TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS
Why choose professional whitening instead of over-the-counter products?
Teaming up with your dentist is the best way to get the whitening results you want. Your dentist knows your oral health and can make recommendations that will allow you to get the best results in a time frame that works for you. Your dentist can also help you understand how the whitening process works, monitor your progress, and treat any sensitivity issues that may arise.
In-Office + Take Home
Need whitening results fast? Ask your dentist about an Opalescence in-office whitening treatment. This treatment is performed start to finish in the dental office, giving you powerful, professional results in about an hour. We make custom trays and apply a more concentrated bleaching solution while you sit for about 30 minutes. You will continue to bleach at home to continue the process. Great for getting ready for big events like job interviews or weddings!
