Who doesn’t want a whiter smile? Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments at the DentalSpa in Indianapolis, IN. Dr. Amy Marckese offers multiple options for teeth whitening including Opalescence Boost and customized Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kits.
In cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening may be the quickest, easiest, and most affordable way to transform your smile. Our teeth whitening options are safe and effective, designed to minimize tooth and gum sensitivity and yield the best results.
Benefits of Opalescence
Opalescence is specially formulated with PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride) that helps to:
- Prevent dehydration
- Reduce tooth sensitivity
- Improve shade retention
The Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kit includes the innovative whitening gel, custom-fit teeth whitening tray, tray case, and shade guide. The custom-fit tray ensures that the whitening gel will be administered evenly and properly without causing damage to the gums or tooth enamel.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
How does professional teeth whitening compare to over the counter options?
There are many over the counter options for teeth whitening including whiting toothpaste, whitening strips, and gels. For patients who want the best results, professional treatment is still the best choice. DentalSpa offers teeth whitening systems with custom fit trays to ensure even whitening of the teeth.
In addition, our products are specially formulated to reduce tooth sensitivity, a common side effect of whitening.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments available. The cost of your whitening treatment will depend on the type of whitening you choose and your desired outcome.
In office whitening costs an average of $500 per treatment and at home whitening can range between $250 and $500 depending on the system you choose. Refills for touch up treatment may be an additional cost. Contact our office for more specific details.
Will teeth whitening cause my teeth to be more sensitive?
One of the more common side effects of teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity. Dr. Marckese carefully supervises teeth whitening treatments to ensure minimal side effects. The products we use are specially formulated to virtually eliminate sensitivity.
How long does whitening last?
The results of teeth whitening will vary based on each individual. Most patients can expect whitening to last six months to a year. Touch-up treatment every four to six months can help extend the treatment results. Visiting the dentist regularly and avoiding smoking and dark foods will also help to keep your teeth white and bright.
