Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
Instead of reaching for a store-bought whitening kit, there are ways to achieve a whiter smile at home AND get the results you’re looking for. Our custom take-home whitening trays give you professional-grade results while still allowing you to whiten your teeth when it’s most convenient for you! All you have to do is come in for a quick appointment so that we can take impressions of your teeth. Using those impressions, we’ll make custom, plastic, retainer-like trays that fit snugly over your teeth. When you’re ready to whiten, you’ll distribute an even amount of bleaching gel throughout the retainers and then wear them for the recommended time. After a few treatments, you’ll see your teeth get brighter and brighter!
Opalescence™ Boost™ One-Visit Whitening
Our in-office whitening sessions can give you a smile up to eight shades lighter in as little as an hour. For quick whitening results, Opalescence Boost is the way to go! Our team will apply the thick bleaching gel directly onto your teeth. Unlike some professional whitening treatments that require a bright light to activate the gel, ours is chemically activated. That means that you won’t have to sit under a hot, uncomfortable light for an hour while the gel works its magic. We’ll put the gel in place and you can just sit back and relax until your desired results are achieved!
Cost of Teeth Whitening
The price of teeth whitening varies from person to person. It depends on the severity of your tooth discoloration and the type of whitening treatment you choose. At your consultation, we’ll provide you with an accurate price and go over our financial options to help you get the brighter, whiter smile that you deserve without breaking the bank!
Teeth Whitening FAQs
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on factors like your lifestyle, diet, and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, and maintaining good oral hygiene will help prolong the brightness. Regular touch-ups in our office or take-home whitening kits can also help maintain your results over time.
Will professional teeth whitening make my teeth feel sensitive?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after professional teeth whitening treatments, particularly to hot and cold temperatures. This sensitivity typically lasts for a few hours to a couple of days. We can provide recommendations to help manage sensitivity, such as using special toothpaste or gels designed to reduce discomfort. Overall, tooth sensitivity due to whitening is usually mild and resolves on its own after a short period.
Should I choose in-office or take-home teeth whitening?
In-office teeth whitening offers faster, more dramatic results, typically completed in one appointment. It’s ideal for those looking for immediate whitening for an upcoming event. Take-home whitening trays, on the other hand, provide a more gradual result but offer flexibility and the ability to enhance your smile in the comfort of your own home. Our team can help you decide based on your schedule, the level of whitening you desire, and any sensitivity concerns.
