If you have a filling on your front teeth and you want to get them whitened...your whole tooth not just that part...what can you do so that your teeth will not come out 2 different shades.
--------------------
Is your filling clear or silver? I've had mine done by a dentist making custom trays and using a gel syringe full of bleach/peroxide stuff at night, which was actually at too high a strength I thought because my teeth hurt so bad the days after I do it, but whatever it was worth it. I have several (clear) fillings and neither my dentist nor I didn't even think about that when discussing the bleaching, so apparently it is not a problem at all. I had no problems whatsoever with variations in tooth shades and again have several clear fillings. So I don't think it is a problem. Usually your fillings are up inside the tooth where no one can see them too. But I had no problems. I highly recommend having a dentist make custom impressions of your teeth for fitted trays and using the gel nightly until your doses have run out. It's worked fabulously for me and touch-ups are so easy! From what I've heard about Zoom from my dentist, research and people who have had it, it was a decent but not glowing experience and results either not turning out well or quickly fading. My dentist said he didn't want to buy the machine because it was only a "quick fix" since it didn't get to the root of the discolorations like the bleaching night-after-night-after-night does. Which made sense to me and made me realize that I did want the nightly trays instead of BriteSmile, which I'd wanted to begin with. Also, as far as the bleaching strips go (I've tried them as well), bag that. They DO NOT stay on. At least not on me. They slipped off and were just a mess and waste of $40. So if you're serious about a quality whitening that will last, go to your dentist for trays & Opalescene whitening gel (the brand I used & seems to be the standard). For the impressions and 8 syringers it cost me $300. The most expensive portion of that fee is for the dental impressions to make your mouth trays out of. After your first whitening, a couple months down the road (3-4 if you drink coffee/Coke or smoke; 6 if you don't) you can buy refills for the Opalescene gel online at a great price (I think about $30 for a 6-pack). Definitely go the tried and true professional route. Please feel free to email me if you have any more questions. Good luck to ya!
