When you have whiter teeth, you can feel more confident in a whole range of situations. You are more likely to be able to present well in front of a group of people in the boardrom, you can fall more easily into relaxed laughter on a date, and you will smile more easily in photographs.

But while everybody would love to have whiter and brighter teeth, for many people, financial constraints are a big stumbling block. There are, however, alternative options to paying for top of the range teeth whitening services at a cosmetic dental clinic that could give you near enough the same results.

Here are some options:

At-home teeth whitening from the dentist. If you are wary about picking up cheap teeth whitening solutions from over the counter, there is an option that falls in between this and professional teeth whitening in a clinic. Instead of using lasers in the dental clinic to speed up the whitening process, many cosmetic dentists or dental clinics offering teeth whitening services, like Revesby Dental Centre, will offer you the opportunity to have a bespoke teeth whitening tray created for you that you can use at home. Because the tray will be fitted exactly for your mouth, you can expect it to work on every part of your enamel and for there to be little gum exposure to potentially harmful whitening formula.

Discount and voucher sites. If you live in a city, it is likely that there are discount and voucher sites that offer discounts across all kinds of products and services. For limited times, you can find big price cuts on things like hotel stays, spa days, electronic items, and teeth whitening. This is a great way of finding a deal on professional in-clinic teeth whitening at a fraction of the regular cost. Many of the businesses offering deals will be new businesses that use these sites as a way to build business, and using a new dental clinic can be risky. Be sure to have a thorough talk with the clinic to ensure you are comfortable with them before booking.

Natural teeth whitening methods. If the idea of putting any chemicals on your teeth is frightening to you, you can stick to home remedies and save your pennies at the same time. There are many products that are safe, natural, and easily accessible that have been shown to whiten teeth, such as baking soda, turmeric, fresh strawberries, and by oil pulling.

Enjoy your new smile!
