Teeth Whitening in Chicago and Beyond

Whether looking for teeth whitening in Chicago or any area, it is not always necessary to start researching local dentists. However, as recent as 20 years ago, only dentists could provide any dental bleaching services. The flood of over the counter teeth whitening products did not even begin until the mid 1990\'s. Prior to that point, a dentist would either need to scratch the surface of your teeth or use a mild acid to etch them before applying a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (around 30-33%) in order whiten teeth and produce a whiter smile. The average price of this type of teeth whitening service typically averaged around $150.


Nowadays, however, that price would seem quite reasonable when compared to the average cost of a professional teeth whitening. The range of price for in office dental bleaching services today is roughly $300-1,000. At the high end of the professional teeth whitening spectrum is the laser treatment. Using pulses of concentrated light, a dentist zaps your teeth which are coated with a dental bleaching gel. The laser activates the ingredients in the gel and quickly whitens teeth. The cost of this procedure does hover between $600-1,000 but you can emerge from the office with visibly whiter teeth in around an hour.


However, if you think that the removal of stains should not require taking out a small loan, there are a wide range of dental teeth bleaching products available over the counter, including:


In all honesty, the least effective of these home teeth whitening products is the gum. Frankly, you would be better off saving your money and at least buying the dental whitening toothpaste but even this option has very limited effectiveness and can take several weeks-even months-before you notice a whiter smile. While the teeth whitening cost of either of these products is at the low end of the spectrum-so too is the effectiveness.


Teeth whitening strips can actually help remove mild to moderate staining and they are typically applied overnight. The strips are coated with a dental bleaching agent that slowly removes stains while you sleep. It typically takes around 2-3 weeks for a person using teeth whitening strips to notice whiter teeth.


Dental bleaching kits make use of trays that fit tightly over the teeth. These teeth whitening kits also come with a bleaching gel that removes stains. Persons using these trays need to be sure not to use too much of the dental teeth bleaching gel as it will then leak out and onto the gums and cause irritation. These teeth bleaching kits will remove moderate to slightly severe staining so long as no discoloration appears on any dental work. It typically takes around two weeks for the user to notice a whiter smile. But, when looking for teeth whitening in Chicago and beyond, at home kits are the most effective over the counter products available.
