i dont knwo about the whitening teeth but i can help you with the pimple part..
i actually went to a laser place the other day and they doctor talked to me about my acene and how much it cost and etc, so i am gonna tell you what she said to me..
so ther is this "new" thing out called Blue something sorry i 4got. anyways. what you do is the laser your face and you cant see light for 48 hours. and you go every month for 5 months and your face is supposed to get better but it all depends on how bad your acene is. and where you go to get it done. every place charges different but it goes from 300-500 depending on how many vists you need and were you go.

Plastic surgery is a really drastic measure. So before you start to consider resorting to that, please consider some of the other options and/or possibilities.
For example, for teeth whitening:
-There are various forms of Crest Whitening Strips. They even have a new line out that's age lifting. It is suppose to be able ot take up to 20 years of stains off. Although, it is not a professional measure, many people have had great results with Crest. They are availale at your local drug or grocery store for about 20-30 dollars. The key is to stick with it for maximum results.
-DO NOT waste your time or money on an infomercial based product like IonicWhite. They turn out to be very ineffective. This is also available at local drug stores like Walgreens and runs you about 20 dollars.
-At the dentist office, they offer a 30 minut procedure called ZOOM whitening. It is about 300 dollars and is not covered by your dental insurance. It does have excellent results though. It can make you gums sensitive though.
-Another option via your dentist would be Take-home-whitening trays. That price range is about 175 dollars. You take the trays home and sleep with them I believe, results are still attained just not as fast. Again, sensitivity to the gums does occur.
As far as treating pimples and/or ance:
The possibilities for this are endless.
Depending on the severity of your condition, options will vary.
If you are experiencing a few pimples here and there you want to go for a topical cream. If it's not that major, try something over the counter. (Ex: Acne Face Wash)
-If it is something that is VERY habitual you should most likely seek information from a dermotologist. They would be able to best perscribe something for your particular case. Antibiodicts are also an option.
-Pills like Retin-A-Micro and Acutane are very dangerous and cause extreme redness and peeling and should generally only be used in extreme situations. They have a lot of side effects.
-You may want to mention a common topical cream like BenzaClin. It's really booming on the market right now for acne.
-If that route doesn't work or appeal for you, or in addition you can resort to an Acne Treatment Facial. I must warn you though, they can be extremely painful and costly. You have to keep up with them and depending on where you go (Most licensed upsale Salon and Spas have registered skinticians (sp) for this) it can cost you upwards from 80 dollars each time.
-Another approach via a salone is a treatment called Micro-Derm-Abraission, (sp). Again, it is painful. It is basically removing your top layer of skin via small rocks. It's like sand papering your face basically. It does work well though, but like with the facial, you have to keep it up.
Lastly, I just want to say a lot of these are last resort remedies. I know beauty things can be frustrating at times, but sometimes these things clear up on their own. Also, in no way am I a doctor so please consult with someone before you make any rash decisions. Best of luck. :)
EDIT/ADD ON: Although I did not concentrate on the topic of plastic surgery I just want to make it apparent that I didn't because it is such a drastic measure for really commom occurances. Also, it is often times you can see a plastic surgeon for treatments like Microderm Abrassion. :)
