Knowing Your Teeth Whitening Cost

By Josh Adamson

It can be difficult to get some straight answers as to the actual teeth whitening cost for a specific system or option. It's quite common that many of the manufacturers or providers of such products will try to make the prices sound lower than they really are by hiding important details. The best way to find the answer is to just look for a credible product review or a product testimonial.

It's important to know your budget before you start searching teeth whitening costs. That way you will at least be able to make a basic decision as to how much you are willing to pay, and you can stay within your means. If you have a larger budget, you have a wider variety of options from which to choose. However, it's important to note that the more expensive options will not necessarily lead to better results.

To start off, a visit to get your teeth whitening kit or your gels will most likely put your teeth whitening cost right around $250 to $400 dollars. Usually the dentist will mold some custom trays for you, which are a significant portion of that cost. They will also of course charge you for the gels that they give you as well. Prices can vary quite a bit, but the average tends to be right around $300. It's possible to find deals for cheaper through some dentists, but don't count on it.

Teeth whitening cost for in-office procedures is one area that it's possible to really get spendy. Generally the procedures are very quick and hassle free, but it often takes multiple sessions to get the results you want. Each session generally costs several hundred dollars, the average being about $650 per visit. If you don't want to mess with gels and trays and have money to burn, this option is probably what you want.

If you would rather find a product that you can use yourself without going to a dentist, you have a lot more options and your teeth whitening cost goes down significantly. Most of the time if you buy from a store or online, you will end up paying around $40 for a one month supply. Productst that are significantly cheaper than that are probably not really worth the money, simply because they are probably just a watered-down version of more successful products.

It's a good idea to remember that no matter which product you use, it's hard to tell exactly how long you will need to use any one product in order to see the results that you are hoping for. Some people will see results pretty quickly, whereas some people have teeth stains that are more difficult to get out. However, even if you have very noticable stains and you plan on having to take a long time to see results, It's most common that your total treatment time will be under 3 months.

No matter what option you choose, it's a great idea to shop around first. There are a number of resources and blogs with product reviews that really give some great perspective on which products work best. Don't buy a product before you have read a product review from a trusted source. Also, don't buy a product that does not offer a money-back guarantee. - 30292
