Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

If you’re unhappy with the color of your smile, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our team. We can take a look at your teeth and figure out what intrinsic and extrinsic factors are causing the discoloration. Then we’ll evaluate your oral health and make sure there aren’t any untreated issues (such as gum disease or a cavity). Once we have gathered as much information as we can about your situation and learned about your smile goals, we can help you figure out whether teeth whitening is the right choice for you.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

At our office, patients can benefit from KoR and ZOOM brand in-office and at-home teeth whitening. To help you figure out which option is right for you, here’s a closer look at how they work:

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

A take-home teeth whitening kit contains special trays and bleaching gel. You will be instructed to fill the trays (which will be customized for your specific smile) with the gel before wearing them for a set amount of time. In many cases, you’ll start to notice a difference in the brightness of your grin after about two weeks.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you would like to achieve a brighter smile as soon as possible, you can ask our team about having an in-office whitening treatment performed. This procedure involves applying a powerful bleaching gel to your enamel while you’re sitting in the dental chair. The gel we use is considered very safe, and it is highly effective for getting rid of all kinds of dental discoloration. Oftentimes, the procedure can be completed in as little as an hour!

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

To keep your smile looking as dazzling as possible after your teeth whitening treatment, be sure to stay away from foods and beverages that could cause new stains (such as blueberries and coffee). You should also make a point of practicing good oral hygiene; don’t forget to brush at least two times a day, and remember to floss and rinse with ADA-approved mouthwash as well. And of course, we recommend that you visit our office every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening

The cost of teeth whitening in Las Vegas largely depends on what type of treatment you choose and the severity of your dental staining. Our team at Rose Cosmetic & Family Dentistry will evaluate your smile at the beginning of your appointment and help you determine which option will work best for you. We’ll then provide you with a cost estimate so you know what the expected cost will be. If needed, we can also go over your payment options with you.

Factors That Influence the Cost of Teeth Whitening

There are three main factors that will impact the cost of your treatment:

  • The Type of Treatment You Choose: Typically, take-home treatment is slightly less costly than in-office treatment because you administer it yourself instead of a dental team doing it for you.
  • Any Necessary Preparatory Treatments: If you have existing restorations or untreated oral health concerns like cavities, these will need to be replaced or treated before you receive teeth whitening treatment.
  • The Extent of Your Discoloration: Depending on the underlying cause of your discoloration, you may require more than one in order for you to achieve your desired results.

The Costs of Different Types of Teeth Whitening

There are countless different types of teeth whitening products out there for you to choose from, all with different costs. While whitening strips, toothpastes, and store-bought kits can cost between $10 and $100, professional in-office and take-home whitening kits typically range between $200 and $800.

Store-Bought vs. Professional Teeth Whitening

Although store-bought teeth whitening products may be the more convenient option because all you need to do is pop into your local convenience store to buy them, they’re not always the best answer to tooth discoloration. Store-bought products are often overused by patients, resulting in enamel erosion and dental sensitivity. This usually happens because patients aren’t achieving the results they were hoping for, leading to them using the products more often or longer than recommended.

On the other hand, professional teeth whitening treatment uses ingredients that are clinically proven to be both effective and safe for your teeth. After just an hour at the cosmetic dentist’s office or two weeks of at-home use, you can brighten your smile by up to eight shades with little-to-no unwanted side-effects.

Options for Making Teeth Whitening More Affordable

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment, meaning that it’s typically never covered by dental insurance. If you’re concerned about paying for teeth whitening up-front, our team can help you navigate your payment options. We work with third-party financiers CareCredit and Alphaeon to offer the option of flexible monthly payment plans to our patients.
