My teeth are yellow and my new fillings are white. Can I bleach my teeth to match my fillings?

When I went to the dentist he put in white fillings to cover the dark brown ugly decay that showed in the front of my mouth when I spoke or smiled. Now I%26#039;m noticing a two-tone color on each tooth. The bottom of my teeth are white (where the dentist filled the decay) and the top of the teeth are my natural color ....quite yellow. The white part of the filling does looks nice - but you see the filling line. Is it possible for me to bleach my natural teeth to match the fillings? Has anyone tried BriteSmiles? Has anyone had this happen? Can this be done? Please help. Thanks!

Professional teeth whitening refers to a technique where a whitener is applied to your teeth by your dentist in their dental office. In contrast, at-home teeth whitening is a process where the dental patient takes the bleaching materials home with them and performs their bleaching treatments on their own, unsupervised.





At-home teeth bleaching typically requires that the product user performs whitening treatments each day, over a series of weeks. In comparison, the number of professional teeth bleaching treatments that are performed is typically much fewer in number, possibly even as few as one. It has been suggested that, as a ballpark estimate, one hour of in-office whitening treatment can produce the same whitening effect as one to two weeks of at-home tray-based whitening.





The teeth whitening system that is best for you can depend on factors such as: the amount of time you have available, your temperament, and how much money you have to spend.


Some advantages and disadvantages of at-home teeth whitening:





The dental patient must be capable of performing and complying with the whitening system%26#039;s technique and instructions.





The person must have the time and inclination to perform the whitening treatments.





It can take some weeks or even months before the final results are seen with at-home systems.





At-home teeth whitening products usually cost less than professional teeth bleaching treatments.





Some advantages and disadvantages of professional teeth whitening:





The whitening effect is seen immediately.





The whitening is accomplished in just a few appointments (possibly even just one).





Professional teeth whitening usually costs more than at-home teeth whitening products.





Professional teeth whitening: The procedure.


A) The dentist will evaluate the patient%26#039;s pre-whitening treatment tooth shade.


B) The dentist will isolate those teeth being whitened.


C) Eye protection and a bib covering are placed on the patient.


D) The dentist applies the peroxide whitening gel onto the surface of the teeth.


E) Optional: The dentist exposes the tooth whitener to an %26quot;activating%26quot; light or laser.


F) The tooth whitener is left on the teeth for a prescribed period of time.


G) The whitening treatment is terminated.


H) The dentist will determine the post bleaching shade of the teeth.


I) Optional: The dentist performs a fluoride treatment.


J) Optional: An at-home teeth whitening system is sent home with the patient.


How much can the professional teeth whitening treatments provided by a dentist cost?





Here is a ballpark cost range for what a dentist might charge for a single professional teeth whitening treatment. In some cases more than one treatment might be needed.





$600 to $2000


Try to pick the best dentist, not the best whitening system.
Reply:You need a professional bleaching to match them
Reply:Yes you can! You have various options..BriteSmiles or Zoom are in-office bleaching.(Done in a dental office for an hour).


Bleaching with trays that was done for you by your Dentist.(Done at home). Or the best over the counter bleaching is Crest Strips....All of these method should work for you.Obviously, the fastest, strongest concentration, most effective are the first two choices, But if money is of concern, I would definitely try on the latter. Good luck whichever method you choose.It should work......
