Teeth Whitening – Upper Arlington, OH
Proven, Transformative Results with Professional Treatment
Tooth discoloration happens for a variety of reasons, including consuming stain-causing foods and beverages, enamel erosion, and even from taking certain medications, like tetracycline. While many patients turn to store-bought whitening toothpastes and strips first, it doesn’t take long for them to realize that those products aren’t designed to offer the stunning results they’re hoping for. Fortunately, Dr. Jayme Glamm offers convenient take-home and in-office teeth whitening treatments that contain highly concentrated, professional-grade ingredients and are customized to fit your unique smile.

Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
The best candidates for teeth whitening in Upper Arlington are those who are unsatisfied with the brightness of their smile. We recommend receiving your bi-annual checkup and cleaning before treatment to allow you to enjoy the best possible results as well as ensure you have good oral health. Then, once you’ve confirmed that you’re ready to move forward with treatment, you can choose between our in-office teeth whitening, which takes about an hour, or our take-home kit that’s customized just for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
During your appointment, we’ll discuss both of your treatment options with you, including Zoom! in-office teeth whitening and Ultradent or Zoom! take-home teeth whitening kits. Based on the information we provide you with, you’ll be able to choose the one that best fits with your busy schedule and lifestyle.
Take-Home Treatment
We offer both Zoom! and Ultradent take-home teeth whitening kits. These include customized dental trays as well as concentrated, high-quality whitening gel that you can place in them to ensure you achieve an even coating over your smile. Typically, these kits require about two weeks of use to achieve optimal brightness.
In-Office Treatment
For those who are busier and would rather not fuss with doing the treatment themselves at home, we also offer in-office Zoom! teeth whitening. The treatment will be overseen by a trained professional, so you won’t have to worry about whether or not you’re applying the whitening gel correctly. The process also only takes about an hour, achieving a smile that’s up to eight times brighter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Newly Brightened Smile
We recommend visiting us for touch-ups every six to eight months, depending on your lifestyle and how many staining foods and beverages you consume. To get the most out of your results, be sure to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home, visit Dr. Glamm regularly for checkups and cleanings, and avoid bad oral habits like smoking.
Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening
It seems like everyone wants a brighter, healthier-looking smile, but many patients wonder about the costs associated with teeth whitening treatments. At Glamm Dentistry, our team strives to be as forthcoming and accurate as possible with every aspect of your whitening treatment. However, there are several factors to consider for every patient, so it can be difficult to quote a price. If you want to learn more about these factors and see how to make teeth whitening more affordable, read more below.
Factors that Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening
Our team does have a set price point for our whitening treatments, but there are several variables that can affect the final cost. These include:
- The Severity of Your Discoloration: Surface stains are much easier to clean than ones that have penetrated the enamel. The more intense your stains are, the more treatments you may need.
- The Type of Stains Present: Discoloration isn’t just from food and drink. Aging, medications, and even infections can be the cause! Glamm may recommend other treatments to correct these issues.
- The Presence of Dental Restorations: Whitening agents can’t brighten crowns, veneers, or other restorations, so you may need to have them replaced to complete your desired look.
Types of Teeth Whitening: What Do They Cost?
There are several types of teeth whitening treatments you could use and each one has a different price point. Here’s a helpful scale to see what to expect for the costs associated with each one:
- Gels or Strips: These are typically found in any grocery store or pharmacy and typically go for around $20 to $40 per box.
- Over-the-Counter Trays: Products like this are typically mass-produced and come with a set of trays for your teeth along with whitening gel for around $100.
- Take-Home Whitening Kits: Our take-home kits cost a couple hundred dollars and come with professional-grade whitening chemicals and custom-fit trays.
- In-Office Whitening: If you want the fastest and most powerful results, our in-office teeth whitening treatments costs between $400 and $800.
Fast Teeth Whitening VS Inexpensive Teeth Whitening
It can be tempting to look at the prices above and choose the cheapest option available, especially if you’re on a tight budget. However, there are many reasons why our patients actively seek out our professional treatments over store-bought ones!
When it comes to your teeth, cheaper can often mean messier, less effective, and more irritating. This is especially true for whitening treatments. Whitening strips, for example, only have a small fraction of the strength of our professional chemicals. This often leads to patients treating their teeth with multiple boxes, causing frustration, enamel wear, and tooth sensitivity over time.
Options For Making Teeth Whitening Affordable
It’s understandable that many patients don’t have the means to afford professional treatments when they want them. Dental insurance hardly ever covers elective procedures, but our team has some exciting offers to help you afford the brilliant smile you’ve always wanted!
- CareCredit Financing: We accept CareCredit for qualifying patients! This service allows you to finance all your care—cosmetic dentistry included—and pay it off in low-to-no-interest payments.
- $100 Off Special Offer: Our team wants everyone to try our professional whitening treatments, so we are proudly offering $100 off here!
