Over time, teeth naturally pick up stains from coffee, wine, tea, and everyday life. Professional whitening is one of the simplest, most immediate ways to refresh your smile— and at Elevated Dentistry, we offer options to fit every lifestyle, timeline, and goal.
Not All Whitening Is Created Equal
Think of professional whitening like choosing how to travel. In-office treatment is flying— fastest route, strongest results, you're there before you know it. Take-home syringes with custom trays are the train— reliable, effective, and flexible on your schedule. Opalescence Go strips are driving— professional-grade and convenient, great for maintaining results at your own pace. Over-the-counter options? You might get there eventually— but the concentration is lower, the results are uneven, and you'll spend a lot more time getting a lot less brightness. Some people hitchhike and hope for the best.
Your Whitening Options at Elevated Dentistry
- In-Office Whitening The fastest, most powerful option. Professional-strength whitening gel is carefully applied chairside for maximum brightness in a single appointment— all while you relax in your private treatment suite and catch up on your favorite shows. Effective, clinician-supervised whitening with immediate results.
- Take-Home Syringes A great option for patients who already have custom trays or retainers. Professional-grade whitening gel you can use on your own schedule, with results that build gradually over time. Stronger than anything available over the counter and easier to control than you might expect.
- Opalescence Go Professional-grade whitening strips available for purchase in our office. Not as potent as in-office or syringe whitening, but a convenient and effective way to maintain your results between appointments or brighten your smile at a more gradual pace.
A Note on Sensitivity
Some sensitivity after whitening is normal and temporary. If you're prone to sensitivity, let us know before treatment— there are ways to minimize it, and we'll help you choose the option that's most comfortable for you. Have questions about whitening? Call our office at 434-218-4765 and we'll be happy to help.
Whitening and Veneers: Order Matters
If you're considering veneers or a smile makeover and thinking about whitening, do it in that order— whiten first. Veneer shades are selected based on the color of your natural teeth, so if you whiten afterward, your natural teeth will brighten but your veneers won't. Getting your teeth to your desired shade before treatment ensures everything matches seamlessly. Dr. Bottorff will walk you through the timing at your appointment.
