hi many thanks for your post, the first thing to mention is that with any good quality whitening procedure there should be a provision for maintainance.

So with all whitening treatments done at my clinic Kissdental, we always provide a home kit which allows you to top up your whitening experiance when you feel the colour is starting to fade, for some people this can be very soon within a three month period due to the diet they have, ie drinking coffee and smoking heavily. or it can be every twelve months. This ensures that all you need to pay for is some extra solution if you want to top up your colour and not the whole treatment again.

there are many whitening treatments on the market but if your teeth are heavily stained and yellow a very predictable treatment would be to have an in house whitening procedure such as zoom whitening and then follow this up with a home whitening treatment such as enlighten. the full cost of this treatment varies from practice to practice but could be anything from £700 to £900.

So to summarise. if you are going to have the treatment done again make sure the treatment comes with a follow up home kit and the whitening toothpastes unfortunately dont really work so better to stick with what does.

hope this has been helpful.
