Choosing The Best Teeth Whitening Services
At Higginbotham Family Dental, our team will help find the best whitening method for you. Our whole range of whitening services can be accessed at any HFD office. You can read about each whitening treatment below.
Boost In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatment
Opalescence Boost creates a beautiful, long-lasting smile after just one quick, 1-hour visit to the dentist. During the treatment, your hygienist places a protective barrier over your gums and applies a thin layer of whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. Each visit typically includes two to three 20-minute whitening sessions. Boost doesn’t rely on lights or lasers to activate the gel—instead, it uses a powerful chemical formula to deliver results. In about an hour, you can leave the office with a noticeably whiter, brighter smile.
Zoom! In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatment
Why do our patients love Zoom! Whitening? Because it can whiten teeth by up to 8 shades—almost instantly! This is our fastest whitening service, combining a powerful hydrogen peroxide gel with a UV light that activates the whitening process. Your dental professional performs the treatment over four sessions, with a total chair-time of about 1.5 to 2 hours. If you’re looking for quick, dramatic results, Zoom! Whitening delivers a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit.
Opalescence Go
Want a powerful and effective whitening system without visiting the dentist? Fortunately, Opalescence Go offers prefilled, disposable trays that contain a professional-strength whitening gel. To get started, simply insert the comfortable trays into your mouth and wear them for 15 to 60 minutes each day, for five to ten days. As a result, this easy-to-use treatment delivers dramatic, long-lasting results. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or just want a brighter smile, Opalescence Go makes at-home whitening both simple and effective.
At-Home Whitening Trays
Want to gradually whiten your smile after your appointment? If so, consider our at-home teeth whitening treatment trays! At your next cleaning visit, let your dental hygienist know you’re interested in take-home trays. From there, your hygienist will explain how the process works. If you decide to move forward, they will take impressions and create a custom mold of your teeth to design trays that fit perfectly. Once ready, we’ll provide you with both the trays and the whitening gel, so you can begin whitening at home on your own schedule. Even better, when you keep your 6-month cleaning appointments, you’ll receive the trays and gel completely FREE. To learn more, contact your nearest office and ask about our at-home teeth whitening options.
How Much Does it Cost?
Teeth whitening treatments are cosmetic procedures, so most dental insurance providers do not cover the costs.
Our in-office teeth whitening treatments, including Zoom!, start at $99+. To find out the cost of services near you, give our office a call. And, like we stated above, our take-home whitening trays are free!
