how much is the laser whitening cost? is it a permanent removal?gf wrote:hi... the laser whitening system (usually zoom) does work. of course the effect varies amongst different patients but generally most ppl get a good result they are satisfied with. you might not need whitening if the stains are due to smoking though. prob can clean the stains off with various materials.sundaymorningstaple wrote:bt1,
I have heard the same thing. Especially when using the laser method. Don't know the method has been refined or not recently. I quit smoking 3 years ago and would have liked to do it as well but for the anecdotal stories.
hi just to answer some qns:aadvark wrote:was in bangkok in dec and enquired at a few dental clinics.
there are 2 prevailing systems - laser teeth whitening and britesmile
laser teeth whitening costs abt SGD 500, while Britesmile is around SGD 800-900. I was told that Britesmile can achieve more shades of whiteness, and will be less likely to cause sensitvity.
price still a bit steep for me. i remember the last time i went dentist, he used a whitening gel that cost around $50 and it lasted somewhere between 4-6 mths... will stick to that for now

I heard that bad breath actually has little to do with your oral hygiene, rather it is due to indigestion, is that true?

hi thanks for the reply. i had rather go for a whitening gel instead. cost cheaper per month. see the post abovegf wrote:hi mikedirnt,MikeDirnt wrote:how much is the laser whitening cost? is it a permanent removal?gf wrote: hi... the laser whitening system (usually zoom) does work. of course the effect varies amongst different patients but generally most ppl get a good result they are satisfied with. you might not need whitening if the stains are due to smoking though. prob can clean the stains off with various materials.
laser whitening would cost anywhere between 800-1200 SGD.
no its not permanent but usually the effects lasts for 3 - 5 yrs.
if u work it out, that works out to be around 200 plus per yr or about 20 dollar a month.
pretty worth it for a beautiful smile right?
no lei, it was def britesmile more expensive than lasergf wrote:hi just to answer some qns:aadvark wrote:was in bangkok in dec and enquired at a few dental clinics.

the prices you quoted are quite different from sg. u are rite that its usually either laser whitening (zoom) or brite smile.
one uses laser, the other uses chemicals.
usually laser whitening is more expensive than britesmile though.
laser costs 800-1200, depending on where you go.
brite smile is ard 600. maybe you got it mixed up?
the whitening gel u mentioned merely sticks on the tooth surface.
its like a coat around the tooth and doesn't whiten the tooth intrinsically.
as expected its not that great cuz when you haf bits flaking off after some time, it looks weird.
oh... guess you're rightaadvark wrote:no lei, it was def britesmile more expensive than lasergf wrote:hi just to answer some qns:aadvark wrote:was in bangkok in dec and enquired at a few dental clinics.
