A Brighter Smile Starts Here
If you’ve been searching for a faster, more convenient path to a whiter smile, teeth whitening with Opalescence Go could be exactly what you’re looking for. At Rushmore Dental, we’re proud to offer this professional-grade whitening system to patients throughout the Rapid City area and beyond. Unlike generic store-bought strips that slide around and deliver uneven results, Opalescence Go uses pre-filled, disposable trays designed to conform to your teeth for consistent, comfortable coverage every time.
What Makes Opalescence Go Different?
Most over-the-counter whitening products promise a lot and deliver a little. Opalescence Go is different because it uses the same professional-strength hydrogen peroxide formulas that dental offices have trusted for years. The trays come ready to use, no impressions or custom fittings needed, which means you can start your whitening treatment the same day you pick it up.
The unique UltraFit tray adapts to virtually any smile, holding the whitening gel in close contact with your tooth surface throughout treatment. The gel also contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, which help reduce sensitivity and strengthen enamel while you whiten. The result is a noticeably brighter smile without the discomfort many people associate with whitening treatments.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Teeth whitening with Opalescence Go works well for patients whose teeth have become discolored from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or simply the passage of time. If your teeth are generally healthy and you don’t have significant restorations on your front teeth, you’re likely a solid candidate.
That said, whitening is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Some stains, particularly those caused by certain medications or internal tooth changes, respond better to other cosmetic treatments. During a consultation at Rushmore Dental, Dr. Kelly will evaluate your smile and let you know whether Opalescence Go is the right fit or whether a different approach might serve you better.
What to Expect From Treatment
Treatment with Opalescence Go is straightforward. Patients typically wear the trays for 15 to 30 minutes per day, depending on the concentration of the formula Dr. Kelly recommends. Most people begin seeing results within a few days, with full results appearing after one to two weeks of consistent use.
Because the trays are disposable and pre-loaded, there’s nothing to clean or store. You simply open a fresh tray, wear it for the recommended time, and discard it when you’re done. It’s one of the most convenient professional whitening options available, which is a big reason it remains popular with busy patients throughout the Black Hills region.
Pair Whitening With Other Cosmetic Services
As your cosmetic dentist in Rapid City SD, Rushmore Dental offers more than whitening. Many patients choose to pair Opalescence Go with other services like dental bonding, veneers, or Lumineers for a more complete smile transformation. Whitening is a great first step, but if you’re interested in addressing chips, gaps, or uneven edges at the same time, we can build a personalized plan that covers everything.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do whitening results last?
Results vary depending on your diet and habits, but most patients enjoy noticeably whiter teeth for six months to a year. Periodic touch-ups can extend those results significantly.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some sensitivity is possible, but the potassium nitrate and fluoride in Opalescence Go are specifically formulated to minimize discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well.
Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening gel does not change the shade of dental restorations. If your front teeth include crowns or veneers, Dr. Kelly will discuss whether whitening still makes sense for your overall smile goals.
Is professional whitening really better than store-bought strips?
Professional-strength formulas are significantly more effective than anything available over the counter, and the UltraFit trays provide more even coverage than strips, which tend to miss curved or harder-to-reach surfaces.
