How Much is Teeth Whitening
2
Professional teeth whitening helps to erase the
damage of aging, smoking, drinking coffee and
cola, and other factors that influence the
appearance of the teeth. Because it is a cosmetic
dentistry procedure, most insurance carriers
dont offer any coverage for it. That leaves many
patients of Dr. Qureshi at Healthy Smiles of La
Grange wondering, How much is teeth whitening?
It depends on the number of sessions you need and
the type of whitening material used in your
treatment.

Over-the-Counter RemediesTeeth whitening
solutions that you can buy at a local drugstore,
such as whitening pens, strips, gels, and
mouthwash, can range from 20 to 150. However,
you sacrifice quality for the low cost. That is
because drugstore teeth whitening kits contain
only small amounts of carbamide and hydrogen
peroxide, the chemicals that brighten the enamel
of your teeth. You may see no results at

all or you may need to repeat the process
multiple times to see a difference in the shade
of your teeth.Professional Teeth Whitening

Healthy Smiles of La Grange. These kits typically
cost between 100 and 500. They include trays

falling somewhere in the middle of that range. As

you sit with the two rows of trays in your mouth
for up to an hour. Dr. Qureshi then uses a dental
laser to complete the whitening process.We are
