If you’re looking to dramatically improve your appearance, professional teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most effective ways to do so. At Newton Corner Dental Care, we use powerful but safe whiteners to reliably brighten teeth by up to eight shades. We’re proud to offer both in-office and at-home whitening options so you can get the beautiful results you want in a way that’s most convenient for you.

In-Office Whitening Treatment

Looking to brighten your smile right away? Do you have an important event coming up, such as a wedding or job interview? An in-office whitening treatment can help you transform your pearly whites in a single day. Once you’ve settled into the dental chair, we’ll use a rubber dam to protect your gums and cheeks. Then, we’ll apply the whitening gel to your teeth and shine a special light on it to help it reach deep-seated stains. We’ll continue this pattern a few times and before you know it, you’ll have a gleaming, beautiful smile!

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kit

If whitening your teeth from the comfort of your own home on your own schedule sounds more convenient to you, a professional take-home whitening kit may be a better choice. We’ll supply you with custom-made whitening trays and custom doses of whitening gel. Typically, you’ll wear the trays filled with whitener for a certain amount of time every day whenever you like. After about two weeks, you’ll achieve a brilliantly bright smile.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening?

While there are plenty of teeth whitening products available for purchase elsewhere, they’re not nearly as effective, reliable, or safe. With a professional teeth whitening treatment, you can enjoy benefits like:

  • Trusted and tested professional whiteners for dramatic results.
  • 100% personalized treatment for comfortable whitening and minimal tooth sensitivity.
  • Results that can last for a year or more with the right care.
  • Predictable results that can help you brighten your smile by up to eight shades.
  • A boost for both your appearance and your confidence.

How Do I Maintain Professional Teeth Whitening Results?

Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening

Most people have questions when it comes to teeth whitening, and one of the first that usually comes to mind is: “How much can I expect to pay to whiten my smile?” The truth is, there is no standardized cost for teeth whitening since everyone has different goals for their teeth—not to mention, everyone’s smile is different to begin with. That said, there are usually a few factors that influence the overall price.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening

Various factors can affect the cost of teeth whitening in Newton, including:

  • The Severity of Your Staining – Patients with severe staining might need more than one treatment to achieve their desired results.
  • The Types of Stains Are Present – Stains can occur due to a variety of reasons, including genetics, age, and lifestyle habits like frequently drinking dark-colored beverages. The nature of your staining (intrinsic or extrinsic) could be a relevant factor.
  • Any Existing Dental Restorations – You cannot whiten veneers, crowns, or other restorations like you can whiten teeth, meaning if any are present, they may need to be replaced.
  • Other Oral Health Issues – If you’re suffering from gum disease or untreated cavities, those and any other types of oral health issues will need to be treated before you can move forward with teeth whitening.  

Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?

Different types of teeth whitening treatments come with distinct costs. Here’s what you can generally expect:

  • In-Office Whitening – These treatments normally cost a few hundred dollars and can be performed during a single appointment at our office.
  • Take-Home Whitening Kits – These include professional-grade materials and custom trays, and they’re similarly priced to in-office treatments, around a few hundred dollars.
  • Store-Bought Whitening Trays – With these products, their quality is directly reflected in their lower price. Even though they sometimes cost less than $100, they produce mediocre results.
  • Strips, Gels, & Whitening Toothpastes – These options are often the cheapest, costing between $20 and $50 at most stores or online. They rely on cheaper, diluted bleaching agents, meaning their results will be rather unimpressive.

DIY Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening

It can be tempting to simply select the cheapest whitening option, but you must remember that even though professional teeth whitening might cost more than DIY options, you’re guaranteeing that you’ll enjoy spectacular results. Our team has the means to deliver personalized results that look natural and last longer than anything you can achieve with store-bought products. Not to mention, having our team oversee your treatment will ensure that it’s safe, comfortable, and certain to leave you smiling ear-to-ear!

Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable

Many patients have a limited budget when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, and some are also under the impression that teeth whitening will break the bank. The truth is, even though it’s an elective service that isn’t covered by dental insurance, teeth whitening can still be made affordable. One option is financing; our practice is partnered with Wisetack, a financer who can help qualifying patients by providing flexible payment plans, usually with zero or very low interest rates and no hidden fees. This means you won’t have to stress about brightening your smile—and you can enjoy all the priceless benefits, including soaring self-esteem.
