Take-Home Teeth Whitening with Opalescence Go™
Whether your tooth stains have been caused by tobacco, foods and beverages, fluorosis, or tetracycline, take-home teeth whitening can have a dramatic impact on your smile. We have used various systems since 1981 with good results. We have recently begun using the Opalescence Go™ Whitening System, which is the most effective way to get teeth their whitest (even the most severe tetracycline-stained teeth).
Unlike typical teeth whitening procedures:
- Opalescence Go™ is so effective; it is the only recognized system in the world that will even whiten tetracycline (dark) stained teeth, previously thought to be impossible.
- With easy, periodic at-home maintenance, your teeth will stay white permanently, even while you continue to drink red wine, tea, coffee, etc.
- During the whitening process, nearly all patients experience low to no teeth sensitivity.
This procedure is comfortable and 100% safe for your teeth and gums. The result is a radiant, white, natural-appearing smile that you will LOVE! It’s perfect for everyone, from 14 to 90!
Upgrade with Opalescence To-Go
Opalescence To-Go consists of a set of disposable, prefilled trays that contain a prescription-strength whitening gel. You can use them whenever it suits you best and literally brighten your smile while you work or binge your favorite show. You simply wear the trays for the recommended amount of time each day for about two weeks to see dramatic results. And thanks to the flexibility of treatment, you can adjust how long you use the trays to ensure your smile is the perfect shade.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Although we can’t provide you with a definitive answer here, we can say that the majority of patients who are struggling with mild to moderate dental discoloration are candidates for professional teeth whitening. So, it’s worth setting aside some time to visit our cosmetic dentists! At your consultation, they will conduct an oral exam, determine the cause of the stains, and learn all about your smile goals in order to determine if you are a candidate for this smile-enhancing treatment.
How Can I Make My Teeth Whitening Results Last?
The best way to make your results last is to take great care of your smile! That starts with a solid at-home oral hygiene regimen, which includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash. We also recommend coming to our office twice a year so we can remove plaque, tartar, and any surface stains that have developed since your last visit. Finally, make sure you are mindful of your diet. If your meals are loaded with dark-colored foods, like soy sauce, blackberries, and balsamic vinaigrette, then it won’t be long before pigmented stains resurface.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Worth the Cost?
Since cosmetic dental treatments, like teeth whitening, typically aren’t covered by dental insurance, patients are usually responsible for paying for the whole thing out-of-pocket. If that’s currently what’s stopping you from moving forward, then you might find it helpful to look at the financial solutions we offer, like CareCredit. If you have any questions during that process, just let us know – we’re here to help!
Note: Although over-the-counter options are cheaper upfront, they over-promise and under-deliver time and time again. That’s why it’s worth investing in professional teeth whitening treatments, even if they come with a higher price tag.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
No, whitening your teeth does not hurt. That said, some patients struggle with dental sensitivity, which can lead to some soreness following their appointment. If we know about this beforehand, our Brandon dental team can make the necessary adjustments – whether that’s spacing out your treatments or having you use a desensitizing toothpaste at home.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
Usually, it takes about two weeks to see the full results with take-home teeth whitening. That’s why we recommend starting the brightening process early if you have a special event coming up, like a wedding. Of course, you will start to notice improvements even sooner (some patients say they notice a difference after just one use!).
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat After Teeth Whitening?
Yes! Immediately following your teeth whitening treatment, you should avoid all dark-colored foods and beverages. A few examples include marinara sauce, coffee, and tomato soup. Instead, opt for things like bananas, plain yogurt, and oatmeal, and make water your go-to drink.
