Your teeth are the first thing most people notice when you meet someone. Having a welcoming and bright smile can bring out your personality and let you shine! One way to make your smile stand out and be beautiful is through teeth whitening. The Opalescence Tooth Whitening System, now offered by your Chapel Hill dentist, is a way you can whiten your smile safely and effectively no matter how you choose to do it.

There are several ways your teeth become yellow over time. You may be an avid coffee or tea drinker, drinking these daily will slowly leave its mark on your teeth. Smoking will also affect your teeth and cause stains. Many people may not realize that by using certain medication, your teeth can become dull and yellow. Luckily no matter the reason for your less than stellar smile, tooth whitening solutions will save the day and allow you to smile with confidence and pride.

Opalescence whitening is a tooth whitening system that allows you to choose the best way for you to whiten your teeth. There are several methods to choose from.

    Take Home Opalescence: You dentist will create a custom whitening tray that you will take home with you. You will also be given the whitening gel that you will use with the trays in the comfort of your home. With this method, you can whiten when you want on your own schedule. This is ideal for those who want the most customized whitening experience.

    Prefilled Disposable Opalescence: Prefilled disposable trays, is another at home method for you to use. The prefilled trays are easy to use on your own. You can use the trays once a day for 30-60 minutes. This method allows for easy clean up and less mess. After you’re done with the tray, you can just toss it in the trash.

    In Office Opalescence: While it is recommended that you slowly whiten your teeth for the best results, there are times when you may want your teeth to be whitened faster. Maybe you have a wedding or vacation that you need to go to and want you smile to look it’s best. In office whitening is a 1-2 hour procedure administered by your dentist. They will help you get the results you want. At the end, your dentist will also send you home with some trays to maintain your results at home.

Opalescence works for everyone, no matter which system you choose or how heavily stained your teeth are. The different systems also work with every type of budget, and will allow you to whiten your teeth while keeping your wallet happy. Teaming up with your dentist to brighten your smile will get you the best results.  To get the best results possible, it’s recommended by dentists to whiten your teeth slowly and gradually. This will allow you to achieve better results over time for a whiter smile that will last.  Your dentist will work with you on finding the right system and will ensure that you’re using the system properly to get the best results.

Confidence is important for everyone, and having a stained, yellowed smile can cause your confidence to be low and your smile to be hidden. With whiter and brighter teeth, you’ll gain that confidence back and show your smile off to those around you. You won’t have to hide your smile any longer!  Contact Kennedy Dental Group, your Chapel Hill dentist today to learn more about teeth whitening options available to you.
