Teeth Whitening – Cost & Methods

The advancement in the field of modern dentistry has led to the emergence of various treatments that are considered boons in today’s time. Here at Long Falls Dentistry, we often come across questions related to the cost of undergoing teeth whitening treatment.

Keeping this in mind, we decided to post a blog that will cover all the information related to the price to be paid for the whitening of teeth. Special emphasis has also been laid to make you aware of the different types of teeth whitening methods that can be adopted by you. Therefore, draw an end to all confusions related to this topic by going through the sections below.

Firstly, the cost of teeth whitening is directly dependent on whether to choose to do it at a professional dental clinic or home. Yes, you have heard it correct. You can get rid of the stains on your teeth or stop the process of tooth discoloration by using the whitening strips available in the market. These strips can be found in boxes and cost around $20 to $40 per box. These boxes contain plenty of strips to treat your teeth for almost a week. Another way can be buying the over-the-counter trays that should be filled with a whitening solution an then applied to your teeth. 

You can also choose to go for some of the other domestic methods of teeth whitening. We are providing you with the ways in the pointers below:

  • Brushing your teeth with baking soda
  • Using hydrogen peroxide
  • Maintaining a healthy diet that consists of fruits and vegetables
  • Oil pulling
  • Adopting preventive measures

It is to be noted that all the ways of getting your teeth whitening are effective but are relatively time-consuming. If you want to get your teeth whitening in one hour, professional teeth whitening should be a perfect choice. 

How much do I pay for Professional Teeth Whitening?

Let us now discuss the cost of undergoing professional teeth whitening at a reliable dental clinic. You should know that the price to be paid for this treatment directly depends on the requirements of the patient and hence can vary from one person to another. Some of the factors that determine the cost of teeth whitening are – the cost of living in the locality where the dental clinic is located, the products used in the treatment, the fee charged by the dental professional which directly depends on his/her qualifications and experience and the complexity of the problem. 

Taking all of these factors into consideration, the cost of teeth whitening treatment at a reputed dental clinic can be somewhere around $650 and can go up to $1000 or even more. But, it is important for you to know that this is the most efficient ways of getting rid of the yellow stains on your teeth. The reason behind this is pretty simple. The whitening strips that are available at the store contain 10% of hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, the ones used by the bleaching agents can contain between 25 and 40 percent hydrogen peroxide. Naturally, professional teeth whitening treatment yields better results within a less span of time. People also remain confused about the safety of the treatment. If you fall in that group, just know that teeth whitening is perfectly safe and secure if done under the observation of a trained dentist or dental hygienist. In case of any further confusion, it is advisable to consult your dentist immediately. An in-person discussion will not just instill the confidence of going for the treatment but will also make you aware of the steps of professional teeth whitening
