Professional teeth whitening
Opalescence™ Boost™
Whether you’ve recently had your braces removed, completed your Invisalign® treatment, or are happy with the positioning of your teeth but not their color, professional teeth whitening treatment could be for you! Fredericksburg Orthodontics provides professional teeth whitening near you using Opalescence™ Boost™ at our orthodontist office in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
How to whiten teeth
Whitening teeth goes beyond routine dental hygiene, and many methods are available. However, natural teeth whitening methods, DIY teeth whitening, teeth whitening kits, and teeth whitening strips may not be the most effective or safest options. For the best results, you should consult an experienced dental professional, such as the skilled team at Fredericksburg Orthodontics, for a professional, safe teeth whitening service.

What is professional teeth whitening?
Over time, teeth naturally develop stains and discoloration, regardless of your dental care routine. Fortunately, our team in Fredericksburg can help restore your smile. We use Opalescence Boost, a teeth-whitening gel applied directly in our office, ensuring a fast, safe, and effective brightening process. The gel is chemically activated, eliminating the need for uncomfortable LED teeth-whitening lights.
Achieve a brighter smile with just two or three consecutive 20-minute treatments! Opalescence delivers noticeable whitening results within about an hour, as the gel starts working upon contact with your teeth.
What to expect from Opalescence teeth whitening
Before scheduling your teeth whitening service at our Fredericksburg office, we advise you first visit your primary dentist for a thorough checkup. During this examination, your dentist will assess the health of your teeth and gums to determine if a professional whitening treatment is best for you. This routine checkup not only addresses issues like plaque and surface stains but also ensures a smoother surface, enhancing the effectiveness of your whitening treatment.
After visiting your dentist, you can then book an appointment with us. During your visit to our Fredericksburg orthodontic office, you will provide relevant medical history, including any existing health conditions or information about tooth implants. With this information, we can then begin your whitening treatment.
How much is teeth whitening?
Typically, professional teeth whitening costs around $600. Fredericksburg Orthodontics proudly provides this treatment for $500, allowing you to achieve a brighter smile at an affordable price. This fee encompasses the teeth whitening process and the aftercare supplies we’ll supply. While dental or orthodontic insurance generally does not cover this procedure, we strive to make the treatment accessible to all patients by offering a variety of flexible payment plans.
Step 1
One of our orthodontists will identify your initial tooth shade and strategically place a lip and cheek retractor to ensure your tongue and lips are kept clear from the whitening gel. Then, we will apply a protective barrier around your gumline to shield it from potential irritation caused by the gel.
Step 2
Once your gums, lips, and tongue are protected, we will use a gentle, brushed tip to apply the whitening gel to your teeth carefully. The gel will then be left on your teeth for 20 minutes before being suctioned off.
Step 3
After removing the gel, we will assess the shade change of your teeth will be conducted to determine if you need another application. Within a single treatment session, we can apply the Opalescence gel up to three times.
Step 4
Following the final application of the gel, we will remove the protective barrier and retractor, unveiling a noticeably brighter smile!
