Teeth Whitening Greensboro

How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

For patients who have busy schedules or would rather whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home, take-home teeth whitening is ideal. When you visit our office, Dr. Fisher will take impressions of your mouth to model your whitening trays. The precise fit will ensure that the whitening gel will evenly cover your teeth, so one area doesn’t appear whiter than another.

Once your trays are ready, you’ll receive your entire kit, complete with extra-strength whitening gel that’s significantly stronger and more effective than any over-the-counter kit. We’ll provide you with directions for how long to keep your trays on so you can achieve your ideal results. After about two weeks, you’ll notice that your smile is more beautiful and brighter than ever before.

Benefits of Choosing Professional Teeth Whitening

With so many teeth whitening products at your fingertips, it can seem like a difficult decision to choose just one. However, the choice is way easier to make than you think. With so many benefits to offer, professional teeth whitening is the best solution for brightening your smile and achieving lasting results. Here are some advantages of visiting your dentist in Greensboro for treatment:

• Customizable Treatment: Store-bought whitening trays and strips are one-size-fits-all. When you receive professional teeth whitening, your treatment is customized to fulfill your needs and accommodate the shape and structure of your mouth.
• Even Results: Another issue with one-size-fits-all whitening trays or strips is that they can cause uneven and embarrassing results that can’t be reversed. When choosing professional take-home teeth whitening, you can rest assured knowing that your smile won’t be multiple shades of white in different areas.
• No Irritation: Store-bought kits contain ingredients that aren’t always safe for your mouth and cause irritation. Professional products only include ingredients that have been tested and proven to be safe, effective, and reliable.
• Safe & Highly Concentrated Ingredients: Over-the-counter teeth whitening products contain ingredients that aren’t strong and often don’t provide noticeable results. Professional treatment uses high-grade bleaching gel that breaks through yellow and brown stains littering the visible surface of your teeth.

Factors that Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening

Although it is true that teeth whitening is a set price, there are factors that must be considered before we can give you the total amount for your treatment. Not all patients require the same number of treatments, which can make a significant difference in the overall cost of care. Also, the following criteria is also incorporated into your cost estimate:

• The severity of your tooth discoloration
• Where the stains are located (on the surface or inside the tooth)
• The cause of your tooth stains and discoloration (i.e., age, medication, bad habits)
• Whether or not you will require preliminary care to address cavities

Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?

Dr. Fisher is pleased to provide his patients with take-home whitening kits to brighten and whiten smiles. As a cosmetic dentist in Greensboro, he will work to ensure you receive the professional-grade products that are safe, effective, and will lend beautiful results in about two weeks. But how much can you expect to pay to receive these results? Let’s find out:

• If you were to see a dentist for in-office whitening, it would roughly cost between $400 and $800. In certain cases, it can go as high as $1,000 or more.
• If you prefer a take-home whitening kit, these come with customized trays that are created using physical impressions taken of your smile. As a result, these can cost a few hundred dollars.
• Should you opt for an over-the-counter whitening tray that is not customized to your smile, you can expect it to be more affordable (around $100 or less).
• If the cheapest option is what you’re looking for, store-bought whitening strips or gels will only cost you between $20-$40 per box, and you’ll have enough to treat your teeth for roughly two weeks.

Fast Teeth Whitening VS Inexpensive Teeth Whitening

As you compare the price ranges above, you may be thinking to yourself that an over-the-counter whitening kit is a no-brainer solution. But before you move in that direction, you’ll want to think about the actually price you’ll pay to receive a whiter smile. Just because these kits are cheaper does not mean you’ll achieve your desired results. Most of these products only treat surface stains, never reaching those deep inside your teeth. Also, over-the-counter kits do not use the highest concentration of hydrogen peroxide like most licensed professionals do. As a result, you’ll be left with lackluster results.

Although you will pay more for Dr. Fisher to provide you with professional, custom-made whitening trays, you will find the results and longevity of your brighter smile is well worth the investment.

Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable

While it is true that dental insurance is unlikely to cover the cost of your teeth whitening, you can turn to an alternative payment method that is budget friendly. With CareCredit, this third-party company offers flexible financing in the form of low and no interest payment plans. By breaking up the cost of your teeth whitening treatment, you can work toward a brighter smile without emptying your savings account.

If you’re ready to do something about the stains and discoloration on your teeth, let Dr. Fisher and our team provide the care you need. While receiving the customized whitening trays to use at home, you can feel more confident that your investment will go far. From helping you understand the cost of your treatment to ensuring you stay well within your budget, we invite you to contact us today to schedule an appointment and let us help you get started.
