Prescott Take-Home Whitening

Prescott Dental Arts offers Opalescence Take-Home Teeth Whitening for Prescott, Arizona

There are many whitening options offered at Prescott Dental Arts. For the person who prefers to be in charge of when and how much they whiten their teeth, we recommend Opalescence. Opalescence is teeth whitening that is done at home.

This take-home whitening, offered at our Prescott AZ office, helps our patients get the bright white smile they have always wanted in the comfort of their own home. Opalescence uses custom trays that fit tightly to a person’s teeth, and a professional-strength whitening gel only available through a licensed dental professional. The gels are stronger than the ones offered over the counter and they come in a variety of flavors and formulations.

What is in Opalescence Gels and How Does Whitening Work?

Every person deals with stains and discoloration of their teeth. With everything a person eats and drinks throughout their life, their teeth will eventually begin to yellow. Stains on teeth are actually placed into two different categories called extrinsic or intrinsic. Extrinsic stains are stains that occur on the surface of the teeth. Intrinsic stains are stains that get into the microscopic cracks that develop in tooth enamel and dentin.

Because intrinsic stains are in the enamel and dentin, over counter whitening products like whitening toothpaste, strips, or mouthwashes are not effective. Only professional strength gels can truly whiten teeth affected by extrinsic and intrinsic stains. Fortunately, Opalescence gels contain strong whitening ingredients consisting of either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These active whitening ingredients penetrate the tooth enamel to whiten the deep stains resulting in a brighter, whiter smile.

How Long Does Opalescence Results Last? 

The results achieved by using Opalescence will vary from person to person. Because each person’s teeth are different, so will the results differ. One of the greatest factors that affect the results achieved by Opalescence is a person’s dedication to using the trays. Each person should use the trays and gel as instructed by the dentist. 

Once a person achieves the white look they were wanting they can stop using the trays. However, one benefit of Opalescence is that a person can use the trays over and over so long as no major changes to their teeth occur. Of course, as a person begins to eat and drink normally stains can again begin to accumulate on the teeth. If a patient finds their white smile has begun to fade or yellow, they only need to purchase more whitening gel to begin to whiten once again.
