Anyone know the average cost of a power bleaching?
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010I really need to have my teeth whitened, my next dental checkup is not for almost 2 months. I realize that insurance most likely will not cover this procedure, and would like to have a ballpark idea of the cost before I mention it to my dentist.
I meant to have the procedure done in the dentist’s office. I do not want anything to go wrong.
I am interning for a dentist in NYC this summer. First off you should go to your dentist and discuss different options which might suit you better. Laser whitening is a great procedure but it is not always sucessful or has amazing results. There are different options such as a home whitening kit ( not the 40 dollar cheap crest white strips they dont work very well at all, but the trays that your dentist custom makes for you in the office) which are trays that you wear for 7 days they are a little cheaper than laser whitening. The office i work in is very high tech we use the latest technology called ZOOM 3 its really good about 45 min and its 600 dollars, the whitening trays are 250 for the top and 250 for the bottom teeth 500 dollars total. Make sure that when you get the whitening done the dentist uses the actual ZOOM 3 chemicals, because many dentist substitute the gel that is used to whiten for a generic cheaper substance dont be fooled. Yes you are right cosmetic procedures are not covered by the insurance but i strongly recommend a dental cleaning (prophylaxis) before you do the laser whitening its good for your gums and it gives you a clean palette for the whitening to be more effective. Soo good luck and if you have anymore questions you can email me.
