How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
The total cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the treatment option selected and your starting tooth shade. In-office whitening is the most popular choice for faster results using professional-grade products, while custom take-home trays offer a more budget-friendly option with gradual whitening over several days. Both options provide more noticeable, longer-lasting results than over-the-counter strips, which typically fade within 2–4 months.
