Are you the ultimate Do-It-Yourselfer (DIY) when it comes to bleaching or whitening your smile?
There are generally three kinds of teeth whitening DIYers:

In this article, you will learn how to buy direct from dental labs too, while avoiding common problems...
Often, store brands are made with a weaker concentration, or a weaker form of the whitening ingredient.
When you buy direct, you can often buy a more potent product and combine it with a custom fit, dental lab-made whitening teeth tray to get you the best results possible.
Store brands are good for new DIYers and those sensitive to the stronger ingredients.
But, experienced DIYers also know they can buy
a mineralization/desensitizing gel to better deal with the discomfort or sensitivity
from teeth bleaching. (Examples below)
But... You pull up thousands of dental labs promising to help...
How do you which one is worth your money? Keep reading below...
This is not ideal. The problem with searching for dental labs on Bing or Google is you can waste a lot of time. It can take a long time to do the research because you often get back tons of
results that have nothing to do with what you're looking for. And then, you won't have a convenient method to determine the sellers quality, level of customer service, or if they sell direct to the public (many do not). The good thing
with this method, however, is that you may be able to contact the lab
directly and ask your questions by phone. |
This is okay, but still not ideal.
The
problem with eBay is you'll also waste a lot of time and create frustration because you get a lot of suggestions that have
nothing to do with what you want.
And if you try to communicate with the seller, eBay acts as a filter. You'll probably not be able to call the lab directly by phone. And of this writing, eBay has customer satisfaction ratings for the seller in general, but not the specific product. This can be an issue, since most eBay sellers sell dozens or hundreds of products. Imagine this, you want to buy a teeth whitening kit that includes custom-made teeth trays from seller 'A,' but seller 'A' also sells hundreds of other products... You can't tell from the reviews if the 'kit' is any good. |
With their rating system you don't get a review on their individual products, which is important to you.
Even so, at least you get an indication if the seller will ship on time and hold up their end of the deal. And eBay offers some additional protections you can't get on your own, if you're not satisfied.
This makes the most sense for teeth whitening/teeth tray DIYers... Unfortunately, it has the same product search and communication problems eBay does (mentioned above). But, their rating service is more transparent, in my opinion. Like the example on the left, and on the rest of this page. When you want to buy a teeth whitening kit that includes a custom-made teeth tray from seller 'A,' you can read specific reviews on the product; not just the seller. |
This gives you important information on whether or not you may enjoy the product. Plus...
Reviewers also rate their experience working with the seller (i.e. friendly, quickly resolved my issues, fast delivery, etc.)
With Amazon's current customer review method, you get valuable feedback on both the dental lab and their whitening gel and tray kits.
That's why I feel this makes the most sense for consumers.
In the near future I plan to offer this service direct through SmileSteps.com and earning marks for service and quality.
