How much does teeth whitening cost? Is it safe?
Jul 29, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Tooth whitening is based upon the use of peroxide-based bleaching agents at different concentrations; the higher the concentration, the shorter the time of application. Effectiveness depends upon the correct application for the needed amount of time, along with the basic dental hygienic measures (daily brushing and flossing, avoiding dark tea/coffee/smoking/white and red wine /gaseous beverages).
You also need to know that tooth-whitening can render teeth temporarily sensitive. It can be uncomfortable for people who already have sensitive teeth. If improperly used, you may end up with burned or temporarily bleached gums. Tooth-whitening is most effective for people with yellow teeth and is less effective for people with brown teeth.
As for the cost, it's somewhere around 200$ per session, the total cost depending on how many sessions you require.
