How Does Opalescence Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
Cosmetic teeth whitening is designed to brighten the shade of your teeth, giving you a completely new look, quickly and effectively. Opalescence whitening gel works using carbamide peroxide, which breaks down to hydrogen peroxide, the active bleaching agent that eliminates stains from your teeth.
Opalescence offers safe, effective at-home whitening with Opalescence PF. Designed for easy-use, Opalescence PF comes in four different formulations for completely custom care. The formulations are also available in a number of pleasant flavors, including regular, mint, or melon.
It just takes a minimum of 30 minutes a day to get the smile you want! The teeth whitening trays can be worn in the day or night. You should expect to see results within the first week of treatment.
How to Keep Your Smile Bright
Since professional teeth whitening is not a permanent cosmetic solution, it’s imperative that you take proper care of your results if you want your smile to shine brightly for a longer period of time. After completing treatment, you can expect Dr. Sudeep to provide some helpful aftercare tips that will make it easier to avoid new stains, such as maintaining a good oral hygiene routine at home, seeing our dental team for regular checkups and cleanings every six months, limiting or avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages, and giving up smoking.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
No, you cannot expect your teeth whitening results to be permanent; however, you can take steps to extend the life of your brighter, shinier smile. Using the take-home trays provided by Dr. Sudeep, you can touch up your pearly whites anytime you notice that they appear dull and less vibrant than before. You can also adopt positive oral hygiene habits and the pursuit of preventive dental care year-round.
In addition, limiting your consumption of anything that can darken teeth over time (i.e., coffee, soda, tea, red wine, soy sauce, curry, etc.), as well as giving up unhealthy habits, like smoking, you increase your chances of enjoying a brighter set of teeth over time.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Worth the Cost?
Yes, if you want to invest in a cosmetic solution that brightens your smile and boosts your confidence in a way you’ve yet to experience, you cannot go wrong with choosing teeth whitening in Sunnyvale. This affordable and easy-to-use form of treatment will help you see the kind of smile that captures the eye of those around you. Whether it’s a potential employer, blind date, family, friends, or someone you haven’t seen since high school (20 years ago), the price you pay to see your smile shine is priceless.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Most professional, dentist-recommended products will not cause persistent sensitivity; however, store-bought options, like strips, gels, and toothpaste, certainly can. Dr. Sudeep will closely monitor and determine the appropriate amount of bleaching gel you should receive to achieve the results you want. However, before the process begins, you will need to inform our team if you experience increased tooth sensitivity. If so, we can adjust our treatment plan so that you remain comfortable after it’s complete.
Does Teeth Whitening Work on Dental Crowns?
If you have a dental crown, you may wonder if your dentist can whiten it to match the rest of your smile. Unfortunately, the answer is no, but here’s why:
Dental crowns are made of an artificial material, so they’re not porous like regular tooth enamel. Since the material cannot absorb anything that could cause cavities or tooth decay, it also cannot be affected by whitening agents. If this is a problem, you may need to inquire about having your dental crown replaced, or you can always whiten your teeth first before having a dental crown put in place.
