So you might be wondering how much it costs to bleach your teeth? Teeth Whitening Cost depends on quite a few factors.
First, the amount of money you spend on teeth whitening will be determined by the method you choose. Typically over the counter whitening products are the least expensive. They include boil'n'bites, white strips, whitening pens or anything that you can by at the store. Their effectiveness and ability to whiten safely and evenly, though, may be problematic and you may end up spending a lot of money on products that don't give satisfactory results. Over the counter products usually cost under $100.
Custom whitening trays with whitening gel are used more widely by dentists than by any other whitening method. The cost ranges anywhere from $100-$500. The trays are made custom to fit your teeth in order to get the most even and safe whitening possible. Though this method produces professional results, the process takes time and many people experience tooth sensitivity. You can buy professional bleaching trays online direct from a lab for at least 1/2 the cost as your dentist.
Next, your dentist may offer something called laser whitening or "Power Bleaching". This procedure lasts approximately 1 hour and is performed by the dentist. A special whitening gel is placed on your teeth and a laser activates the gel, causing the teeth to whiten quickly. This method is attractive because of the time, but it is the most expensive whitening procedure, and may not whiten your teeth to their full capacity, thus requiring you to use custom trays and gel for a few days after. Laser whitening costs an average of $650.
Some malls are now offering laser whitening for a fraction of the cost your dentist charges. This procedure may not be appealing as it requires you to assist in the process rather than allow the dentist to "do all the work". Also, there is some question as to the safety of this method.
So now that you know all about Teeth Whitening Cost, you will be able to make the best decision for you and your new smile!
