Teeth Whitening in Fairfax

Teeth Whitening in Fairfax

Teeth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dentistry procedure that aims at improving your teeth’s appearance by restoring enamel to its natural color- white.

In-Office Teeth Whitening


Our in-office teeth whitening treatment uses Opalescence BOOST™ for fast, noticeable results in a single visit. The entire appointment takes approximately 90 minutes.

During the procedure, the dentist applies a protective barrier to the gums to ensure comfort and safety. A thin layer of professional strength whitening gel is then applied to the teeth and left in place for 20 minutes. This process is repeated three times during the appointment to achieve optimal whitening results.

Opalescence BOOST™ uses a chemically activated hydrogen peroxide gel that penetrates the enamel and breaks down deep stains caused by foods, drinks, smoking, and aging. As the gel works, it releases oxygen molecules that lift discoloration from within the tooth structure without damaging the enamel.

Sensitivity-Friendly

Opalescence BOOST™ is formulated with desensitizing agents that help reduce tooth sensitivity during and after treatment, making it a comfortable option for many patients.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

For continued whitening at home, we offer Opalescence® take-home whitening kits. These kits include pre-loaded disposable trays for convenient use.

The Opalescence® take-home system uses a lower-concentration whitening gel that gradually brightens teeth by penetrating enamel and lifting stains over time. This controlled approach allows for effective whitening while minimizing sensitivity.

Each take-home kit includes 10 trays, allowing you to maintain and enhance your whitening results at your convenience.

Great for Sensitive Teeth

Opalescence® whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, which help:

  • Calm nerve sensitivity
  • Strengthen enamel
  • Reduce post-whitening discomfort

This makes Opalescence® a trusted option for patients who have experienced sensitivity with other whitening systems.

Common Causes of Discoloration

Here are some of the common resons for discoloration:

  • Coffee
  • Soda
  • Wine
  • Bad oral hygiene
  • Dark berries
  • Tea
  • Tobacco (or smoking in general)

Teeth whitening attempts to correct stains and damage that have accumulated over time from consumption of specific foods and drinks.
