Brighten Your Smile at Home with Custom Whitening from Positive Image Dental
A confident smile can make a lasting impression, and at Positive Image Dental in Devonshire, Bermuda, our goal is to help you feel great about showing off yours. While we do not offer in-office whitening procedures, our team—Drs. Ian Campbell, Christopher Allington, Lara Loescher, and Faraz proudly provide a safe and convenient take-home whitening solution using Opalescence custom trays. This professional-strength system is designed to deliver powerful results right from the comfort of your own home.
What is Opalescence take-home whitening?
Opalescence is a dentist-supervised whitening system that uses a peroxide-based gel and trays custom-molded to your teeth. This at-home method offers more control and better results than store-bought options, thanks to the personalized fit and professional-grade formulation.
Is this type of whitening safe?
Yes. When used as directed, Opalescence whitening is considered very safe. The custom trays are designed to keep the gel on your teeth and away from sensitive gum tissue. The team at Positive Image Dental will ensure you understand how to use the system properly, reducing the risk of side effects like irritation or sensitivity.
How does this compare to store-bought whitening kits?
Unlike one-size-fits-all kits from the pharmacy, the Opalescence system is customized for you. The trays are created using impressions taken at our office, ensuring a snug fit and even gel coverage. This professional-grade formula works faster and more predictably than most over-the-counter options, producing brighter results in less time.
When will I see results?
Most patients begin to notice a whiter smile after just a few uses, with full results typically visible after one to two weeks of consistent application. The outcome can vary depending on the level of staining and your oral hygiene habits. Avoiding dark-colored foods and drinks—such as coffee, red wine, and berries—will help preserve your brighter smile.
Will whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Mild sensitivity is possible, especially in the first few days of use. However, this usually fades quickly. If you do experience discomfort, our team can suggest ways to reduce it, such as adjusting how long you wear the trays or using desensitizing toothpaste during treatment.
Who is a good candidate for take-home whitening?
This whitening system works best for people with healthy teeth and gums who want to lift common surface stains. However, it may not be effective for all types of discoloration, such as staining caused by medications or trauma. Before you begin whitening, we’ll evaluate your oral health to ensure it’s a good fit for you.
How often can I whiten my teeth with this system?
Most people choose to whiten once or twice yearly to maintain their results, but your ideal schedule will depend on your individual needs and habits. During your consultation, we’ll help you set realistic expectations and a treatment plan that works for you.
