How much does teeth whitening cost. Overview of prices for professional and home methods

The cost of whitening depends not only on which method you choose. We will talk about the most expensive and affordable a bit later. But first, let's touch on the pricing policy of this procedure.

Bleaching options and price options

All methods of whitening can be divided into 2 categories.

Home Ways

How does the average price of whitening come out at home? Here are the tools that you can use at home without visiting the dental office. Their cost consists only of the price of the bleaching kit or the bleaching preparation itself. Whitening at home is always longer in time and carries risks. To reduce them, you need to undergo a preliminary examination at the dentist for dental health, caries and damage to enamel.

A doctor’s consultation costs from 200 rubles, depending on the level of the clinic and the dental office. Most likely, the doctor will suggest that you carry out preventative cleaning. This makes sense if there is plaque on the teeth (they are yellow and rough to the touch) or tartar. By the way, it is impossible to remove the latter by any home means. Only ultrasonic cleaning will help, which costs about 110 for one tooth or from 1500 rubles for the entire oral cavity.

Professional methods

These include techniques used in office dentistry. How much does teeth whitening cost in this case depends on 3 factors.

1. Clinic level. If it belongs to the category “Lux” or VIP, the price order in it will be 30% higher than in other dental institutions.
2. The condition of your teeth. This parameter determines up to 60% of the cost of the procedure. It will be much cheaper to make a smile dazzling if all your teeth are healthy. If not, you will have to pre-cure caries, which, depending on the technique of treatment, can cost from 700 to 45 thousand rubles (the most expensive treatment is with a laser), put a seal (polymer cost is from 600 rubles), you may need an x-ray of individual teeth (from 1000 up to 3000 rubles). As you can see, monitoring the health of the oral cavity is much cheaper than correcting the consequences of inattention to yourself.
3. Consumables. In total, they occupy only 10%, but in many respects they are formed by the level of equipment of the dental office. It will be cheaper to whiten teeth where equipment was purchased not yesterday, but worked for more than a year. But in this case there is no guarantee that the whitening will be carried out according to the latest methods. And the newer the technology and equipment, the safer and more efficient the procedure.

The cost of professional techniques

So, we find out how much it costs to whiten teeth in the dental office.

1. Technology Air Flow - recognized conditionally whitening, rather hygienic, as it allows you to return a natural whiteness to a smile. Qualitatively and safely eliminates plaque from the surface of the teeth, which is why they are lightened by 1-3 tones. Whitening Air Flow costs from 1100 to 2500 rubles.
2. Intracanal whitening is an exclusively medical procedure, the home analogues of which do not exist. It implies the introduction of a whitening gel inside the tooth - under the crown or in the filling material when the color of the dental tissues changes from the inside. The final price is calculated for 1 tooth and is 500-2500 rubles.
3. ZOOM 3 bleaching is the most popular technique that allows you to lighten teeth for 7-10 tones in 1 session. It is carried out in most dental clinics with absolutely identical equipment (just specify that this was the third generation of ZOOM, and not the first or second). Moreover, the cost varies significantly and ranges from 7 to 28 thousand rubles.
4. Laser technology - not only effectively whitens, but also strengthens teeth. It is considered the fastest, most effective (lightening to 12 tones in 40 minutes) and safe. And the most expensive, since laser whitening equipment is more expensive than other installations. So, depending on the type and generation of the laser, the price of the procedure can be from 8 to 30 thousand rubles.

Home Whitening Cost

How much does the teeth whitening procedure at home, completely depends on the technique you choose. We will not consider ineffective options with soda or hydrogen peroxide, since they are considered generally free (these funds are absolutely in every home).

More effective whitening with gel and cap. The product is applied to the mouthguards, they are put on the teeth and worn as much as indicated by the manufacturer (from several minutes to several hours). The first result will be noticeable after 5 days, and the procedure will take from 10 to 45 days. Manufacturers offer both ready-made bleaching kits (their price is from 2000 rubles), and gels separately. It is advisable to order a mouth guard according to an individual impression. The price of this more convenient device will be approximately 700 rubles.

As you can see, the cost of bleaching procedures both at home and in the clinic is quite affordable. And more expensive hardware techniques provide a longer result - from 5 to 10 years, instead of 1 year for home appliances.
