Opalescence™ Boost™
In-Office Whitening
Our Opalescence™ Boost™ treatment whitens your teeth using a whitening gel placed in custom-fit trays. Once the trays are secured on your teeth, a specialized, in-office light activates agents in the whitening gel for faster, more effective whitening.
These in-office results also last longer and can be customized to your desired shade of white. Give yourself a beautiful smile with our Opalescence™ Boost™ treatment plan!

If you want professional, pristine results under the supervision of our experienced dental team, in-office whitening might be the option for you. Take a look at the pros of Opalescence™ Boost™:
- Immediate Results: Opalescence™ Boost™ in-office treatments take effect immediately. Achieve a noticeably brighter smile after just one visit!
- Professional Supervision: Oversight from our skilled dental professionals helps better ensure your dental safety and provide optimal results for your smile.
- Customized Treatment: In-office treatments like Opalescence™ Boost™ can easily adjust to individual circumstances such as dental anxiety or sensitive teeth.
Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage recommend the Boost treatment for those who need quick, more specialized attention.
Opalescence™ Go™

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a versatile solution for patients 14 or older looking to enhance the brightness of their smile. You may be an excellent candidate for teeth whitening if you fit in one of the following categories.
Stained or Discolored Teeth
Whether your teeth are stained from years of coffee, red wine, or tobacco consumption, teeth whitening can effectively lift away these stains. Reveal a brighter and whiter smile with an experienced Texas dental team!
Minimal Tooth Damage
Teeth whitening tools are more effective for teeth that are stained but not extremely damaged. If you have yellow or brown teeth, teeth whitening could be a good option for you. Black or damaged teeth can be fixed using our specialty dental prosthetics such as crowns and veneers!
Prime Oral Health
For optimal results, it’s important to start with a healthy foundation. Consult with your dentist about how to address any dental infection or gum disease before requesting a teeth whitening treatment. Performing these tasks first will help your teeth adjust to a brighter smile easily.
Dampened Self-Confidence
If you don’t love how your smile looks, it can affect your self-confidence. Teeth whitening is a non-surgical and relatively quick cosmetic procedure that can boost your smile’s appearance quickly. If you feel self-conscious about stained or discolored teeth, whitening may be the ideal solution for you. In a matter of a few hours you can start loving your new smile!
How We Whiten Your Teeth
Whitening your teeth is rather simple with Benage Dental Care. The steps that our team takes will depend on the whitening method you pick. Our dentists will discuss which method will work best for you during your initial appointment.
In-Office Whitening
Experience a brighter, more radiant smile with our professional teeth whitening process at Benage Dental Care. Drs. Mark and AnnMarie Benage ensure your comfort every step of the way, delivering long-lasting results tailored to your needs.
Following the procedure, the dentist may advise you to avoid eating or drinking for about 30 minutes to help the product take full effect. After this, you and your teeth should be good to go! There are usually no additional kits or follow-up visits for this procedure.
Prepare Your Teeth
Our dentists need to analyze your teeth to determine the best course of action. They will then create an environment that will reduce any dental pain or discomfort.
Use Whitening Gels
The dentist will first apply a hydrogen peroxide gel to clear out the stains on your teeth. This gel is harmless and will provide long-lasting results.
Seal the Teeth
Our team then uses a special blue light to activate the whitening gel for immediate and effective results. This light helps speed up the whitening process.
At Home Whitening
ready. set. go.
Opalescence Go™ at-home whitening kits are similar to the in-office kits. A clear difference is that instead of activating the gel with a specialized light, you will wear the whitening trays for a longer period (e.g. 30 minutes every day for two weeks).
Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage will advise you on how best to use the trays depending on your needs and desired results.
With at-home whitening, patients must be consistent and keep up the routine for several weeks. Because at-home whitening lacks the technology and professional hand that in-office whitening has, it can take longer to complete. However, that extra time might be worthwhile if you’ve got a few minutes to squeeze into every day but no time for a longer appointment.
Preparing for an Opalescence Whitening Appointment
From the front desk to the dentist chair, we treat our patients like family, so there’s no need to stress when preparing for teeth whitening at Benage Dental Care. We will go over any instructions and address your concerns or questions before the treatment begins.
As you are getting ready for your appointment, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Perform a Dental Cleaning
Our dentists recommend that you perform your regular dental cleaning before the appointment to prepare your teeth for teeth whitening. The cleaner your teeth are before the appointment, the easier they will take the whitening treatment.
Reduce Dental Infection
Unfortunately, we are not able to perform teeth whitening on infected or severely damaged teeth. If you struggle with these issues, our dentists are happy to help you restore your oral health. Our clinic offers services such as specialized laser treatments to treat infected areas efficiently.
Eat 30 Minutes Before
We recommend that you eat at least 30 minutes before your appointment because you won’t be able to eat while the whitening solution settles. No need to go hungry during your treatment!
Brush Thoroughly
Be sure to keep up good dental cleaning habits (such as brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash) at home to rid your teeth of bacteria or plaque. One thorough cleaning before the appointment can help reduce the risk of complications during the whitening procedure.
Our dentists will advise you with any specific instructions during our initial appointment. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask!
