Clinical Level Whitening Results
You’ll find a variety of teeth whitening strips, toothpastes, and other whitening products at your local drugstore but few provide lasting results. If you are concerned about staining or discolored teeth, come in to see Dr. Norman Katzoff for an in-office or professional take-home teeth whitening system. Dr. Katzoff is proud to offer Opalescence teeth whitening solutions at the practice.
How Opalescence Works
We offer both in-office and take home teeth whitening options. Opalescence Boost is an in-office procedure that takes about 1.5 hours. It is a painless treatment that involves applying a chemically activated whitening gel to the teeth for a total of 40 minutes of treatment time. There is no light or laser involved since the gel contains 40 percent hydrogen peroxide and fluoride.
Opalescence take-home whitening gel
contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to protect the tooth enamel during the whitening process. It’s available in four different concentrations depending on how much discoloration you have and requires daily application for at least 30 minutes a day. You can get professional results with this safe and convenient teeth whitening option.
In-Office vs. Take Home Teeth Whitening
Many patients ask us whether they should undergo the in-office procedure or whiten their teeth with the take home trays.
If you are looking for instant results before a special event or just want to give your smile a boost, an in-office treatment may be perfect for you.
If you want to gradually whiten your teeth for a special event or simply want more control over the whitening process, the take home solution may be a better fit for you.
You also have the option of undergoing the in-office procedure first and then transitioning to the take-home whitening gel to whiten your smile as needed.
