Teeth Whitening
One of our main goals at Skopek Orthodontics is to help each of our patients feel confident in their smiles. In addition to our orthodontic treatments, our teeth whitening services help patients fall even more in love with their new smiles.
Our experts at Skopek Orthodontics offer teeth whitening treatments that are safe and highly effective. For your ultimate convenience, you can complete a teeth whitening treatment in our office, or we can send you home with one of our teeth whitening kits! We will start your teeth whitening journey with an initial consultation, so we can take a look into your desired outcome and find the best method for whitening your teeth. Our team will also check for any dental issues that may need to be addressed before the whitening process begins, and we also suggest dental cleaning before treatment. Having our teeth whitening service is one simple way to boost our patients’ confidence, giving them one more reason to smile!
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our teeth whitening process begins with an initial consultation, where we can assess your teeth and determine your desired outcome after treatment. One of our skilled professionals will apply a high-concentration bleaching gel to your teeth, protecting your lips and gums with a special barrier during the process. After about 15 to 30 minutes, we will remove the gel and determine if repeat sessions are necessary. Then you are free to enjoy your bright and shiny new smile!

Teeth Whitening FAQ
How does Opalescence™ teeth whitening work?
Opalescence whitening gels contain a powerful whitening ingredient—either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide gels break down into water, oxygen, and reactive oxygen molecules. These reactive oxygen molecules oxidize the bonds of discolored stain molecules. By changing the stained molecules, the tooth appearance becomes lighter.
Why should I whiten my teeth?
People whiten their teeth for many reasons. You can bring back some of that youthful appearance with a whiter, brighter smile. Do you have a wedding or important day coming up? A whiter smile can help brighten up special occasions. Some people whiten their teeth before a job interview to get that extra boost of confidence that comes with making a great first impression.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The cost of teeth whitening can vary greatly depending on what you use and where you get it. While over-the-counter teeth whiteners are the least expensive, they may not be the most effective because they are not tailored to your specific needs and they may increase the risk of having sensitive teeth.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Teeth whitening results are generally long-lasting, but factors like genetics, diet, age, medications (e.g., tetracycline), and habits (e.g., smoking) can diminish their effectiveness. Fortunately, touch-up treatments are quick and easy to restore your bright smile.
