Professional Teeth Whitening in Buffalo Grove, IL

A brighter smile is one of the most noticeable and confidence-boosting changes you can make, and Professional Teeth Whitening is the most effective way to get there. At Buffalo Grove Orthodontics, we offer Professional-grade Teeth Whitening that delivers results you simply cannot get from store-bought strips, all from the comfort of your own home while you sleep.

Whether you are a current orthodontic patient wrapping up treatment, someone with existing Retainers ready to put them to work, or simply looking for a trusted provider to help you achieve a brighter smile, Buffalo Grove Orthodontics makes it easy. If needed, we will create custom whitening trays from a precise digital scan of your teeth, and provide you with everything you need to get started. No orthodontic treatment required, though if a straighter smile is also on your mind, we offer Free Consultations for Touch Up Treatments and Comprehensive Treatment with Invisalign and Braces, too.

Professional Results You Can't Get at the Store

We use Opalescence Professional Whitening Gel, a prescription-strength formula that lifts stains from within your teeth for a noticeably brighter smile. Unlike over-the-counter strips, Opalescence is formulated with fluoride and anti-sensitivity compounds to protect your teeth throughout the whitening process. Most patients reach their desired results within two weeks of nightly use.

The difference between Professional Teeth Whitening and store-bought products comes down to the strength of the gel and the fit of the trays. Our custom-made whitening trays are designed from a precise digital scan of your teeth, no goopy impressions, ensuring even, consistent coverage and results that store-bought trays simply cannot match.

Because teeth naturally re-stain from coffee, tea, wine, and other foods over time, your smile can be refreshed in just a few nights whenever needed. Whitening gel refills are available by texting or emailing our office.

How It Works

Our Professional Teeth Whitening process is simple and designed to easily fit into your routine.

• We begin with a quick digital scan of your teeth in our office to create custom-made whitening trays designed specifically for your smile
• About two weeks later, you will pick up your teeth whitening trays along with professional-strength Opalescence whitening gel
• Wear your trays overnight while you sleep
• Most patients see a noticeably brighter smile within two weeks of consistent nightly use
• The Opalescence formula is specifically designed to minimize discomfort
• If you experience sensitivity, simply take a night or two off and resume when comfortable

Whitening for Orthodontic Patients: Built Right In

One of the most convenient aspects of Professional Teeth Whitening at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics is that your custom-made clear Retainers and Invisalign aligners already double as whitening trays. Simply add Opalescence professional-strength whitening gel and whiten while you sleep. No separate teeth whitening trays needed.

If you have Invisalign, you can whiten as you straighten or wait until you are finishing treatment for a dramatic final result. If you have Braces, whitening is the perfect finishing touch once treatment is complete. Either way, Buffalo Grove Orthodontics has made it easy and seamless.

Whitening Is Also Available for Non-Orthodontic Patients

You do not need to be in orthodontic treatment or a current patient of our practice to whiten your smile at Buffalo Grove Orthodontics. Professional Teeth Whitening is available to anyone who wants to brighten their smile with results they can trust.

What makes our whitening trays especially valuable is that they are not generic whitening trays. They are custom-made clear Retainers, precision-fitted to your teeth from a digital scan. That means they do double duty: they whiten your smile while you sleep, and they help prevent the natural shifting that happens to everyone's teeth over time. Our teeth continue to shift throughout our lives as our faces and mouths change, and wearing a custom-fitted retainer every night is one of the simplest things anyone can do to protect their smile for the long term. Our clear, custom-made whitening trays also help protect against clenching and grinding while you sleep, which is an added benefit many people do not expect. Whether or not you have ever had orthodontic treatment, that is a meaningful benefit.

We will create your custom trays from a precise digital scan of your teeth and provide you with everything you need to get started. No goopy impressions, no orthodontic treatment required.
