What determines the cost of a whitening session?
The fee for a whitening session depends on the whitening system, examination, gel, isolation, visit length and any custom trays or follow-up.
What can a professional whitening session involve?
A session may mean an in-clinic application, a consultation followed by home trays, or a combined plan. These are different services, so a meaningful quote must identify the technique and everything supplied.
What happens during and after a whitening session?
Before treatment, the dentist examines the teeth and gums, records the starting shade, protects the gingiva, applies the selected peroxide gel as directed, and reassesses sensitivity and shade afterward.
When should colour changes be assessed before whitening?
Arrange an examination before whitening if you have decay, gum disease, enamel cracks, exposed roots, or unexplained colour change. Postpone cosmetic treatment until active disease is addressed.
What should you ask about the session fee?
Ask whether the fee includes examination, gum protection, gel applications, shade recording, trays, desensitising care and review.
