I've had an unsatisfactory experience with Dramatic Smiles. The package I ordered had one less syringe than advertised. Their only contact is email - no phone number. I've sent several emails and have received the same four(4) automatic responses: "Thank you for contacting Dramatic Smiles. We have received your message and will respond to it soon." Well "soon" has still not arrived. With an M.O. like this, they must exist on new business because they certainly are not cultivating repeat customers.

The first time I had the dentist make the trays and bought Opalescence from him also. I think it was about 200.00 maybe for the trays and whitener... then I found the Opalescence on Amazon for a fraction of the price the dentist sells it for. Once you whiten them you just use it occasionally to keep them white. It helps with the sensitivity if you don't leave them in for a long time and it's not really necessary, 30-45 minutes Is plenty of time. Opalescence comes in a couple different strengths so if you tend to have sensitive teeth buy the milder strength. Be sure to store the unused whitener in the refrigerator. Perhaps you could get a dentist to just make the trays and not buy the whitener from him, just order it off the internet. also remember, it just takes a drop of the whitener, don't just load the tray up, it would be a waste and could cause gum irritation. I squirt out a small amount on the bottom front part of each tooth in the tray, when you put the tray in the whitener will spread onto the surface of your teeth.

Thanks, Marcopolo5. I have a three-tooth bridge (right front tooth and back). All my lower front teeth are 'mine'. Orthodontist pulled my four 'corners' in the old, dark days when they did that sort of thing. (Consequence being teeth tilting as I age.) I also have three of my four wisdom teeth. (Fourth never came through and is not visible on X-ray.) Then there are the gold inlays, onlays, etc. I've been a 'gold mine' for dentists over my almost-75 years, but I can still *chew*. I see two 'brands' mentioned here: Crest and Plus White. May I presume to ask further free advice about what to try?

Have you discussed teeth whitening with your dentist? A good option is to have custom whitening trays made by your dentist and then to purchase the bleach to apply to the trays. You have many choices on when/how to wear the trays. A big benefit is that once you have the trays you can whiten a couple of times per year, usually after your cleaning appointments. I am currently whitening my teeth and it only takes a few nights of wearing the trays to see dramatic improvement. I am a dental hygienist and have seen every option available. The custom trays are the best, IMO.
