Boost Tooth Whitening

Serving Burke, Fairfax, and Fairfax Station in Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC metro area

Discolored teeth can make you look prematurely aged. They can damage your confidence and make you feel reluctant to smile, making it harder for you to enjoy social situations with confidence. However, teeth whitening with Opalescence Boost tooth can help you look years younger with just one short treatment. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Pamela Marzban can help you get dramatically whiter teeth in about an hour, helping you look years younger.

Dramatic Tooth Whitening with More Strength & Less Sensitivity

Opalescence Boost in an in-office teeth whitening procedure. It uses a chemically-activated whitening gel that doesn't need the ultraviolet light that is required for some other whitening systems. This is good because some studies suggest that the ultraviolet light might harm the pulp in the center of the tooth. But that is only the beginning of its advantages. Opalescence Boost also contains chemicals that help to strengthen your teeth while reducing sensitivity. Although many people in the past reported that their teeth grew sensitive after whitening treatments, this complaint is less common with Opalescence Boost. Although all tooth whitening is safe, your tooth enamel can actually get stronger after treatment with Opalescence Boost.

Quick and Discreet Tooth Whitening

The Opalescence Boost procedure takes about an hour. First, gums and lips are covered to protect them from exposure to the gel. Then the gel, which includes a strong solution of peroxide as well as potassium nitrate and fluoride to strengthen the teeth, is applied. It is allowed to work for around 15 minutes, at which point the gel, which is chemically spent from neutralizing stain particles, is removed and a new coat is re-applied. Three treatments are used, making the total treatment time less than an hour, after which your teeth will be considerably whiter.

You will notice the dramatic results of Opalescence Boost, but most likely those around you will notice your confidence, youthful appearance, and attractiveness without being able to put a finger on what has changed. People often ask if you have had a haircut, bought a new outfit, or other possible explanations for your changed appearance.

Tooth Whitening from a Dental Professional You Can Trust

Although tooth whitening is a generally safe and effective treatment for a discolored smile, working with a skilled cosmetic dentist for even a simple treatment has its advantages. First, you know that Dr. Marzban will only recommend a treatment that is likely to get you the results you desire. After listening to your cosmetic goals in detail, she will make a recommendation for your tooth whitening treatment. She will help you to understand the results you can expect and whether in-office or at-home treatments are the best option for you. She will also recommend when a different treatment--such as porcelain veneers or replacing metal fillings--might be recommended instead of or in addition to your tooth whitening.
