Do crest whitening strips work for whitening teeth?

Yes: Your local dentist will have other options as well. I would have your dentist see you first. If you have crowns or fillings that are visible in the front you may want to stay pat.

Yes: They do work, but not as good as a professional whitening at a dentist office.

Yes, but...: They work but commonly cause tooth and gum sensitivity ranging from mild to severe. I would recommend using a desensitizing toothpaste before and during the use of the strips. Brush before applying the strips.

See Dentist: If you have deep intrinsic or tetracycline stains, you may want to try something other than white strips.

Yes: Crest strips work well if you want just a shade or two change. Usually if you want a major change, a lot stronger concentration would be needed, which are only available professionally. Ask your dentist what would work best for your specific mouth.

Depends: For best and most predictable results, whitening should be done under the guidance of your dentist, who can also help you with questions or problems. Crest does make a special strength strip that is dispensed only by dental offices. They work better than commercially available strips.
