Downsview Dental Care In-House Versus Take-Home Teeth Whitening | Page 16

In-house teeth whitening is a very expensive procedure compared to take-home
whitening kits. The bleaching agents used here are way stronger; therefore,
results are realized instantly. You will also be under the professional care of a
trained dentist which is safer compared to using a take-home kit. It is because of
this special attention that your dentist can charge as much as $700 for a single
session.
You may also experience some discomfort on your gums during the entire session.
This discomfort is partly because of having to sit still with your mouth open for
an hour and also because of the bleaching agent. Dentists mitigate the discomfort
on the gums with peroxide and fluoride gels.
