Opalescence Teeth Whitening in Celebration, FL
At Lumos Dental Studio, we believe a bright smile can change the way you feel every time you look in the mirror. Over the years, coffee, tea, red wine, and simply getting older can leave teeth looking a few shades darker than they used to. The good news? Professional whitening can bring that brightness back.
Dr. Radha Patel offers Opalescence teeth whitening by Ultradent, with options for every schedule. Get noticeable results in one visit with Opalescence Boost, keep your smile glowing at home with a touch-up kit, or take Opalescence Go trays with you and whiten whenever it suits you.
Why Choose Opalescence Whitening at Lumos Dental Studio?
Opalescence is a professional whitening brand from Ultradent, a dental manufacturer based in Utah. It gives our patients a complete whitening system under one name: an in-office treatment for fast results, take-home gel for maintenance, and prefilled trays for convenience.
That means your whitening plan can grow with you. Start with a single in-office visit, then keep your results going with products from the same family, all recommended by Dr. Patel based on your teeth and your goals.
And because whitening at our office starts with a dentist looking at your smile, you'll know what's realistic before you begin. If something like a cavity or gum irritation needs attention first, we'll let you know so you can whiten comfortably.

Opalescence Boost In-Office Whitening
When you want a brighter smile quickly, Opalescence Boost is our go-to. Boost is a professional-strength whitening gel (40% hydrogen peroxide) that our team applies right here in the office. It's chemically activated, so there's no whitening light involved.
Before we begin, we protect your gums so the gel stays on your teeth. Then we apply Boost in short rounds while you sit back and relax. You can see a visible difference by the end of one appointment, which makes Boost a great fit before weddings, family photos, graduations, and other big moments.
Boost also contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, ingredients included to help keep teeth comfortable during and after whitening.
Touch-Up Kits with Opalescence Refill Syringes
Everyday habits slowly bring stains back, so we make it easy to keep your results looking fresh. Our touch-up kits include Opalescence refill syringes filled with professional take-home whitening gel.
Dr. Patel will recommend the right strength and how often to use it, and our team will walk you through exactly how to use your kit at home. A few short touch-up sessions whenever your smile starts to dull can go a long way.
Opalescence Go On-the-Go Whitening Trays
Looking for something simple you can use on your own time? Opalescence Go trays come prefilled with whitening gel and are ready to wear right out of the package, with no impressions or molds needed. The flexible trays adapt to your smile as you wear them, so you can whiten while you read, catch up on emails, or relax at home.
Opalescence Go is available for purchase at our Celebration office. It's a great option for patients who want an easy way to whiten or maintain their results between visits.
Which Option Is Right for You?
What to Expect During Your Opalescence Boost Visit
- Smile check with Dr. Patel. We start by making sure your teeth and gums are healthy and ready for whitening. If it's been a while since your last visit, an AirFlow cleaning beforehand can clear away surface buildup so the gel works on clean enamel.
- Recording your starting shade. We note your current shade so you can see your progress.
- Protecting your gums. A protective barrier keeps the whitening gel where it belongs.
- Whitening. Boost is applied, left in place for a set time, then refreshed. This is repeated a few times during your visit.
- Revealing your new smile. We remove the gel and compare your new shade to where you started.
- Aftercare and next steps. Before you go, we'll share tips for the first day or two and talk through touch-up options to keep your smile bright.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
- Results you can see sooner. Professional-strength gel works faster than most over-the-counter products.
- Guidance from your dentist. Dr. Patel checks your smile first and recommends the right option and strength for you.
- Comfort in mind. Your gums are protected during in-office whitening, and Boost includes ingredients to help with sensitivity.
- Easy to maintain. Touch-up kits and Opalescence Go make it simple to keep your results looking fresh.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Professional whitening is a great choice for most adults with healthy teeth and gums, especially if your smile has yellowed from food, drinks, or age.
We generally recommend waiting on whitening if you:
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Are under 13
- Have active tooth decay
- Have untreated gum disease
It's also helpful to know that crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings don't change color with whitening. If you have restorations on your front teeth, Dr. Patel will talk with you about the best way to keep your smile looking even. Some deeper stains also respond better to other cosmetic dentistry options, and we'll walk you through those if they make more sense for you.
