I was really surprised as I entered my neighborhood bar when my buddy called out, "dude, did you whiten your teeth?! they're freaking glowing!" that pretty much sums up how effective the strips are - and I was only on day 3!
To be objective, my teeth hurt a little when I first put them on, the type of slight pain you feel when you have cavities. I guess this is what they mean by your teeth becoming sensitive. But the pain isn't bad, and it went away after a few minutes. And also, I didn't notice a HUGE difference myself, but there definitely was a change for the better. And I guess to an outside observer, the change was noticeable.
In short, I think this stuff is awesome. I'll definitely finish it, and probably do it again at the recommended time. |

I used this product at the suggestion of my dental hygienist prior to having some dental veneers replaced. I read the reviews and I had some misgivings about using an over-the-counter product but it was fine.
The Results: I am pleased with the results. The strips lightened my teeth noticably. I do not have "chiclet" teeth, that blue white luminous shade that, frankly, looks artificial but my teeth are cleaner and whiter than before. I had my new veneers prepped today and the dentist commented that I had lightened my teeth, that they looked very nice and that the product worked well for me.
The Process: I found the product fairly easy to use after a couple of applications. There is a technique but it was easy enough to get the hang of it. The gel adhered well to the surface of the tooth and I always had a lot of gel left on my teeth when I removed the strip. From about day three to six, I found my gums and teeth a bit sensitive but I persisted and the sensation went away by the end of the ten days. I found that my lips dried out while I used the strips and it helped to apply lip balm before and after using the strips.
Some Tips: Wash your hands when you finish applying the strips so that you don't get white patches on your fingers. Rinse your mouth when you finish to reduce gum sensitivity. Find a couple of times during the day when you have enough time to concentrate on how you apply the strips. It's a small thing but I think it makes a difference to apply them well. As I said, you may want to apply something to your lips to keep them from drying out. You can anticipate some sensitivity. It was not a huge issue for me but I can see it might be for some.
The directions say that Crest Strips will not lighten dental work. It actually did lighten my old veneers a bit. However, if you have veneers that you are not planning to replace, you might not like the two-toned effect you get. So if you have cosmetic dental work, I'd suggest you ask your dentist before you try this product. |
Highly Recommend These!

These strips have done wonders for my smile. In only 4 days my teeth were amazingly white, so I quit. I'm saving the rest to touch up in 6 months.
Since I can effectively get 2 full treatments from one box I think these are an amazing value. There is really no need to get trays or Bright Smile unless you want it done faster, and want a freakishly unnatural whiteness about your teeth....almost blue looking. ;-) |
Good Stuff

| I could'nt make it through the whole pack yet because my teeth were sensitive to begin with, but they have whitened my teeth considerably. I used to be very self conscious about my teeth and now I can smile with confidence because of my white teeth. I have like 4 more worth of strips to go as well. They did make my teeth sensitive but it only lasts like a day so if your experiencing the same problem take a day off and use them like every other day. Overall it was a worthwhile investment for me and i'm very happy with the results. |
Amazing!!!

| I am using the Crest Whitestrips premium plus and they work awesomely!! I am on my third day and wow, I can already see the difference in my teeth!! They are so thin, I barely know that they are on (Besides all the extra saliva in my mouth). They kind of make my gums burn but that is all.. If u want really white teeth, then get this product!!!! |
Works like it says

| I noticed results after 3 days. They are really easy to put on and wear. My teeth got *slightly* more sensitive but that is the only drawback. My teeth look SO MUCH BETTER!! |
Crest Whitestrips are Great!

| I thought these were great! They worked well and I could wear them when I went to the grocery store or ran errands. You can talk to people while you're whitening your teeth! I would definitely use these again. My teeth are genuinely whiter than before. |
They work!

| My teeth are definitely whiter. My gums got pretty sensitive, but the sensitivity didn't last long after I was done with all the strips - maybe about 3 days. I would use them again for sure. |
Worked Great!

| I was a little worried when I first started using these whitestrips because of the reviews I read about them being painful. I have very sensitive teeth to begin with and really did not experience any severe pain. They do make your teeth slightly sensitive, but not bad (at least for me). They did make my gums sting a little when I first put them on, but again, no big deal. I saw a big difference in the color of my teeth and highly recommend them. They didn't make my teeth glowing white, but very close. I will probably do another round here in a few months. |
