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.

The teeth whitening cost for in-office procedures is generally a lot higher than people expect or would reasonably want to pay. It's generally the quickest and easiest option, but it usually does take multiple sessions to get the exact results you want. Each session generally costs several hundred dollars, the average being about $650 per visit. If you really don't want to have to deal with trays and gels every day for several weeks, this option is something you may want to consider.

If you are more interested in the do-it-yourself option, then the teeth whitening cost goes down significantly. Some products come with a $40, one month supply. Other products come with a free one month trial of you order online. Of course, if you buy online, it's best to do your research to make sure you really are getting what you expect. There are plenty of products out there that are just watered-down versions 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 how you finally decide to whiten your teeth, you will feel better about your decision if you 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. - 29879
