The cost of the whitening depends on the technique, the amount of whitening that needs to be accomplished, and the permanency of the whitening achieved. The least expensive option for teeth whitening is over the counter whitening gels and strips. These results may not be as effective as the ones given by the dentist as the gel is weaker. Over the counter options may require more frequent whitening to keep up the desired shade of your teeth. This may ultimately end up being more expensive to you if frequent touch ups are needed.
If you are interested in take-home whitening material, your dentist makes molds of your teeth and gives you custom whitening trays and whitening gel. An initial shade of your teeth is documented to monitor the progress.
You will need to use the gel to whiten your teeth for 2-4 weeks. At a follow up appointment, your general dentist will determine if an in-office whitening session is required based on the improvement in the shade of your teeth.
