyone reccomend a good kit, and are the results worth the bother?

  • I've had my teeth whitened at Smile Studio after many years of trialing various painful, expensive and largely ineffective treatments and I can vouch for them. I was actually shocked at how white they were after my treatment and it didn't hurt at all. The staff are lovely as well. Financegirl-you're right, the dentist there treats Girls Aloud. Go try it. It's very good indeed.

    Hi everyone,

    i know there are some dentists on this form and just wondered if they could give me any thoughts on this company. It seems to have had a few celebrity endorsments and the prices look pretty reasonable. Have googled them and haven't found any negative or positive reviews either way:confused:

    I really want to get my teeth whitened as I drink a lot of diet coke and they are very stained. I can get to most places in London and live near the Home Counties area so if anyone else has any good recommendations please let me know by PM.

    Also, would be happy to hear of any other users personla experiences of teeth whitening.

    Hi,

    I just bought a teeth whitening kit from my dentist for £300 which includes:

    2 x Gum Shields moulded to be my teeth
    12 x 20% Carbamide Peroxide Syringes

    Few questions...

    1) Is it OK to leave the shields in overnight or best not too?

    2) How long should I leave it in a day? Whenever I put them in my mouth creates lots of slavia and its a bit annoying.. :

    3) Would it be better for me to buy Hydrogen peroxide syringes as I hear it is much quicker acting, which is attractive as I wouldn't need to keep them in as long.

    Any feedback would be appreciated! :)

    Hi,

    I was hoping I could get a second opinion on here! I think I have found my tolerance which is 75mins with 20% Carbamide Peroxide. Any longer and my teeth feel sensitive after...Is this normal? I can only use it every 2-3 days otherwise it really does cause my teeth to be sensitive. Any additional tips? :)

    Thanks

    My daughters friend got a job in a shop for teeth whitening. She had no experience at all but they took her on showed her what to do then left her in charge of the shop full time on her own. I was shocked!
    Thanx

    I would tell her to get out of there before she either harms someone, or gets prosecuted. If she is the one doing the treatments, she is the one that will be done.

    I think this proves what I have been saying about whitening salons.
