Why Price Matters (But Shouldn't Be Your Only Factor)
While budget is important, choosing teeth whitening based solely on price can lead to disappointing results or even dental damage. The cheapest option often costs more in the long run when you factor in:
- •Ineffective treatments requiring multiple attempts
- •Enamel damage requiring expensive restorative work
- •Uneven results necessitating professional correction
- •Severe sensitivity requiring additional dental treatment

⚠️ Warning About Drugstore Kits: While drugstore whitening strips appear cost-effective (200-800 EGP), they often require multiple boxes for minimal results, have no professional supervision, can cause uneven whitening, and may damage enamel. The apparent savings quickly disappear when factoring in poor results and potential corrective treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions About Whitening Costs
How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Egypt?
Professional teeth whitening in Egypt costs between 3,000-8,000 EGP depending on the method. Laser whitening (6,000-8,000 EGP) offers fastest results in one session, Zoom whitening (5,000-7,000 EGP) provides similar outcomes with potentially less sensitivity, and professional home kits (3,000-5,000 EGP) are the most affordable option requiring 2-3 weeks of daily use.
What is included in teeth whitening cost?
Comprehensive teeth whitening packages should include: initial dental examination and consultation, professional cleaning and polishing, shade assessment with dental guide, the whitening procedure itself (gel + activation), protective barriers for gums and soft tissue, post-treatment fluoride application and desensitizing agents, aftercare instructions and maintenance products, and at least one follow-up consultation. Always confirm what's included before committing.
Is expensive teeth whitening worth it?
Professional teeth whitening provides superior, safer, and longer-lasting results compared to drugstore products. The investment delivers 3-8 shades improvement, lasts 1-3 years with proper care, and includes professional supervision to prevent complications. When you calculate cost per year (1,500-4,000 EGP annually), professional whitening offers excellent value compared to repeatedly purchasing ineffective drugstore products.
Are there payment plans for teeth whitening?
Yes, many dental clinics in Egypt offer flexible payment options including installment plans through partner banks (3-6 months with low/no interest), credit card payments with reward points, package deals combining multiple treatments at discounted rates, and seasonal promotions (10-20% off). At Perla Clinic, we work with patients to find payment solutions that fit their budgets.
What affects teeth whitening cost?
Teeth whitening costs vary based on several factors: treatment method (laser, Zoom, or home kits), clinic location and reputation, dentist's experience level and qualifications, whitening gel concentration and brand quality, included services (cleaning, maintenance kit, follow-ups), number of sessions required for desired results, and current promotions or package deals. Always compare total value, not just initial price.
