I loved how white my teeth were after having an office whitening treatment a few years back. The dentist used a blue light method, but it was so expensive. I want to keep that bright-white smile, but can\u2019t afford that cost year after year. Is there something cheaper I could use and\u00a0would give me almost same results? — Miranda<\/p>\n

Dear Miranda,
\nWhile those in-office treatments are the best for giving you a fast and beautifully, white smile, today’s dental technology offers a\u00a0lot of other ways to whiten your teeth.<\/p>\n

Have you checked into the teeth whitening<\/a> trays your dentist can make? You\u2019ll get similar results to the in-office treatment, but it will just take a little longer. The good news is that these trays can be used at home and are very affordable because you pay for them once (unless you mouth changes or they damaged or broken). The only expense you have after that is whitening gel for touching up or boosting your color.<\/p>\n

There are also some dentist who will offer patients free bleaching trays and gel as an incentive to come in for regular cleanings. They will continue to give additional gel as needed provided you continue to follow-up with them for your routine visits.<\/p>\n
