Professional Teeth Whitening
Over time, coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and everyday life can leave teeth looking dull or stained. Professional teeth whitening at the Alexandria Smile Center can safely brighten your smile and help you feel more confident about the way you look.
Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, professional treatment is customized to your smile for more even, noticeable results in less time. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your goals, sensitivity, and desired results. Professional whitening generally produces faster, more noticeable results than over-the-counter products.
Why Do Teeth Become Discolored?
There are many reasons why teeth can become yellowed, stained, or discolored. Factors that can contribute to a dulled smile include:
- Foods like berries and tomato sauces
- Dark, acidic drinks like soda, coffee, and red wine
- Thin enamel over your teeth
- Smoking and oral tobacco use
- Disease and particular medical treatments
- Natural discoloration of teeth that occurs with age
Limiting these factors can help prevent discoloration of your teeth. However, it’s natural for your teeth to lose their brilliant white shine over time. That’s why Dr. Moylan offers professional teeth whitening to brighten your smile for a stunning, youthful new look.
Your Professional Whitening Options
Opalescence teeth whitening is a powerful cosmetic treatment used to remove years of stubborn stains and discoloration. There are two options for whitening. Opalescence Go is a professional grade whiting strip system that uses trays to conveniently whiten your teeth in as little as 15 minutes a day. For more dramatic results, our Opalescence Take Home system with custom trays delivers exceptional results and drastically whitens teeth.
We’ll evaluate your teeth and discuss whether professional whitening is the right option, especially if you have sensitivity, restorations, or discoloration concerns. Professional whitening works best on natural teeth and may affect people differently depending on staining and existing dental work.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over-the-counter whitening strips are a popular and inexpensive cosmetic solution, but they can seldom match the benefits of professional whitening even with repeated applications. Opalescence products offer unmatched results compared to whitening strips. While store-bought options can take weeks or months to achieve desired results, Opalescence can brighten your smile in as little as two days and is gentle on sensitive teeth.
