Crest Premium Whitestrips

Pros: Whitens teeth for a month
Cons: Taste, Gum Irritation, Pain to Put on, Only temporary results, expensive

I'll admit that it has been awhile since I've visited the dentist. No, its not because I have the one portrayed by Steve Martin in "Little Shop of Horrors." It is almost impossible with my busy schedule at work and home, to even find the time to ...

Pros: whitens teeth
Cons: hurts like hell, expensive, results don't last

Talking to strangers on the street, eating an apple, living my life without constant teeth pain. These are three of my favorite things that I could not do during the hellish week that I used Crest Whitestrips. Actually, I still have three or four strips ...

Pros: It works, it's easy, affordable and no sensitivity.
Cons: Slips around sometimes, would like it to whiten a bit more.

Overall these were easier to use than what I've seen reviewed. It's pretty simple, actually and I prefer these over any other teeth whitening strips. And I've tried Listerine and the Professional Crest kind. For 28 strips (upper and lower) which would ...

Pros: Definitely whitens by at least a shade or two
Cons: Must use daily, twice for 30 minutes
Strips do not stay put

I decided that every year around my birthday, I would whiten my teeth.  I did a little research, and found that Crest Whitestrips Premium seemed to be the favorite.  These whitening strips tend to be a little pricey, so I purchased them ...

Pros: works very well, affordable
Cons: none

I have always hated the color of my teeth.  Since I was in highschool I would buy at home kits to make my teeth whiter.  I hated wearing the upcomfortable trays, but if my teeth turned out whiter I did not care.  So when Crest came out ...

Pros: Work as advertised
Relatively inexpensive
Over the counter availablilty
Cons: Somewhat messy to apply
Saliva, talking, laughing, etc. causes strips to come off

I have just finished using the Crest Premium Whitestrips but will not use them again.  I have used the Crest Classic Whitestrips in the past and will use the Classic again.  Both work as advertised.  Unless you are in a rush, the Premium strips offer no advantage that I can see and a couple disadvantages. Premium uses a more concentrated formula than Classic.  I had no sensitivity problems using Classic strips twice per day, but had to drop back to one Premium application per day, eliminating the time advange.  Occasionally, one of the strips of either product will slide off and become useless.  The Premium products contains 14 upper and 14 lower strips.  Lose one or two and you have lost 7 to 14% of the product (1 divided by 14).  Lose one of the 28 Classic strips and you have only lost 3.5% of the cleaning product.  Unless a person is under a time deadline, why buy a concentrated product you may not be able to use due to sensitivity and risk a larger potential loss of product.  Both products whitened my teeth about the same amount.  Neither product produced a white comparable to the background on this screen.
