Teeth Whitening

At Clayton Smiles, we believe your smile should reflect the light within you. But over time, life can leave its mark, whether from coffee, wine, aging, or certain medications. That’s why we offer Opalescence™ Boost, a powerful in-office whitening treatment that transforms dull or stained teeth into a radiant, confident smile in just one visit.

We believe it’s about more than just whitening. It’s about rediscovering joy when you catch your reflection and finally feeling like yourself. With the expert care of our team and the science behind Opalescence Boost, we make it easy, safe, and incredibly rewarding to fall in love with your smile all over again.

How Does Opalescence Boost Work?

Opalescence Boost is a professional whitening system that effectively removes stains and discoloration. Its powerful gel breaks down into oxygen molecules and penetrates your tooth enamel and dentin.

Here’s how it works:

It uses a 40 percent peroxide gel to whiten your teeth in two to three 20-minute applications.
It is chemically activated, so it doesn’t require light or heat to work.
Its distinct red color ensures proper placement during application.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening from Clayton Smiles?

We understand you have numerous teeth whitening options to choose from, but if you choose Opalescence Boost, here’s how your smile will benefit:

Fast and Effective

Opalescence Boost delivers rapid results, with noticeable whitening effects visible within about one hour.

No Lights Needed

Some whitening systems require lights to whiten your teeth; Opalescence Boost is chemically activated.

Lasting Results

You can achieve long-lasting results with Opalescence Boost. Many patients say the effects last for months.

Safe and Gentle

The Opalescence Boost formula is designed to be gentle on your teeth and gums, minimizing the risk of irritation.

Types of Teeth Whitening in Clayton, NC

Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays

With take-home whitening, you have the convenience of whitening at home when your schedule allows. We take impressions of your teeth that we use to fabricate custom bleaching trays that fit your teeth perfectly. This means the whitening gel contacts all tooth surfaces evenly and won’t leak under the tray and cause gum irritation.

In-Office Power Whitening

Fast in-office teeth whitening: If you don’t want to wait weeks to see a brighter smile, or you have an event like a wedding coming up, results, in-office teeth whitening is another excellent option. With in-office whitening, most patients see noticeable results after just one visit.

The Problem with OTC Whitening Kits

You’ve seen all the teeth whitening options at your local grocery store, and you may wonder if they’re safe to use and how effective they are. There are two main drawbacks with OTC teeth whitening kits: they are not customized for your smile, and the whitening gel produces minimal results.

Schedule a Teeth Whitening Appointment

We recommend that you leave whitening your teeth to a professional who knows your smile and can ensure that it’s a safe, comfortable, and successful process. If you are ready to see a brighter smile but aren’t sure which option’s right for you, please call Clayton Smiles for more information.

The In-Office Teeth Whitening Process

A Woman getting Ready for Whiter Teeth in Clayton, NC? Professional teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic option, offering a fast and affordable way to brighten your smile for an upcoming special event or to enhance your appearance. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options for your convenience.

When you visit us for an in-office whitening treatment, here's what you can expect:

Shade selection — First, we will use a shade guide to determine your current tooth color and discuss your ideal shade.
Protective barrier — Next, we will apply a protective barrier to your gums. This will keep the whitening gel from coming into contact with your soft tissues.
Gel application — We’ll carefully apply the Opalescence Boost gel to your teeth. The red color makes it easy to see.
Processing time — After 20 minutes, we’ll assess the results. If necessary, we can repeat the process up to two more times.
Rinsing — All that’s left is to remove the protective barrier and rinse your teeth.
