See a noticeably brighter smile with Opalescence professional whitening — available in-office in about an hour or with custom take-home trays at your own pace.
Over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes can make a difference, but they are limited by the concentration of whitening agents they are legally permitted to contain. Professional whitening treatments use prescription-strength formulas that deliver dramatically faster, more consistent results.
At 12 Oaks, we use the Opalescence whitening system — one of the most clinically proven professional whitening systems available. It not only whitens your teeth, it contains potassium nitrate and fluoride that strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity during treatment.
Before recommending whitening, we evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals honestly. Whitening works beautifully for surface stains and natural yellowing — but it cannot change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding, and it may not address intrinsic staining from certain medications or trauma. We will tell you exactly what to expect before you commit.
At 12 Oaks, whitening is often the starting point of a broader smile conversation. If your goals go beyond brightness — addressing chips, gaps, or shape — we can show you a complete picture of your options during your consultation.
We have used the Opalescence system at 12 Oaks because it consistently delivers safe, effective results backed by decades of clinical research. Unlike some whitening systems that simply bleach the surface, Opalescence is formulated to protect your enamel while it works.
Dr. Worob and Dr. Barron recommend Opalescence because it produces natural-looking whitening — not an artificial, overly bright result — and because the enamel-strengthening formula aligns with our whole-body health philosophy.
Contains potassium nitrate and fluoride to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity during treatment.
Backed by over 30 years of clinical research and used by dental professionals worldwide.
Designed to enhance your natural tooth color — not create an unnaturally bright result that looks artificial.
Available as an in-office treatment or custom take-home trays depending on your timeline and preference.
We believe in being straightforward with our patients. Professional whitening delivers excellent results for the right candidates — and we will always tell you upfront if whitening alone will not achieve what you are hoping for.
If your goals go beyond brightness, we can walk you through other cosmetic options — bonding, veneers, or a combination approach — that might be a better fit.
Book a Whitening ConsultationSurface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and food. Natural yellowing from aging. General dullness that has built up over time.
Crowns, veneers, or bonding — these do not respond to whitening and will stay their current shade. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline antibiotics or tooth trauma may need alternative treatment.
If you are planning veneers, bonding, or crowns, whiten your natural teeth first. We match any new restorations to your whitened shade for a consistent result.
Professional whitening results typically last 1 to 3 years depending on diet and habits. Take-home trays can be used periodically for maintenance touch-ups.
