Let\u2019s talk money. Or, more specifically, let\u2019s talk about the cost of a professional teeth whitening treatment.<\/a> Many patients hesitate to get medically necessary dental work done because of their budget, so justifying dental cosmetics from a financial perspective can be especially difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when you look at the numbers, teeth whitening is more affordable than you might think! Rest assured, brightening your grin doesn\u2019t have to break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Average Cost of Professional Whitening Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While in-office treatments can run you about $1,000, professionally provided take-home kits like the kind you can get Capron Park Dental typically only cost between $100 and $600. It\u2019s true that store-bought kits are generally cheaper, but they also aren\u2019t customized for your unique smile, and don\u2019t provide the dramatic results most patients are looking for. Your dentist\u2019s personalized kits can help you avoid long-term dental sensitivity and <\/em>make your teeth up to eight shades whiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Dental Insurance Cover Teeth Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, most dental insurance companies don\u2019t offer any coverage for teeth whitening because it\u2019s not a \u201cmedically necessary\u201d treatment. That said, it\u2019s still worth checking your policy (particularly the fine print about your deductible). Even without coverage, though, there are still ways you can save money on a professional teeth whitening treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Treatment More Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many dental practices these days understand that insurance isn\u2019t available to everyone (or for every treatment). To help make their services more affordable and accessible, they\u2019ll usually have flexible financing or membership plans. Here\u2019s what your options look like at Capron Park Dental:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
