What is Opalescence®?
Types of Opalescence® Whitening Treatments
Opalescence® PF Custom Tray Whitening (At-Home)
This is a well-liked option for those wishing to whiten their teeth from home. Our dentist will create custom trays to fit your teeth perfectly. You receive a professional-strength whitening gel in a number of flavors, like mint or melon. You place the gel in the trays and wear them for a prescribed period each day, as prescribed by our dentist.
Opalescence Go® Prefilled Whitening Trays (Ready-to-Use)
If you want a one-step process, Opalescence Go® trays come pre-filled with whitening gel. These disposable trays are made with special UltraFit™ material that moulds to your teeth perfectly. You just need to insert them into your mouth, and they’re ready to go!
Opalescence® Boost™ In-Office Whitening
For those looking for instant whitening results, this option is done right in the office. Our dentist will paint the whitening gel on your teeth in a chair-side visit, and you will see results in about an hour. This option does not use uncomfortable lights or lasers, making it more pleasant for the patient.
Who Can Get Opalescence® Whitening?
- Healthy Teeth and Gums: Your mouth should be disease-free before any whitening, free of decay, gum disease, or other dental issues.
- Surface Stains: Opalescence® works best on surface stains, i.e., stains due to coffee, tea, wine, or smoking, which are considered extrinsic stains.
- Realistic Goals: Whitening makes natural teeth look brighter, but we can’t start changing the color of fillings, crowns, or any other dental work you may have in your mouth.
- Right Age: Most dentists recommend waiting to whiten until someone is at least 16 years old.
- Following Instructions: Success is based on following the dentist’s instructions exactly as written to use the whitening system.
Benefits of Opalescence® Teeth Whitening
- The professional whitening gel works much better than anything you can purchase on the shelf. The whitening agent is much stronger and results in whiter teeth in much less time.
- Opalescence® gels include special agents to reduce tooth sensitivity while whitening. This leads to a more comfortable whitening experience.
- Evaluation by our dentist includes selecting the appropriate concentration and delivery system for you, which results in better outcomes.
- Opalescence® includes fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel and might help prevent cavities.
- Opalescence® has a few take-home products to make whitening easier for your busy schedule; you can whiten teeth on your schedule and in the comfort of your own home.
- A brighter and whiter smile can help you feel better about yourself and be more confident in social situations.
Science has proven that with professionally controlled bleaching agents, it is safe to eliminate years of staining without risk of damage to your teeth. When conducted by a trained and licensed professional in the dental field, whitening is one of the safest cosmetic dental procedures. When you are professionally whitening, you’ll also get to rely on continuous support from our dental team. You can ask our dentist in Kirkland about any questions or concerns you have during your treatment. Because you are getting a professional service, you should end up with the optimal possible results and be sure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.
Aftercare for Your Whitening Treatment
- Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks (First 48 Hours): Your teeth will likely absorb stains soon after the whitening process. Do not consume coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, berries, or tobacco for at least the first 24 to 48 hours.
- Maintain Your Teeth Clean: You should brush at least twice daily and floss once a day to remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.
- Keep Up With Regular Dental Visits: Coming in for your regular cleaning will help remove surface stains and keep your teeth healthy.
- Touch-Up Treatments: Our dentist near you may recommend having some touch-up treatments periodically to maintain the brightness of your smile over time.
- Managing Sensitivity: If your teeth become sensitive after whitening, try a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. This usually resolves itself very quickly.
