Why People Love Almeda Dental
Your Solution for a Sparkling Smile
At Almeda Dental, we offer smile whitening with Opalescence. The Opalescence teeth whitening system is a cutting-edge solution that effectively combats tooth discoloration.
Whether your teeth have been stained by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or aging, Opalescence can restore their natural whiteness.
How Does Opalescence Work?
Opalescence uses a unique formula containing potassium nitrate and fluoride, which not only whitens teeth but also strengthens enamel and decreases sensitivity.
The treatment involves applying a professional-strength whitening gel to the teeth, which penetrates the enamel to break down discolored molecules, leaving your teeth brighter and whiter.

Opalescence offers several advantages over other teeth whitening methods:
- Effective and Long-Lasting Results: Opalescence can significantly whiten your teeth, with results that are long-lasting with proper care.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at removing stains and discoloration from teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. It involves applying a whitening agent to the teeth, which breaks down stains and lightens the enamel.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening works by applying a bleaching agent, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to the teeth. This agent penetrates the enamel and breaks down stain-causing molecules, resulting in whiter teeth.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified dentist like those at Almeda Dental, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. We ensure that the health of your teeth and gums is protected throughout the treatment.
How long do the results of teeth whitening last?
The duration of teeth whitening results can vary based on individual lifestyle choices. Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages, and maintaining good oral hygiene, can prolong the effects. Typically, the results can last from several months to a few years.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of teeth stains?
Teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains (those on the surface of the teeth) caused by food, drink, and tobacco. It is less effective on intrinsic stains (within the tooth structure) or stains caused by medication or injury.
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Most adults can benefit from teeth whitening, but it may not be suitable for everyone. It's not recommended for children under 16, pregnant or lactating women, or people with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, or highly sensitive teeth.
How can I maintain my whitening results?
To maintain your teeth whitening results, avoid stain-causing foods and drinks, brush and floss regularly, and follow up with regular dental checkups and cleanings at Almeda Dental.
Does insurance cover teeth whitening?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. However, we offer affordable options and will discuss all costs and payment plans with you.
