In-House Teeth Whitening

At Smile Lake Anna, we use UltraDent Opalescence for in-house whitening.

Opalescence is chemically activated using 40% hydrogen peroxide gel to offer a brighter smile within an hour in the dental chair. This powerful gel is chemically activated meaning no LED lights are necessary to whiten. Our team activates the formula prior to applying to ensure each dose is fresh and effective for each of our patients.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

If you’d prefer to achieve a whiter smile at home, Smile Lake Anna offers at-home treatment with our custom whitening trays.

Whitening with custom trays is a great way for our patients to receive high-quality results at home. Dr. Clark will make an impression of your teeth to create a custom tray that fits your mouth comfortably. You will then apply bleaching gel to the trays & wear as instructed. The average wear being 30 minutes a day until desired shade is reached.

Teeth Whitening Frequently Asked Questions

How does teeth whitening work?

The whitening gel contains a powerful whitening ingredient—either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide gels break down into water, oxygen, and reactive oxygen molecules. These oxygen molecules oxidize the bonds of discolored stain molecules which make the teeth appear lighter. With this whitening agent, there is no need for the agent to be in contact with every surface of the tooth for the entire tooth to be whitened.

How soon will I see results in whitening?

You will notice a whiter smile immediately. Depending on your current tooth shade & your desired shade, the estimated time for results will differ for each patient.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Tooth whitening results can last a year or more. The results are very stable, but depending on your nutrition and lifestyle habits, the procedure may need to be redone periodically.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Opalescence whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to help with sensitivity to create a comfortable experience. We treat each patient specifically to their needs & can offer different options for patients with sensitivity concerns.
