Is your smile looking duller than you'd like in photos from Tempe Town Lake or game day? Morning coffee, iced tea, and red wine slowly leave stains that brushing alone can't lift, and generic store-bought products aren't tailored to your smile.
At Sonoran Vista Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening for Tempe, AZ residents using the trusted Opalescence® system. Our office is just a short drive away.
Opalescence® Teeth Whitening Options for Tempe Residents
We use Ultradent's Opalescence® professional whitening system, a fast and effective way to turn dull, stained teeth into a brighter smile. Tempe patients can choose the approach that fits their lifestyle:
- In-office whitening: Professional treatment completed during one fast, comfortable visit.
- Take-home whitening kits: Custom-fitted trays and professional gel that let you whiten in the comfort of your own home.
Many patients love the take-home option because it fits around busy work, class, and family schedules. We also offer whitening gel refills, so your custom trays can keep your smile bright for years.
How Professional Whitening Gel Lifts Stains
The active ingredient in Opalescence® gel is carbamide peroxide. Once applied, it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, the primary bleaching agent that removes stains and leaves teeth whiter and more vibrant.
We create customized trays that hold the gel evenly against every tooth. This even coverage is a key advantage of professional whitening.
Opalescence® gel comes in several concentrations, and each one delivers excellent results over time. We will recommend the formula that best matches your goals and oral condition.
Are You a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is safe, and most people tolerate it well. You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have intact teeth
- Have good overall oral health
- Are not pregnant
We will evaluate your smile before treatment to confirm that teeth whitening is right for you. If it is, you can then choose between in-office and take-home whitening.
Why Tempe Patients Trust Dr. Jesse Head, DMD
Dr. Jesse Head, DMD, is an Arizona native who earned his undergraduate degree at Arizona State University, so Tempe is familiar territory for him. He completed dental school at Oregon Health and Science University before returning home to open his own private practice.
He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Arizona Dental Association, and the Central Arizona Dental Society. Every year he spends many hours in continuing education so he can offer his patients the most current treatment options.
His care is personal. His stated goal is "for you to be healthy and to have a smile that you love," and he takes the time to listen to your unique needs.
Teeth Whitening Cost, Payment Options, and Insurance
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the option you choose, the gel concentration recommended, and whether you want refills for future touch-ups. We'll review your personalized treatment plan and costs before you begin.
Because teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment, many dental insurance plans don't cover it. Our team is happy to review your benefits and explain the payment options available at Sonoran Vista Dentistry.
