As with any smile-enhancing treatment, candidacy is determined on a case-by-case basis. At your consultation, we will ask you a few questions about your dental history, assess the severity of your discoloration, and determine the source of the stains. Only then will we be able to determine if our take-home teeth whitening treatments will give you the gorgeous smile you desire. The good news is that patients whose teeth are yellow due to coffee consumption, certain medications, and the like typically are!

How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

Dr. Cobb uses take-home whitening kits from Philips. Since the bleaching gels contain higher strengths of hydrogen peroxide, they can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth without damaging your enamel. Of course, we will provide you with detailed instructions on when and how to use the products we give you. That way, you can remove stubborn stains whether you’re working at home, watching Netflix, or relaxing by the pool!

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

Naturally, you don’t want stubborn stains to resurface shortly after investing your time and money into professional teeth whitening. To prevent that from happening, we recommend:

  • Eating white and light-colored foods, like scrambled eggs and plain yogurt.
  • Avoiding smoking and other unhealthy dental habits.
  • Implementing a solid oral hygiene regimen, including brushing twice a day.
  • Visiting us every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning.
  • Getting touch-up whitening treatments as needed.

If you are ready to whiten your teeth and restore your self-confidence, then don’t wait any longer to schedule a consultation with us. Once that appointment is on the calendar, you’ll be another step closer to the gorgeous smile you’ve been wanting!

There's nothing quite like the benefits of a beautiful, bright smile. However, teeth change color over time, and they come in many shades naturally. If you're embarrassed by tooth stains, your cosmetic dentist can reveal a vibrant smile without costing your life's savings. Many factors affect the cost of teeth whitening, but we have the solutions you need to enhance your smile without breaking the bank.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening

There's no flat fee for teeth whitening because many factors affect the cost. You'll require an initial consultation to ensure you're a candidate for the treatment. Based on the results of your examination, your dentist may find that you need a little prep work before your whitening procedure, like a dental cleaning or a filling. Any preparatory procedures will be added to the cost of your treatment. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan and a member of our team will explain your estimate.

Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?

At-home teeth whitening kit

You can achieve in-office results from the comfort of your home. We offer take-home teeth whitening kits. We will give you everything you need to get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter with results that can last for many months or years with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing. You'll use the kit every day for 1 to 2 weeks, as instructed by your cosmetic dentist. Stains will gradually lift, leaving you with a youthful, stunning smile to be proud of.

Inexpensive Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening

There are a variety of OTC whitening products on the market, but they all have one thing in common. None contain professional-grade whitening agents. Therefore, they do not provide noticeable or lasting results. In addition, not all stains respond to teeth whitening, so you could just be throwing money away. When visiting a dentist for teeth whitening, you are investing in proven, safe results. Your dentist will ensure your mouth is healthy and your tooth stains will respond to a whitening treatment. Your cosmetic dentist will create the individualized strategy you need to combat stains and discoloration without damaging your teeth.

Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable

A member of our dental team will review your estimate and explain the fees, so you'll know exactly what you'll have to pay before committing to anything. They will also discuss your payment options, which include:

  • Traditional Payments: We accept all traditional payment methods, including cash, personal checks, and most credit cards.
  • Dental Insurance: Dental insurance does not cover teeth whitening because it is elective. However, your benefits may cover your consultation and any preparatory procedures that are medically necessary. We will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize any applicable benefits.
  • Monthly Payments: You can pay any out-of-pocket costs using a monthly payment plan, based on your credit approval. You can benefit from little or no interest in financing to keep teeth whitening within your budget.
