Opalescence Whitening

Several factors contribute to the color of your teeth. Genetics, personal habits (drinking coffee, smoking, chewing tobacco), medications, and age all play a role. With professional teeth whitening, Dr. Ragnell can turn back the clock on your smile, revealing a bright, youthful-looking smile that will boost your self-confidence and improve your overall appearance. We offer  many ways to whiten at our Plano dental office.

In-Office Whitening

If you’d like to lighten your teeth up to eight shades in just an hour, then consider Opalescence whitening with Dr. Ragnell. Unlike other in-office whitening systems, Opalescence does not require harsh lamps for activation, and it contains fluoride to help strengthen tooth enamel and curb any post-whitening sensitivity. Simply sit back and relax while we apply the whitening gel to your teeth and remove years’ worth of built-up stains.

Take-Home Whitening

 Opalescence also offers take-home whitening gel. First, we create customized trays from impressions of your mouth. This ensures the whitening gel covers all tooth surfaces without damaging your soft-tissues. You’ll wear the trays daily, and in about a week, your tooth color will lighten significantly. Benefits of take-home whitening include: customized, cost-effective, and very minimal (if any) post-whitening sensitivity.

Whitening Alternatives

Some stains don’t respond as well to whitening as others. Tetracycline stains, for example, can be difficult to remove. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ragnell can recommend whitening alternatives to achieve the results you desire. He may discuss porcelain veneers or cosmetic bonding with you at your cosmetic consultation.
