Teeth Whitening in Rutland, MA

If you want whiter, brighter teeth, you may have considered over-the-counter teeth whiteners; with so many of these products on the market, it’s difficult to know if they are safe or effective. It may be tempting to choose one of these products because they are affordable and convenient, but the truth is that many of these teeth-whitening systems can be unreliable and may damage your teeth and gums. Since your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, don’t you want to trust your teeth to the dental professionals at Carewell Dental? Our professional teeth-whitening services can give you the smile you’ve always wanted.

Teeth Whitening Options in Rutland

At Carewell Dental, we provide two different professional teeth whitening options for our patients. If you prefer an in-office whitening experience, we offer Zoom whitening. However, if you choose to whiten your teeth at home, we can provide you with an Opalescence Go whitening kit. Either way, you will be supervised by a dental team member and receive a customized teeth whitening experience.

Our Zoom chairside whitening is a safe and effective way to dramatically change the color of your teeth. You'll enjoy a more beautiful smile if you can commit to a two-hour appointment. The steps for the Zoom whitening procedure are as follows:

1. First, we make an impression of your teeth to create custom whitening trays for later touch-ups.

2. Then, we note the shade of your teeth before the teeth whitening procedure.

3. Next, we ensure your comfort before preparing your mouth for the teeth whitening procedure. Making sure that only your teeth are exposed by placing barrier gel, we apply Zoom whitening gel and a Zoom light to lighten stains and discoloration on your teeth.

4. Once we have finished the whitening process, we will compare your new tooth shade to what it was before the procedure. Most patients achieve six to eight times whiter teeth.

5. That’s it! We recommend avoiding staining foods, drinks, and tobacco for 24 hours after your whitening treatment and maintaining good oral hygiene to keep your teeth as white as possible.

The other professional teeth whitening option we offer at Carewell Dental is Opalescence Go. Even though this whitening treatment is completed in your home, you can receive detailed instructions from our dental team about how to use it, and we’re just a phone call away if you have any questions.

To achieve whiter teeth with Opalescence Go, we will provide you with custom trays and Opalescence tubes of whitening agents, and you will wear your trays for a designated amount of time. Depending on the level of whiteness you are trying to achieve, you will wear your Opalescence Go trays for anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes for five to ten days in a row. You and your dentist can discuss the current shade of your teeth and your desired shade before deciding on the best treatment plan for you.

Because the Opalescence Go trays fit snugly on your teeth, you won’t have to worry about the whitening agent missing part of your teeth or overflowing onto your gums, causing sensitivity issues. The whitening agent in Opalescence Go is more potent than the over-the-counter whiteners and will give you the best results possible.

It’s important to avoid staining foods and drinks, as well as tobacco, to help keep your teeth as white as possible for as long as possible, but you can always refresh your smile by reapplying Opalescence Go when necessary.
