How Much Does it Cost to Whiten Your Teeth in Waukesha County?

The cost of teeth whitening will vary, but the average is between $200 and $1000 per treatment. Factors affecting the cost of teeth whitening may include the type of treatment, extent of tooth discoloration, dentist expertise, and additional procedures. Costs can also depend on how many sessions you schedule and what kind of equipment the dentist uses. Whitening effects can last about a year, so scheduling a follow-up whitening treatment every 6 to 12 months is important based on your color preferences.

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

Before you go in to get your teeth whitened, we recommend that patients schedule an exam to make sure that their teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening. Cavities and infections will be treated before the procedure. This way, we can make sure that tooth discoloration is not the result of a dental condition in need of treatment.

To protect your teeth and gums, a rubber shield or gel will be applied. Then, the dentist will apply a bleach solution that will stain your teeth over the course of an hour. You can kick back and relax while your teeth turn noticeably whiter.

How to Maintain White Teeth

Teeth whitening is an investment, and you want your results to last for as long as possible. Maintain a healthy routine of brushing and flossing every day, and keep up with your regularly scheduled professional cleanings at the dental office. You should also avoid foods and beverages that stain, including red wine, tea, and coffee. The time your whitening lasts will vary, but it is usually 6 months to a year, sometimes even 2 years with proper care.

Teeth Whitening Alternatives

If your stains are too severe to be helped with teeth whitening, you can also take a look at getting veneers. Veneers placed on the surface of the teeth can cover dark stains that can't be corrected through teeth whitening. Consult with a dentist to learn which option is right for you.
