Why Choose Encore Dentistry for At-Home Teeth Whitening?

Factors that Affect the Cost of At-Home Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is usually one set price. However, some factors can determine the number of treatments that you will need to achieve the whiteness goals you have for your smile. They will also determine if any additional costs are necessary. Here are the most prominent ones:

  • • Severity of Discoloration: If your teeth are very discolored, you might need multiple treatments to get the results you’re hoping for.
  • • Type of Discoloration: Extrinsic stains are much easier to lift than intrinsic stains.
  • • Additional Treatments: If you have any existing oral health issues that need to be addressed, like gum disease or cavities, this needs to be done ahead of time. Whitening can aggravate existing issues. Other dental treatments will incur their own cost.

Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?

There are several different types of teeth whitening, and they range in cost and effectiveness. Here is what you can generally expect based on what you choose:

  • In-Office Teeth Whitening: This usually costs between $300 and $800. In some scenarios, it can cost upwards of $1000.
  • Take-Home Teeth Whitening: Professional take-home teeth whitening kits usually cost a few hundred dollars.
  • Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Trays: Teeth whitening trays can be found at your local drug store and/or supermarket. Generally, they are less than $100.
  • Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Strips: This is the most affordable option out there. Boxes can cost between $20 and $40 on average and usually have enough product to last up to two weeks.

Fast Teeth Whitening VS Inexpensive Teeth Whitening

If you are looking at just the cost, you may be wondering why anyone would consider professional teeth whitening. The truth is that when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the quality of the results is clearly reflected in the amount you pay. When you use cheaper strips and gels from the drug store, many patients see little to no results, especially when they have more severe discoloration. On the other hand, professional teeth whitening treatments can lighten tooth enamel by multiple shades in much faster timeframes. For in-office care, it can be done in as little as one visit, while professional take-home kits can be effective in less than two weeks! When choosing a teeth whitening option, it is important to consider the kinds of results that you are looking for and how quickly you want them – not just the price.

Options For Making At-Home Teeth Whitening Affordable

At-home teeth whitening is considered to be a cosmetic treatment, so it isn’t covered by dental insurance. However, there are still some options out there that can help. With our In-Office Membership plan, patients can enjoy discounts on most of our services. We also work with CareCredit – a third-party financing company that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest.
