A Brighter, Whiter Smile—Made Simple
Do you dream of having a whiter, more radiant smile? Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest and most affordable ways to enhance your appearance and boost confidence. While whitening toothpastes can remove surface stains, they can’t achieve the same bright, long-lasting results as professional whitening. At City Center Dental Care, we use advanced Opalescence® whitening systems that safely and effectively lighten discoloration for a youthful, luminous smile.
We offer two trusted whitening options:
-
Take-Home Opalescence Whitening
-
In-Office Opalescence Boost Whitening by Ultradent
Both treatments use professional-grade formulas that penetrate and lift stains from deep within the enamel—no light or laser required.
Important Whitening Guidelines
-
Start with a Clean Slate
For best results, your teeth should be professionally cleaned before whitening to remove plaque and tartar. If you choose in-office Boost, schedule your cleaning at least 24 hours prior to treatment to reduce sensitivity. -
Fillings and Crowns Don’t Whiten
Whitening brightens natural enamel only. If you have crowns or fillings on front teeth, they may need to be replaced after whitening to match your new shade. -
Mild Sensitivity is Normal
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, which fades quickly. Both the Boost and Take-Home formulas include ingredients that protect enamel and reduce discomfort. -
Results Last, But Not Forever
Whitening can last for years, depending on lifestyle. To keep your smile bright, schedule regular cleanings, avoid tobacco, and limit stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and dark sauces. Occasional touch-ups with Opalescence trays help maintain your glow.

Take-Home Whitening
Our team will create thin, custom-fitted trays for your upper and lower teeth. You’ll apply the Opalescence carbamide peroxide gel at home for short sessions each day or overnight. Most patients see noticeable results within a week or less. This is our most popular option—cost-effective, convenient, and beautifully effective.
In-Office Whitening
If you prefer immediate results, Opalescence Boost delivers a dramatically whiter smile in about two hours. During your visit, your gums are protected with a barrier, and the concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel is applied up to three times for 20 minutes each. You’ll relax comfortably while we handle the process.
Because Boost treats only your visible “smile zone,” every in-office treatment includes a Take-Home Opalescence kitfor future touch-ups—so you stay in control of your brightness level.
