It could be costing your practice more than you realize
When your patients request professional teeth whitening, are you still taking impressions and fabricating custom bleach trays? If so, when was the last time you performed a thorough cost of goods (COG) analysis? You might find that the process costs your practice more than you know, and to make a profit, your price could be prohibitively expensive for the average patient.

This COG will vary from office to office, but after adding up these costs you might find it to be about $100-$200+ just to fabricate the custom trays, not including the whitening gel syringes. If you want to make a profit, you must charge $200-$400. This could be too big of a sell for your team just for whitening, especially when you want them focused on handling more valuable treatment. If you’re giving whitening away, as some offices do for promotion, that’s a lot of cash!
