Bleached teeth: Does it work for heavy smokers?

How much does having teeth professionally bleached cost? Is the treatment really efective with teeth darkened by many years of being a heavy smoker?

    what really works is carbamide peroxide not the over the shelf stuff you can get medical grade from ebay they have the stuff all the way up to 35%. The carbamide peroxide that is sold over the counter for example the Rembrandt stuff is only like 10%.

    I'm sure it would make a decently drastic difference but unless your going to quit smoking or get treatments somewhat frequently, I would say it's a waste of your money becuase the smoke will stain them again. Depending on what kind of bleach treatment you get and where you get it depends on how much it will cost. If you buy the stuff from the store that you brush or stick to your teeth your askin, 20 - 50 dollars. They work pretty good and I suggest Crest. If you go to a dentist you might find it to be around a couple hundred but will unstain your teeth much better and quicker. As for the richies, laser treatment can be a couple thousand. Good luck though.

    I don't know how much professional whitening costs, but I know that crest white strips work well. They are about 25$ and can last up to 6 months. You can get them at walmart.

    no not really and it makes your teeth very sensitive specially on smokers cause you've already ruined the enamel on your teeth, id say just quit smoking but what ever people like you keep me in business, thanks

    Whitened you mean? Heard it doesn't work 100% of the time, ask your doctor.
