Opalescence Teeth Whitening
Benage Dental Care is proud to offer two variations of Opalescence teeth whitening to help brighten your smile! Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage will help you determine which solution best fits your needs.
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.
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.
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! Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage recommend the Boost treatment for those who need quick, more specialized attention.
Opalescence Go™ Take-Home Whitening
Looking for a convenient and flexible teeth whitening solution? Opalescence Go™ offers the same whitening gel and trays as Boost™ (without light activation) along with the convenience of completing the treatment in the comfort of your home.
Explore the Opalescence Go™ take-home kits at Benage Dental Care:
- Flexibility and Convenience: Opalescence Go™ take-home kits provide the flexibility to whiten your teeth at your own pace and in the comfort of your home.
- Low Initial Cost: At-home whitening kits are typically more budget-friendly, making teeth whitening accessible to a broader range of individuals.
- Exceptional Results: Opalescence Go™ whitening kits allow you to achieve professional results at a cost-effective price point.
Opalescence Go™ is an exceptional cosmetic dentistry option for those seeking a cost-effective, flexible treatment plan. If you’re interested in this option, our dental team is ready to help you through each step of the whitening process.
Give Benage Dental Care a call to learn more about our at-home whitening kits! These dental trays are optimized for those with dental anxiety and busy schedules.
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 Kits
During a set-aside appointment, Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage will:
- 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.
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.
At-Home Whitening
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!
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions about Benage Dental Care’s Opalescence whitening treatments? You’ve come to the right place! We’ve split up common questions into the sections listed below. We have years of experience serving patients in the Cleburne area with their dental needs.
What If I Have Sensitive Teeth?
You can still be able to whiten your teeth even with sensitivity. Benage Dental Care comes equipped with these tools to help secure your smile:
- Dental Sedation: We have dental sedatives available for those who experience sensitivity or are uneasy about performing dental work. Our skilled team will help you through each step of the process.
- In-Office Supervision: Professional teeth whitening at the hand of a specialized dentist greatly reduces the risk of damage or pain to your teeth.
- Minimal Pain: With in-office Opalescence whitening, you can achieve a whiter smile in one visit, mitigating the potential pain caused by over-exposure to whitening products.
Can I Whiten my Dental Prosthetics?
Traditional whitening methods often do not work on dental prosthetics due to the materials that the prosthetics use. If possible, we recommend whitening your teeth before receiving dental prosthetics. Don’t hesitate to consult with one of our dentists if you think you could benefit from a prosthetic treatment.
Is Teeth Whitening Painful?
Teeth whitening doesn’t generally cause pain. If you have more sensitive teeth, you may experience minimal discomfort as your mouth adjusts to the treatment. In the case that you do feel pain, let your dentist know. However, it should wear off relatively quickly.
Benage Dental Care is happy to offer sedation options for those who deal with dental anxiety or sensitivity. Consult with Drs. Mark and AnneMarie Benage if you have any concerns or requests about your comfort during the procedure. We are happy to accommodate you during any of your treatments.
How Do I Care for Whitened Teeth?
Though Opalescence teeth whitening is powerful, it is not invincible to potential misuse. At Benage Dental Care, we strive to give you the dental education you need to keep your teeth healthy and white. These steps can help you keep your teeth white for as long as possible:
- Avoid Acidic Drinks: Wine, coffee, or soda can eat away the chemicals that keep your teeth white. Consume these beverages in moderation to keep your smile bright and white!
- Brush after Meals: Make a habit of brushing after meals to prevent food buildup on your teeth. This habit can reduce the bacteria that causes plaque and tartar.
- Schedule Regular Cleanings: Teeth whitening treatments last longer when good oral care practices are followed. Regular cleanings can ensure your teeth remain clean, strong, and white.
How Long Does Opalescence Teeth Whitening Last?
Opalescence teeth whitening lasts about 12–24 months. The time these treatments take depends on the treatment method you use and how well you take care of your teeth.
These lasting results are best achieved by trusting a well-rounded dentist who can assist in your whitening journey. Our Cleburne office has the tools and the expertise needed to give you top-notch results that look and feel good.
