Opalescence Boost Whitener in Office

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

Dental whitening can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.

Opalescence Boost Whitener

Opalescence boost in-office power whitener is a chemically activated gel that provides brighter, whiter teeth.  Opalescence Boost Whitening contains potassium nitrate and fluoride which helps reduce sensitivity and improves the micro hardness of tooth enamel. The powerful 38% hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically activated, so it does not require a hot, uncomfortable light to work. The clinician will use retractors and barriers to protect the lips and soft tissue.  The total treatment time is a little more than an hour.

Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening

For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.

Considerations for Teeth Whitening

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.
