I had my teeth whitened some time ago. Nothing wrong with them really, but tea drinking is a killer to teeth. So I went for whitening in the US, at BriteSmile, that was recommended by my Dermatologist. Just took an appointment on the first day of a 2 days layover, to have it done the following day. The whole thing lasts approximately 2 hours.

I was quite tired of going for painful cleaning sessions every 6 months at my dentist's because of my tea drinking. So I went for whitening after deciding to quit drinking tea and Coke (never drank coffee) altough not red wine, which are the things that stain your teeth the most. No point on having it done if you are still drinking staining stuff, since you would have to do it all over again every 2 years, which would damage your teeth and gums.

I think I paid around 500$ (there was a Valentine's Day promotion, otherwise it's around 600$), which seemed like a good price compared to the local dentists' prices where I live).
