Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
There are several different reasons why teeth may discolor over time. A few examples include genetics, certain medications, and an excessive amount of fluoride. However, the most common cause is frequent consumption of dark-colored beverages, like red wine and coffee. Whatever the case may be for you, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at our office if your pearly whites are no longer living up to their name. That way, we can determine if you’re a good candidate for one of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that we offer, like teeth whitening!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
After an in-depth exam and a discussion of your goals for your improved smile, Dr. Wardlaw can review your treatment options and help you decide which one is best for your unique needs and preferences. In the meantime, you can read on to learn a little more about take-home and in-office teeth whitening treatments in Arlington.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you’d rather not attend an appointment at our Arlington practice or you’re hoping to achieve more gradual results, we can provide you with a customized take-home kit instead. We’ll also share how to use them so you can achieve the bright, beautiful smile that you desire. Many patients notice changes after the very first application, with the most dramatic improvements occurring after a couple of weeks of diligent use.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If you have a busy schedule or are simply looking for immediate results, in-office whitening could be the right choice for you. You’ll only need to attend an hour-long appointment. During that time, our team will apply high-grade bleaching solution to your teeth in a safe and measured manner. By the time you’re ready to leave, the change will be noticeable. In fact, many patients find that their smile is now several shades brighter!
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
In an effort to prevent stubborn stains from resurfacing shortly after your whitening treatment, we recommend taking the following precautions:

Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening
Like many other patients, you may want to learn a little more about the cost of teeth whitening in Arlington. While we can’t provide you with an exact price online, we can share some helpful information on the topic. So, if you want to learn about the factors that impact the cost as well as the different financial solutions that are available, read on!
Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening
Oftentimes, patients assume that there is a flat fee. In reality, there are several factors that we need to consider in order to provide you with an accurate estimate, including:
- If any preliminary treatments are needed – If we find tooth decay, gum disease, or any other oral health problems during your initial exam, we will need to provide the necessary restorative care.
- The type of teeth whitening treatment that you choose – Typically, in-office treatments require a higher upfront investment.
- How subtle or dramatic you’d like the results to be – If you want a considerably brighter smile, then it may take more than one teeth whitening treatment to achieve the results that you desire.
Rest assured, our team at I-20 Family Dental will discuss the price in-depth once we have all of this information. We will also discuss the different financial solutions that are available at our office (more on that below).
Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?
There are a few different options for patients who want to address stubborn stains, including:
- In-Office Treatments – Oftentimes, these range from $400 to $800, but they can cost upwards of $1,000 if the stains are severe.
- Take-Home Treatments – The custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel usually cost a few hundred dollars.
- Over-the-Counter Whitening Kits – These typically cost less than $100, but it depends on the store and brand.
Inexpensive Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening
Since over-the-counter products usually cost less than $100, you might assume that’s the best place to start. However, these kits usually contain flimsy applicators and diluted whitening gels, which makes it hard to achieve noticeable results. Professional treatments, on the other hand, use powerful (and safe!) brighteners and custom applicators. Not only that, but we consider the source of the stains, which allows us to create a vibrant, more beautiful smile.
Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable
As you may have guessed, dental insurance providers don’t usually cover the cost of teeth whitening. The good news is that there is another way to make the price of in-office and take-home treatments more affordable: flexible financing! With CareCredit, you can break up the total cost into smaller monthly chunks that fit comfortably within your budget.
