Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Fortunately, professional teeth whitening treatments can address dental discoloration stemming from frequent coffee consumption, certain medications, the natural aging process, and just about everything in between. That said, not everyone is a candidate for this popular cosmetic dentistry treatment (at least not right away). For example, if there is an active infection in your gums or there is a severe crack in your enamel, then we will need to provide the necessary restorative care first.

How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

Our whitening kits are superior to anything you’ll find at the store because we don’t use flimsy applicators or diluted whitening products. Instead, we create custom trays and a powerful (and safe!) bleaching agent. We will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to use them. You’ll notice improvements after just one use, and you’ll see the full results about two weeks later!

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

In order to keep your smile bright and beautiful, you need to take great care of it. More specifically, we recommend:

  • Using a straw when drinking coffee, soda, red wine, or juice
  • Eating light-colored foods, like cottage cheese and bananas
  • Brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash consistently
  • Breaking bad habits, like smoking
  • Scheduling a dental checkup and cleaning twice a year
  • Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed

Whether you’re struggling with significant stains from coffee or mild stains from the natural aging process, professional teeth whitening may be the solution you’ve been looking for. The easiest way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with us so we can learn more about your dental history, needs, and goals. We look forward to getting to know you and how we can make your dream smile a reality!

Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening

Though our take-home whitening kits do have a standard price, your overall treatment expenses could vary depending on a couple of factors. As a practice that values transparency, we want to be upfront with you about those factors – and with how our professional care compares to the cost of other whitening methods.

Factors that Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening

As mentioned, determining the cost of a teeth whitening treatment isn’t always straightforward. Certain factors can play a big role in how your final bill breaks down. For example:

  • Patients with severe dental staining might need more than one round of treatment in order to achieve their desired results. If this would be a concern for you, we can explore more permanent solutions like dental bonding or veneers.
  • Teeth whitening can be painful and dangerous if you have an existing case of cavities or gum disease. In this situation, we’d have to first address the issue with preliminary treatments.
  • The presence of dental work like veneers and crowns might add an additional step to your teeth whitening plan. Whitening agents don’t work on these inorganic materials, so to achieve even shading, we’ll have to polish or replace your dental work after treatment.

Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?

Generally speaking, store-bought stain solutions like whitening trays, strips, gels, and toothpastes are less expensive than professional treatments. A take-home kit provided by a cosmetic dentist in Jackson typically costs a few hundred dollars, while drug-store and grocery products are usually below $100.

Professional Teeth Whitening VS Store-Bought Teeth Whitening

So, what’s the difference between our take-home kits and whatever you can find at your local store? In one word: quality. Here’s how we compare:

  • Superior results. Store-bought and DIY methods tend to have slow-acting or underwhelming whitening effects. After about two weeks of using our take-home kit, you’ll notice a stark difference in the brilliance of your smile.
  • Unique customization. When you read the product label of a store-bought whitening product, what you see is what you get. As professionals, though, our team can customize your treatment plan to account for dental sensitivity and personal preferences.
  • Improved safety. No two people have the same dental structure. Unlike market trays, our whitening kit includes personalized trays that are designed to fit your smile. Because of this, you won’t have to worry about the whitening agent coming into contact with your gums and causing damage.

Options For Making Teeth Whitening Affordable

Dental insurance doesn’t usually cover any teeth whitening costs since it’s considered an elective treatment. But that doesn’t mean you can’t save money with Lakeland Dental Care! We’re partnered with CareCredit financing and can offer you monthly payment plans at little-to-no-interest. Choose the payment schedule that works best for you, and enjoy your dream smile without breaking the bank.
