Schedule ConsultationThe Opalescence Custom Teeth Whitening Process
Lake Five Dentistry offers custom teeth whitening to provide patients with consistent, bright white smiles. Don’t have time for custom whitening? Ask us about our one-size trays!
Initial Consultation
We begin by evaluating your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is a safe and effective option for you. This visit also helps us understand your goals and determine the ideal shade improvement.
Digital Dental Impressions
Instead of messy putty molds, we take precise digital dental impressions. This technology allows us to design whitening trays that fit comfortably and securely around your teeth.
Custom Tray Fabrication
Your digital scans are used to create custom whitening trays tailored specifically to your smile. A precise fit ensures even whitening and minimizes gel contact with your gums.
Whitening Kit Pickup
You’ll wear your trays for the recommended amount of time each day, typically over the course of one to two weeks. The professional-strength gel gradually lifts stains and brightens your teeth safely.
Progress Check and Final Results
We’ll check in with you to monitor your progress and ensure you’re happy with your results. Your custom trays can also be saved for future touch-ups whenever you want to refresh your smile!
How is Opalescence teeth whitening different from store-bought whitening kits?
Opalescence whitening from a dental office is dentist-guided and customized to you. At Lake Five Dentistry in Colgate, WI, we provide custom-fit trays and clear instructions so whitening gel stays where it should, results are more consistent, and sensitivity is easier to manage compared to one-size, over-the-counter options.
How long does Opalescence whitening take to see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few uses, with best results building over one to two weeks depending on starting shade and staining. We will recommend a schedule that fits your goals and helps you whiten comfortably. Patients visiting us from Sussex, Germantown, and Menomonee Falls often like that it works on their schedule at home.
Is Opalescence teeth whitening safe if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes, in most cases. Sensitivity is common with any whitening, but a customized approach helps. We can adjust wear time and strength, and we will give you practical tips to reduce sensitivity. If you have cavities, gum inflammation, or exposed root surfaces, we may recommend addressing those first so whitening stays comfortable.
