How much does teeth whitening cost?

It doesn’t happen overnight, but you realize that over a period of time your teeth start becoming yellow or even brown. Blame it on the fast lifestyle or the fast food; our teeth lose their shine and whiteness very fast. So then we try to find out ways in which we can make our teeth look white and bright again. There are tons of options available on the internet and many that your dentist can give you too.
How do you decide? Well, you look at all your options, study their pros and cons and ultimately ask yourself the most crucial question – how much does teeth whitening cost? The answer to this depends on the type of teeth whitening treatment you opt for. Let us take a look at some of these techniques and their relative costs.
Dentist teeth whitening costs
If you visit your dentist, he or she will give you a few treatment options to choose from with varying costs. But let me tell you, none of them are cheap. It would cost you at least a few hundred dollars. On an average it could cost you anywhere between $500 – $700, and again, it depends on which dentist you go to and the treatment you choose.
Cheap teeth whitening products at home
You would think that spending that amount of money is justified if the results are good. But what if you could get the same results by using teeth whitening products that are readily available in the market and doing it yourself at home? There are tons of teeth whitening strips, moulds and gels that guarantee the same results as a professional treatment and cost way less than a trip to the dentist.
Some people may not be confident or comfortable about doing such treatments at home. Others may be wary of the chemicals used in such treatments. Many think that natural methods are the best way to go. And they are. Natural methods give great results, are not harmful like the chemical treatments and also are easy on the pocket. Most of the home remedies use basic ingredients found in your home such as baking soda, salt, coconut oil etc.
What is it going to be for you?
So, the choice is yours. Teeth whitening can cost you anywhere between a few hundred dollars if you opt for a professional treatment at the dentist’s to almost nothing if you decide to do it at home.
