When is Opalescence teeth whitening used?

Opalescence teeth whitening is used in the following situations:

• Stained or Discolored Teeth: It helps remove surface stains caused by foods, beverages (such as coffee, tea, and wine), and tobacco use.
• Age-Related Yellowing: Teeth are naturally yellow with age, and Opalescence can brighten teeth that have lost their youthful color.
• Intrinsic Stains: Deep stains within the tooth enamel, often caused by medication (e.g., tetracycline) or excessive fluoride, can be treated with Opalescence.
• Post-Orthodontic Treatment: After braces are removed, teeth may appear discolored due to plaque buildup or uneven coloration, and whitening helps restore uniform color.
• Before Special Events: Many people choose Opalescence to enhance their smiles before weddings, job interviews, or other important occasions.
• Improving Aesthetic Confidence: Individuals seeking a more radiant and confident smile often use Opalescence as part of their cosmetic dental treatment plan.
• Opalescence understands that everyone's whitening needs are different. That's why we offer both in-office treatments for immediate results and take-home kits for gradual whitening. This flexibility empowers you to choose the whitening option that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
• Sensitivity Management: This technique is commonly used when patients need a whitening solution that minimizes tooth sensitivity during the process.

What does Opalescence teeth whitening involve?

Opalescence teeth whitening involves the application of a professional-grade whitening gel containing either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to the teeth. This gel breaks down stains and lightens discoloration within the enamel. The process can be done in-office for fast results or at home using custom-fit trays provided by the dentist. A dentist applies the gel directly to the teeth for in-office treatments and may use a light or heat source to accelerate the process. At-home treatments are more gradual, where patients wear trays filled with gel for a prescribed amount of time daily.
