I got something called NiteBright or NiteWhite or something of that sort from my dentist. They take mouldings of your teeth and then you paint them with gel and wear it over night. After 5-10 days of wearing them you're golden (or....white), thats it, thats all. It makes your teeth a little extra sensative to extreme cold and heat but that can easily be taken care of by sensative teeth toothpaste. No long term effects have come up yet that are serious, and I haven't had any problems a year or so later. They give you plenty of extra gel for touch ups every year or as needed. I think it would have cost me about $200CAD if it weren't for my dental insurance.
Forgot to add - if you use any of these products too much it will look like a bunch of chicklets in your head, but theres a line you don't have to cross between white and fake. The white is awesome, a great smile is half the battle in life!
