Do you have the money for laser teeth whitening or the patience for DIY teeth bleaching?
Like all professional teeth whitening treatments at the dental clinics, you can expect to be charged a higher price for laser teeth treatments compared to those do-it-yourself DIY teeth bleaching products that can be bought at supermarkets and pharmacies. If you are used to using the teeth bleaching gets and Crest whitestrips bought from the stores, you may get a big shock when you ask for the cost of laser teeth whitening such as zoom or britesmile, usually in the range of $700-$1500. While the whitening gels and medicine used by dentists does not cost that much more, you are actually paying more for the professional assistance of the dentist as well as for the specialized laser equipment. Such treatments usually take several hours and how much do you think is the hourly rate for a dentist?
On the other hand, laser teeth treatment usually takes only one session for your teeth to be restored to its pearly white appearance, unless you have really badly stained teeth, or that the discolorations are due to intrinsic factors. You may not have the time or patience for cheaper but very slow teeth bleaching products such as Crestwhite strips or Colgate total white toothpastes.
