What Determines the Cost of Teeth Whitening?
The main differences in price come from how the whitening is performed and how many sessions are included.
A single professional in-office session costs $100, while three in-office sessions cost $300. Patients who prefer an at-home option can choose the $150 take-home whitening kit.
There is also a $250 combined option that includes one professional in-office whitening session plus a take-home kit.
Your starting tooth shade and desired result are also important. Some patients may be satisfied with one professional session, while others choose multiple sessions or combine in-office and take-home whitening.
One Whitening Session vs. Three Sessions
A single whitening session is the lowest-cost in-office option at $100 USD. It may be appropriate for someone looking for professional whitening without committing to several appointments.
The three-session option costs $300 USD and allows whitening to be completed over multiple appointments.
When patients complete multiple whitening sessions, appointments are typically spaced every other day to help reduce sensitivity. This is particularly important for international patients because three sessions require more time in Cartagena than a single appointment.
The number of sessions that makes sense for you depends on your starting shade and desired result. Whitening results vary, so more sessions should not automatically be assumed to be necessary for every patient.
In-Office vs. Take-Home Whitening Costs
The $100 in-office option is completed professionally at the Cartagena clinic.
The $150 take-home kit allows you to continue whitening outside the dental office according to the dentist's instructions.
For patients interested in combining the two approaches, the $250 package includes one professional in-office session plus a take-home kit.
Rather than choosing based only on price, consider whether you prefer whitening completed in the dental office, an option you can use at home, or a combination of both.
Are There Other Teeth Whitening Costs to Consider?
A dental cleaning and teeth whitening are separate treatments. Whether you should have a cleaning or other dental care before whitening depends on the condition of your teeth and gums.
If the dentist identifies plaque or tartar buildup, cavities, gum inflammation, or another dental issue that should be addressed before whitening, additional treatment would be separate from the whitening prices above unless specifically included in your treatment plan.
Existing dental restorations are another consideration. Veneers, crowns, and fillings do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, tell the dental team before treatment so they can consider how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile.
What If I'm Planning Veneers or Crowns in Cartagena?
If whitening is part of a larger cosmetic treatment plan, the order of treatment can matter.
Whitening may sometimes be completed before the final shade of porcelain veneers or crowns is selected. This allows the dentist to consider the shade of your whitened natural teeth when planning restorations that will be visible when you smile.
If you're considering whitening alongside porcelain veneers in Cartagena, discuss both treatments with the dental team before beginning whitening.

How Long Should I Stay in Cartagena for Teeth Whitening?
Your treatment schedule depends on the whitening option you choose.
A single in-office whitening session requires only one whitening appointment, while the three-session option requires multiple visits. When multiple whitening sessions are planned, they are typically spaced every other day to help reduce sensitivity.
If you have limited time in Cartagena, share your travel dates with our team before scheduling so we can help determine how your whitening appointments can fit into your stay.
The take-home kit may also be worth discussing if your travel schedule makes multiple in-office appointments difficult.
