Teeth Whitening

There are plenty of products on the market that claim to brighten your smile, but when it comes to teeth whitening in Salt Lake City, professional treatment offers more predictable, dentist-supervised results. Dr. Michael T. Smith and our team at Holladay Smiles offer Opalescence™ Boost™ teeth whitening treatments.

Opalescence Boost is an in-office whitening system that uses a professional-strength whitening gel applied directly to your teeth under Dr. Smith's supervision. Because it is administered in our office, the treatment can be monitored closely to help protect your gums and manage sensitivity throughout the process. Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for whitening, though it works best on teeth affected by surface staining from food, drinks, or tobacco rather than internal discoloration. Whitening will not change the color of existing restorations like crowns or veneers.

Here are some key benefits of professional teeth whitening:

• Dentist-supervised: Treatment is monitored in-office rather than left to guesswork with an over-the-counter kit.
• Professional-strength results: In-office whitening gel is stronger than what is available in stores.
• Efficient: Results are achieved in an office visit rather than weeks of at-home trays.
• Comfort managed: Our team can help address sensitivity during and after treatment.

During your visit, Dr. Smith or our team will protect your gums before applying the Opalescence Boost whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is left on for a set period and may be reapplied depending on your desired level of whitening, and your results are visible right after your appointment. How long your results last depends largely on your daily habits; limiting foods and drinks known to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can help your results last longer.
