I have new bridges front top and bottom and I would like to lighten the
teeth next to the bridges. I have never tried a whitening "kit" found in
stores and have no idea which one to purchase. Which type works the fastest
with the least hassle etc? TIA.

In office treatment is the fastest.  You get result in a single visit.
But relatively more expensive.

Take home bleaching kit from dentist is another option.  You will
usually see result after week.  Bleaching longer until you reach the
shade you want.

I have no experience with over the counter kit.

> Wy does the porcelain of your new bridge-work not match the shade of your natural teeth. Certainly the adjacent teeth may be lightened using a home bleaching kit or directly in the surgery. If you have outlaid funds for your bridges but are unhappy with the shade you should discuss this with your dentist. If he/she is reasonable I am sure that he/she would be prepared to help for no charge; I know I would. The in office bleaching kits I use cost about £40 per patient to buy. On top of this we charge for one hour of time to apply. Home bleaching kits cost a little mor as individual trays have to be made. These cost about £20 to make.Very large amounts of money are made by individuals offering this service. Some practices in my area are quoting upwards of £600 for this service which is a total rip off. I hope this advice is of help.

Thank you for the reply. I was at one time planning to have the two teeth
next to the lower bridge crowned so the whole lower will look the same. But
now I have decided to look into bleaching these two teeth to see if it will
make me happy. I my dentist had made the lower bridge to match the color of
the upper bridge and it looks great. It's just these two teeth I am worried
about.

You probably won't get an exact match, as bleaching is not that
predictable, but if it's good enough for you...
If you try an OTC product, go with a well-known, respectable brand.

Regards,
George
