How much does a professional whitening cost
Professional whitening cost depends on the examination, method, visits, gel, trays, sensitivity care, and other treatment needed.
The short answer
The cost of professional whitening depends on the method and condition of your teeth, so a written plan follows examination.
Why do professional whitening methods have different fees?
Quotes differ for in-office whitening, dentist-made trays, or a combined approach. Cavities, gum inflammation, restorations, or internal discoloration can change the plan.
How can you request an itemised whitening plan?
Request an itemized plan covering examination, trays, gel, visits, review, and restorative work.
When should teeth be assessed before professional whitening?
Book assessment before whitening for pain, sensitivity, decay, gum bleeding, or one dark tooth.
What should you ask about the result and aftercare?
Ask what is included, what shade change is realistic, and how sensitivity or uneven color will be handled.
