A bright, radiant smile can boost your confidence and transform the way you feel about your appearance.
Over time, teeth naturally discolor due to foods, beverages, aging, and lifestyle habits. Professional whitening offers a reliable way to remove these stains safely and effectively.
At Promenade Center For Dentistry, we proudly offer Opalescence teeth whitening, a trusted system designed to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results. Patients throughout Charlotte, NC, choose this treatment for its ability to lighten the smile comfortably and predictably under the guidance of a dental professional.
How Opalescence® Whitening Works
Opalescence uses professional-strength whitening agents that penetrate the enamel to lift discoloration from deep within the tooth. Unlike over-the-counter products, which often provide inconsistent results, Opalescence treatments are customized to your needs and overseen by a dental provider. The whitening gel breaks down stains and brightens the tooth structure while protecting the enamel throughout the process.
Key Features Of The Whitening System
- Penetrates enamel: Targets stains below the surface.
- Uses professional formulas: Provides more reliable results.
- Protects enamel: Designed with safe, controlled ingredients.
- Offers customization: Tailored to your sensitivity levels and goals.
- Delivers consistent brightness: Helps achieve even whitening across the smile.
In-Office Vs. Take-Home Options
Opalescence offers two convenient whitening formats: in-office treatment and take-home kits. In-office whitening provides rapid results through a professionally applied solution that brightens the smile in a single visit. Take-home trays allow you to whiten more gradually using custom-fitted trays filled with a low-sensitivity formula. Both options provide excellent results, and we help you choose the method that matches your lifestyle, goals, and comfort preferences.
Patients across Charlotte, NC, appreciate having flexible whitening solutions that fit their schedules without sacrificing quality.
