The problem of teeth whitening is not so much a desire to proudly demonstrate to the surrounding beauty of your smile. By and large this is just a tribute to fashion.
It is much more important to have healthy teeth. And from this point of view, cleaning the tooth surface and whitening the enamel to a natural, rather than blinding white color is of great importance.
Color change is the result of the formation of plaque accumulating on the teeth as a result of non-observance of oral hygiene, eating foods with coloring properties, destruction, thinning of the upper layer of enamel. Teeth turn yellow, gray, sometimes darken almost to blackness, which, of course, from the outside looks extremely unpleasant.
In addition, with the advent of a plaque, initially soft, but gradually degenerating into a hard tartar, 
significantly increases the likelihood of inflammation in soft tissues, caries, and other dental diseases.
It becomes uncomfortable to find a person in the society, because in addition to the unaesthetic appearance of the teeth, there is an unpleasant smell from the mouth, which is almost impossible to remove with the help of a standard tooth brushing, the use of various rinsing lotions, aerosols, agents with strong odors for oral care.
The problem should be solved as soon as possible. But in what way? What method of cleaning teeth to choose and how much will it cost to whiten teeth at the dentist, depending on the method used?
Consider variants of
There are a lot of solutions to the problem. We will not dwell on the "barbaric" folk methods that promise the crystal whiteness of teeth after the application of hydrogen peroxide, soda, citric acid, etc.
All these tools are really capable for some time to return the former color to the teeth. But at what cost?
Yes, home procedures using improvised bleaching agents cost money does not require.
The right solution is to consider the methods of teeth whitening offered by modern aesthetic dentistry. There are a lot of them, but for all their diversity they are divided into two categories - professional and non-professional.
The first category includes procedures performed by a doctor in the clinic, as well as bleaching techniques, which the patient applies in practice independently at home, but for the purpose, under the guidance and supervision of a specialist. Cabinet bleaching in turn is divided into chemical and hardware.
For the implementation of chemical teeth whitening special compounds are used in which some substances act in the rhodium of the clarifier, others are the catalyst of the desired reaction.
The method is unsafe, rather painful, requiring a course application. Currently, chemical teeth whitening is used in some clinics, but it is rare.
Much more popular is the modern hardware methods of teeth whitening. To perform the procedures, bleaching gels are used, but the reaction catalysts are apparatuses producing laser, thermal, ultraviolet radiation.
Under the action of light pulses, chemical reactions are triggered, the active components of the gel easily penetrate into the dentin, the surface of the teeth is cleaned of plaque and becomes lighter.
Unprofessional methods of home teeth whitening are the use of products that can be bought at any pharmacy. These are systems with kapami and bleaching gels, strips, pencils, special pastes, plates.
These drugs help to achieve the desired effect, but not so soon and not as much as the hardware methods.
How much does the office bleaching cost?

Therefore, from the options offered by the dentist-esthete, you can always choose the most suitable for the price and effectiveness.

The average cost of the service is 7-12 thousand rubles.depending on the status, location of the clinic, region.
