Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening
Just how much will it cost to brighten your smile? That’s a question that can only be answered by speaking with our team. We can explain what factors will influence the final price and give you a trustworthy estimate. On top of that, we can go over your options for making it easier to pay for teeth whitening without breaking the bank. Here are the basics of what you should know before starting the teeth whitening process.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening
To get an accurate idea of what the cost of teeth whitening will look like in your case, we will need to ask the following questions:
- How Severe is Your Discoloration? Some tooth stains are harder to remove than others, potentially requiring you to pay for more than one whitening treatment.
- Are Any Preparations Needed? You may require gum disease treatment or other preparatory services to ensure that your mouth is healthy enough for teeth whitening.
- Do You Have Veneers or Crowns? Veneers and crowns can’t be whitened the same way that natural teeth can. Thus, if there are any veneers or crowns in your mouth, you may want to have them replaced after your whitening procedure with restorations that match your newly brightened smile.
Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?
There’s more than one type of teeth whitening to choose from, and each one comes with its own price tag to consider. Below is a closer look at your options and what you can typically expect cost-wise:
- In-office whitening can often cost between $400 and $800 based on the patient’s unique situation.
- A professional take-home whitening kit will normally cost a few hundred dollars, and it will come with trays that have been designed for your specific smile.
- Store-bought whitening trays often cost around $100 or less, but they are not customized for your teeth.
- Over-the-counter whitening products tend to cost noticeably less than other options. For example, you may be able to pick up a box of whitening strips for about $20 to $40.
Inexpensive Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening
With teeth whitening, it’s worth remembering that the amount you pay and the quality of the results can be linked. While over-the-counter whitening options may be cheaper, professional treatments are generally more effective, often able to yield dazzling results in less time. Also, professional teeth whitening benefits from the oversight of a dentist who can take note of any oral health issues you’re currently experiencing and address them accordingly.
Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable
Since teeth whitening is an elective treatment, it isn’t normally covered by dental insurance. That said, you may be able to break up the cost of teeth whitening via financing. CareCredit is a third-party financier that offers multiple payment plans that can potentially make a variety of dental procedures more budget-friendly.
