How much does laser teeth whitening cost in Australia?

The cost of laser teeth whitening typically cost AUD1000 or more. Variations exist depending on the area, type of practice and type of materials or laser used. Laser teeth whitening out of general dental practices, such as beauty salons or teeth whitening kiosks will be considerably cheaper. But one needs to be wary as these outlets are generally unregulated and does not possess the ability to assess the type of tooth discolouration or cause of yellow teeth like a dentist can. Results are often highly unpredictable and there have been reports of chemical burns and other oral effects due to the lack of professional supervision. Thus the general recommendation before undergoing any type of treatment on your teeth is to first consult your dentist’s opinion. Also, the higher the number of appointments or procedure needed, the higher the cost will be. Hence it is very important to always check with your dentist, an estimation of the full cost for the complete teeth whitening treatment.

Is it covered by my insurance?

In Australia, there are a variety of health funds, up to 30 different funds, which provide dental cover but bear in mind that each has their own health cover policies and it is important to check with your health fund provider in regards to rebates that are applicable. In general, most health fund covers the basic dental care which includes an annual dental exam and scale clean. Procedures involving cosmetic dentistry, or in this context, teeth whitening are generally not covered and the cost may need to be forked out by the patient entirely. In the case where your health fund provider does cover a percentage of certain treatments, please note that it is up to you to check with your health fund as this is totally out of the dentists’ control. According to the Australian Dental Association, dental fees are conventionally divided as followed: 68% direct patient payments, 17% government and 15% health funds.
