How much does teeth whitening cost I am a smoker
Q. Hi just a few questions about some procedures im thinking of having done. firstly i was wondering how much teeth whitening is? also i was going to have my teeth whitened before but as i am a smoker and i was told not to smoke for seven days after i was put off the idea and i was wondering if the same applys with your procedure? secondly, i have a porceline coating on my two front teeth to cover up some blemishes, if i get my teeth whitened that would need replacing i think as usually these coatings can not be whitened. andi was wondering how much that would cost. and thirdly how white should i expect my teeth to go. i would be very greatful if you could get back to me on this matter
A. Teeth whitening is a very standard procedure in my practice. We use a system called Enlighten which involves home bleaching for 2 weeks followed by approx 1 hour power bleaching. Following this we recommend once a month night time bleaching to maintain your whiteness. As you smoke we cannot guarantee how long your teeth will remain whiter but if you saw the hygienist 3 monthly you should be able to maintain a good colour. The cost for this treatment is £575 . Hygienist visits at the moment are £45 per visit.
You are quite correct as far as your porcelain veneers are concerned – they would need replacing . To match these veneers to your natural teeth I charge £1200 per veneer – visit my web site and the Cerec section to see a very similar case to you where I bleached a patients teeth and placed 2 veneers on her front teeth – the veneers were completed in 1 visit using Cad/Cam Cerec dentistry techniques.
Kindest regards
Hi how long after having the teeth whiteing is it that you can smoke.
Whenever you smoke your teeth will start to stain again
