There are a few different options of teeth whitening available now, depending on which type of teeth whitening treatment you are looking for, the cost will vary. The most expensive teeth whitening option available for consumers is laser whitening treatment, this treatment costs on average around $800(or more). The cost that goes into this treatment will depend on where the clinic is located, the specialist that is providing the treatment, and the equipment and tools included in the cost of the treatment.

Choosing an in-office teeth whitening treatment can cost an average of $800(or more), again this cost will vary depending on a few factors including the clinic’s location, which specialist is providing this service, and the tools and products used during the treatment. Having your teeth whitened in an office over an at-home treatment option will show greatly, as in-office results are significantly brighter, and last longer than at-home solutions, as the dentists use a stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide.

As stated previously, several different factors go into the cost of a teeth whitening treatment, as it is a cosmetic procedure, your dental insurance plan will most likely not cover the cost of this particular treatment. While you may be paying out-of-pocket for this treatment, you can reduce the cost of a teeth whitening procedure by the following:
 
• Choosing a cheaper type of teeth whitening treatment, and the number of sessions you complete
• Extent of your tooth discoloration that needs to be fixed
• The dentist level of skill and expertise that you end up choosing
• Location of the dental clinic that you go to for your teeth whitening treatment
• Any additional treatments that may be needed before your teeth whitening treatment

Who doesn’t enjoy looking at a beautiful bright white smile when someone smiles at you or laughs at something silly? While you can use simple and easy-to-use at-home whitening treatments, they do not give you the same brilliant smile that a professional tooth whitening treatment does, nor do they last as long. Unfortunately, at-home teeth whitening treatments only last a few months, meaning you are consistently having to do the at-home treatments every few months.
 
Professional teeth whitening treatments that use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide will provide longer results; however, no treatment provides permanent long-term results, you will always need to get a maintenance treatment completed if you want to continue seeing beautiful bright white teeth results. Professional teeth whitening treatments last a bit longer, some patients may see a difference in their smile for up to 2 to 3 years after their teeth whitening treatment.

Professional teeth whitening treatments are much different than over-the-counter at-home treatment options. These professional teeth whitening treatments have higher concentrations and a variety of peroxide compounds in the ingredients which make a world of difference when it comes to the results from your teeth whitening experience.
 
Professional teeth whitening treatments provide:
 
• Dental supervision
Before each teeth whitening treatment, your dentist will perform an oral exam to ensure the gums and teeth are healthy enough to endure the teeth whitening treatment. They will also determine if any teeth have crowns or veneers that cannot be whitened during the treatment.
 
• Stronger whitening agents
Professional teeth whitening treatments are carefully monitored by the professionals at a dental clinic, as they provide a much higher concentration of whitening gel that is used. Some patients have much more sensitive teeth, so dentists have to watch carefully when they place the gel on the teeth, as any gel that touches the gum tissue can make them quite irritated.
 
• Faster results
Due to the concentration of professional teeth whitening gel or laser, it is strong than the provided teeth whitening treatments you can get over-the-counter to take home. They also provide a much more visible and immediate result for your teeth, while at-home treatment options can take weeks to see results.
