Unfortunately, not every can get the results they want. It all depends on what colour your tooth and it's stain is. Typically, if people have "greyish toned" stain before the treatment, it doesn't work very well and your dentist should have told you this ahead of time. If you have "yellowish toned" stain it usually works better. But the difference between grayish and yellowish stain is VERY subtle and you might not have known the difference without the advice of a professional. You shouldn't have to go back for another treatment especially if it's a one time treatment. I would still go back and tell them you're not happy with your results, they may be able to offer you different treatment.
How bad were they?
some people's teeth just aren't paper-white. any dentist will tellya, it's bassed on nutrition AND heredity
ha ha You got gyped
I'd ask the dentist. Either your expectations were too high, your teeth were very discolored, or you got gipped.
Next time go to a certified oral surgeon.

$500 is an awful lot for bleaching. It does not make your teeth perfectly white and you may need more than one treatment. No, your teeth will not get whiter over time, what you see now is what you get. Go back to the same dentist and ask for a 2nd treatment for about $100. He should do it if he/she is a good dentist.
When you get your teeth bleached, they tend to turn an ugly gray color a few days after the process is done. If you are still unhappy with the results, talk to your dentist. Depending on what type of bleaching he/she did, they can let you know if your teeth needed another treatment due to excessive yellowing.
One thing that can help is finding a lipstick color which makes your teeth look whiter. That is usual a color close to the color of your gums, but not always.
Another thing is some people are given instructions after their bleaching to avoid food with any color in it after the process is done. Did your dentist give you do's and don'ts for after the treatment?
Other types of bleaching (whitening) work dramatically, like ZOOM, which is used on Extreme Makeover.
If your dentist won't return your calls for information, then find a new dentist who gives better service. Your teeth's health can actually be an indicator of likelihood of getting heart disease. Some studies suggest it is because of a certain bacteria that lives in poorly taken care of mouths. Others think it is that people who value dental cleanings also value their health enough to do proactive things to stay healthy.
I wouldn't pay another $500. I'd buy some Simply White. One package of it should get your teeth white within 15 days. You'll want to buy the box that contains the pre-treating rinse and tray that holds the bleach against your teeth without having to worry about if your teeth are completely covered.
It really depends on what shade your teeth were before. Not all teeth bleach the same nor will everyone walk out with chicklet white teeth. Teeth that have a natural yellow tint to them tend to bleach easier and get the best results. Teeth that have a natural gray tint to them do not bleach very well. In the first 12-24 hours you teeth may lighten up a tiny bit more but don't expect it. If you have had any crowns or white fillings on the teeth that were bleached they will NOT whiten at all.
I'm sorry your not happy with your results but your dentist and hygienist should have explained things a little better to you. You can use over the counter whitening stripes like the ones by Crest and use to see if you can get them any whiter.
