What is professional whitening?

A brighter smile can make a noticeable difference in your confidence and first impressions. At International Dental of Joliet, we offer professional teeth whitening with the Opalescence system to lift stains, reduce discoloration, and give your smile a cleaner, more refreshed look.

Whether your teeth have darkened from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or natural aging, our whitening options in Joliet are designed to deliver more reliable, longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening so you can choose what fits your goals and schedule, and if whitening reveals other concerns, our exam and cleaning team can help.

You may be a good candidate if you have

Stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco
Natural yellowing that comes with age
Healthy teeth and gums
A big event or milestone coming up
Realistic goals for a brighter, natural look

Our whitening process

A brighter smile in three simple steps.

1
Evaluation

We check your teeth and gums to confirm whitening is safe and appropriate, accounting for any crowns, veneers, or sensitivity.

2
Choose your option

Select in-office Opalescence treatment for fast results, or a take-home kit with custom trays for whitening on your own schedule.

3
Brighten & maintain

Achieve a noticeably brighter smile, then maintain your results with whitening toothpaste, good home care, and regular cleanings.

Whitening options we offer

Four ways to get there. One brighter smile.

In-office whitening

Our in-office Opalescence treatment is ideal for patients who want fast, visible results in a single visit. In about one hour, teeth can appear noticeably brighter under clinical supervision, great for special events or busy schedules.

Take-home whitening kits

We offer take-home Opalescence kits with 10 applications, giving you flexibility to whiten on your own schedule with gradual brightening and convenient touch-ups over time.

Custom whitening trays

Trays made specifically for your teeth allow whitening gel to fit evenly and comfortably, improving consistency and reducing wasted product compared to one-size-fits-all kits.

Whitening toothpaste

A useful maintenance product that helps remove surface stains between professional sessions, keeping your smile looking cleaner and brighter for longer. Pairing it with regular cleanings also helps keep your teeth white.

Frequently asked questions

Your whitening questions, answered.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity, especially with in-office treatment. We select the right strength and approach to keep discomfort minimal.

How long does whitening take?

In-office treatment takes about one hour. Take-home kits typically show results over one to two weeks of nightly use.

How much does teeth whitening cost?

Cost depends on whether you choose in-office or take-home treatment. We’ll review pricing and payment options at your consultation.

Does insurance cover whitening?

Teeth whitening is typically a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by most dental insurance plans, though we’re happy to check your specific benefits.

Is whitening toothpaste an alternative?

Whitening toothpaste helps maintain results between professional sessions but doesn’t deliver the same level of whitening as in-office or take-home treatment on its own.

How long do whitening results last?

Results commonly last from several months to a couple of years, depending on your diet, habits, and home-care routine. Touch-up treatments help maintain brightness.

How do I care for my smile after whitening?

Avoid heavily staining foods and drinks for the first 24–48 hours, and maintain your results with whitening toothpaste and regular cleanings.

Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

Whitening agents only affect natural tooth enamel, not restorations like crowns or veneers. We’ll discuss how to keep your smile looking even if you have existing dental work.
