Whitening

• • Stain Removers: The hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide in Opalescence™ products penetrate the enamel and dentin to break down stains and discolorations effectively.

• • Treatment Enhancers: The sticky texture of the gel, combined with potassium nitrate and fluoride, helps the product stay in place during treatment and provides additional user comfort.

• • Tooth Protectors: Fluoride reinforces the natural structure of teeth and enhances the overall dental benefits, contributing to stronger, healthier teeth.

The Opalescence™ Whitening Process

At Dental Partners of Creve Coeur, we offer a comprehensive teeth whitening process using Opalescence™ products to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Here’s what you can expect during your whitening treatment:

1. 1. Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Singh will evaluate your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and determine if Opalescence™ is the right option for you. We will also take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted whitening trays if needed.
   2. Custom Whitening Plan: Based on your consultation, Dr. Singh will create a personalized whitening plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will include the appropriate concentration of Opalescence™ gel and the recommended duration of treatment.
   3. Application: You can choose to whiten your teeth in our office or at home using custom-fitted trays. For in-office treatment, Dr. Singh will apply the Opalescence™ gel to your teeth and monitor the process to ensure optimal results. For at-home treatment, you will receive detailed instructions on how to use the custom trays and gel safely and effectively.
   4. Follow-Up: After your whitening treatment, we will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns. Dr. Singh may recommend additional treatments to achieve your desired level of whiteness.

Maintaining Your Whiter Smile

To maintain the results of your Opalescence™ teeth whitening treatment, it is important to follow good oral hygiene practices and make mindful lifestyle choices. Here are some tips to help you keep your smile bright:

• • Brush and Floss Regularly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent stains.

• • Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limit your consumption of foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries.

• • Quit Smoking: Tobacco products can cause significant staining and discoloration. Quitting smoking can help maintain your whiter smile and improve your overall oral health.

• • Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit Dental Partners of Creve Coeur regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Professional cleanings can help remove surface stains and keep your teeth looking their best.

• • Use Opalescence™ Touch-Up Kits: To maintain your results, you may use Opalescence™ touch-up kits as recommended by Dr. Singh.

Is Opalescence™ Right for You?

While Opalescence™ is an effective teeth whitening option for many patients, it may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, Dr. Singh will assess your oral health and discuss the risks and benefits of Opalescence™ to determine if it is the right choice for you. Ideal candidates for teeth whitening typically have:

• • Healthy teeth and gums

• • No existing dental restorations that may not whiten (e.g., crowns, veneers)

• • Realistic expectations about the results
