Crest whitening strips cost
The cost of whitening strips depends on the pack, seller, formulation, delivery, and whether a dental examination is needed first.
The short answer
The cost of whitening strips depends on the pack, seller, formulation, delivery, and whether a dental examination is needed first. A dentist may recommend a different whitening method if there is decay, gum disease, exposed dentine, or existing dental work.
How do whitening strips carry peroxide gel to teeth?
Whitening strips are flexible plastic carriers coated with a peroxide-based gel. The amount paid can change with the number of applications, product concentration, retailer, shipping, and local taxes, so a product label and checkout total matter more than a generic estimate.
What should you compare before buying whitening strips?
Compare the gel ingredient, pack contents, expiry date, seller, and directions before buying. Check the teeth and gums first if you have sensitivity, cavities, cracks, gum recession, or crowns and veneers in the visible smile.
When should teeth be checked before using whitening strips?
Seek dental care before whitening when a tooth hurts, a filling is broken, the gums bleed, or one tooth has changed colour. Stop the product and arrange advice if burning gum pain or marked sensitivity develops.
What should you ask about strips and existing dental work?
Ask whether the colour change is a surface stain or a change inside the tooth, and whether strips can reach the teeth you want to lighten. Ask what treatment will match crowns, fillings, or veneers, which do not whiten like natural enamel.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price of strips the whole whitening cost?
It may not be: delivery, replacement packs, dental assessment, or treatment of cavities and gum problems can add separate costs.
Can a dentist recommend a different option?
Yes. The choice may be professional whitening, supervised home trays, stain removal, or restorative treatment, depending on the cause of discolouration.
