Are you looking for solutions to whiten your teeth?

Whether you're preparing for a special event or just want to refresh your appearance, our Opalescence whitening system provides both in-office and at-home options for your convenience.
What Are the Causes of Teeth Staining and Discoloration?
Tooth staining can be classified as extrinsic or intrinsic. Extrinsic staining occurs on the enamel, which is the hard outer layer of the tooth. This type of staining can result from different factors, including poor oral hygiene practices, years of consuming dark foods and beverages like coffee, red wine, and berries, smoking, and using tobacco products. Tooth whitening is most effective for extrinsic staining.
Intrinsic staining involves the inner layer of the tooth called the dentin. This can occur from age, trauma, or as a side effect of certain medications. Whitening is typically not as effective for intrinsic staining. More predictable alternatives to address intrinsic staining may include esthetic bonding, crowns, or veneers. We will determine the type of teeth staining you have and recommend the best options to get you a brighter, whiter smile.
Introducing Opalescence Teeth Whitening
Opalescence offers safe and highly effective in-office and at-home whitening solutions that are customized to your unique needs. The following is a look at the innovative system and what it can do for you:
Opalescence Boost In-Office Whitening: Opalescence Boost in-office whitening offers a safe and highly effective solution to brighten your smile. It features a powerful whitening gel that's chemically activated, allowing it to remove the most stubborn stains without using hot or uncomfortable lights.
Opalescence Boost's bleaching gel is formulated with potassium nitrate and fluoride (PF), designed to minimize sensitivity and strengthen your enamel as it lifts off stubborn stains. In just two to three 20-minute sessions, you'll achieve a noticeably brighter, whiter smile.
Opalescence Go At-Home Whitening Trays: If you prefer to brighten your smile from the comfort of your home, Opalescence Go may be the perfect solution. UltraFit trays easily conform to the shape of your teeth, offering a convenient and effective teeth whitening option right out of the box. The innovative whitening solution is a great option for first-time whitening and is also ideal for maintaining your bright smile after office treatments.
Is Opalescence Teeth Whitening Right for You?
While Opalescence in-office and at-home whitening treatments are ideal for most patients, not all stains respond the same. Whitening works best for extrinsic staining. Moreover, it cannot remove stains from dental restorations like fillings, crowns, or bridges. If you are not a candidate for teeth whitening, Dr. Park may recommend an alternative solution to brighten your smile, such as porcelain crowns, veneers, or esthetic bonding.
