The cost of teeth whitening varies based on the type of product use and its strength. There are many different products including whitening gels placed in a custom-made tray or laser teeth whitening. The cost of professional whitening can range anywhere from $200-1000. Over time your natural color of your teeth will become darker due to staining from different foods and food colorings. Some of those foods include coffee, smoking actively, wine, and many other food products. The stains won’t go away unless you remove them. The teeth whitening gel works by absorbing into your teeth and gently pushing stains out through the pores. Teeth whitening does not damage your teeth. Sensitivity from teeth whitening is completely normal. During the session, the teeth become temporarily dehydrated which causes changes in temperature. Normally, the sensitivity disappears within 12 hours. Veneers and other cosmetics are unable to be whitened. Crowns or veneers are unable to stain or whiten.
According to fairhealthconsumerg.org the cost of whitening per arch in Park Slope on average costs $500.
Please talk to your dentist first about whitening as a cleaning or dental work is needed in order to get the desired color of your teeth. Please also take note that only natural teeth can be whitened. Fillings, crowns and hardened plaque cannot be whitened.
