Q. Is Rapid White as good as professional tooth whitening treatments?
- A. Rapid White is not directly comparable with these treatments as these are based on high-concentration peroxide formulations. These formulations are often faster at tackling staining within the teeth; however they tend to be quite expensive. It is important to mention that neither professional nor home-use tooth whitening treatments can whiten teeth beyond your natural tooth colour, which is normally very white. Tooth colour can only be improved beyond this by applying veneers to the teeth.
Q. How much does Rapid White cost?
- A. Rapid White product prices vary depending on the level of whitening you desire and are extremely affordable compared to professional dental treatments.
