After all, those storebought kits aren\u2019t that expensive, and promise similar results. But the truth is, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, you get what you pay for. Here\u2019s a closer look at how much take-home kits from your dentist might cost, and why even though they\u2019re more expensive, they\u2019re a much better value than those OTC products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the Big Deal: OTC vs. Professional Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been to the oral hygiene aisle of most discount stores, supermarkets, and pharmacies, you\u2019ve probably seen lots of products that promise to whiten your smile on a budget, from the comfort of your own home. But while this may <em>seem<\/em> like a great idea in theory, these kits often overpromise and underdeliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, storebought kits contain diluted ingredients, designed to keep you buying them over and over again because you still aren\u2019t getting the results you want. While sure, spending $40 for two weeks of treatment may seem like a bargain at first, when it takes many months to get even negligible results, that cost can really add up. Worse yet, because you must use these products so long to achieve any change in color, you are exposing your teeth to sensitivity-causing chemicals for months on end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, professional take-home kits from your dentist are designed to remove up to eight shades of stains and discoloration in about two weeks. These kits work faster, so even though they may cost more up front, they get you the results you want in a fraction of the time. Better still, your teeth won\u2019t be exposed to harsh chemicals for long, so they will look and feel better than if you\u2019d used OTC products, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Does Professional Whitening Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional teeth whitening is a highly customized treatment, and as such can vary quite a bit from patient to patient. Your initial kit will include a set of reusable, refillable trays that are custom fit to your mouth, as well as the appropriate amount of gel to get your desired results. These kits usually range from $300 to $600, depending on your individual goals and oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while professional whitening kits from your dentist may be more expensive than storebought products up front, the truth is that with safer, faster, and more effective results, they could just end up saving you money in the long run.
