Teeth Whitening Explained
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the color of your natural teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Over time, enamel can become yellow or dull from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and natural aging. Professional whitening lifts these stains from the enamel, restoring a bright and radiant smile.
At Loop Dental in Minneapolis, we offer three professional whitening options so you can choose the approach that fits your schedule and goals.
Opalescence Go is a take-home system with prefilled, ready-to-use trays that conform to your smile right out of the box. No impressions or custom molds are needed. You simply wear the trays for the recommended time each day and watch your smile brighten gradually.
Opalescence Pro is our in-office whitening treatment. Using a chemically activated 40% hydrogen peroxide gel, your teeth can become noticeably whiter in about an hour without the need for lights or lasers. It is a great option when you want fast, visible results in a single visit.
Philips Zoom! Delivered gives you the best of both worlds. We take a digital scan of your teeth in the office, send it to the Philips lab, and custom-fit whitening trays along with professional Zoom! whitening gel are shipped directly to your door. You get a precise, lab-made fit and whiten comfortably at home.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Severe toothache
A sudden toothache can make it hard to eat, sleep, or focus. It’s often caused by decay, infection, or gum irritation. We find what’s causing the pain and treat it quickly to help you feel comfortable again.
Knocked-out tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, time is critical. Keeping it moist and getting to our office right away can help save it. Our team acts fast to reattach your tooth and protect your smile from long-term damage.
Broken & cracked tooth
A broken tooth can be painful and sensitive to temperature. If left untreated, it can lead to infection or further damage. We repair the tooth using strong materials that restore comfort and natural function.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown comes loose, the tooth underneath is left unprotected and sensitive. We’ll clean the area and replace your restoration to seal and strengthen the tooth, keeping your smile pain-free.
Dental abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that causes swelling and throbbing pain. It needs prompt care. We drain the infection, clean the area, and treat the cause to prevent it from spreading to other parts of your mouth.
Soft tissue injuries
Cuts or injuries to your gums, tongue, or lips can bleed and feel sore. We gently clean and treat the wound, stop the bleeding, and make sure there’s no hidden damage so you can heal comfortably and quickly.
Multiple Options for Every Lifestyle
Choose from in-office whitening for fast results, prefilled take-home trays for convenience, or custom-fit trays delivered to your door. Loop Dental has a whitening path that works for you.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem
A brighter smile helps you feel more confident in everyday interactions. Whether for work, photos, or a special occasion, professional whitening enhances how you look and feel.
Safe and Dentist-Approved Results
Every whitening option at Loop Dental uses professional-grade formulas that protect your enamel while delivering even, long-lasting results that over-the-counter products cannot match.
Preparing for Your Whitening Treatment
Before any whitening treatment, the team at Loop Dental will evaluate your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy and ready for whitening. Cavities, gum irritation, or heavy buildup should be treated first so the whitening gel can work evenly and comfortably.
A professional cleaning before your whitening appointment removes surface stains and plaque, giving the gel better contact with your enamel. We also recommend avoiding dark foods, coffee, and tobacco in the days leading up to treatment to prevent new stains from forming.
For Opalescence Go, preparation is simple. Once your teeth and gums are in good shape, we send you home with your kit and clear instructions. For Opalescence Pro in-office sessions, we handle everything chairside. For Philips Zoom! Delivered, we take a quick digital scan during your visit, and your custom trays and gel arrive at your home within about two weeks.
Aftercare for Your Whitening Treatment
After whitening, your enamel is more porous for the first 48 hours. During that window, avoid dark-colored foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tomato-based sauces. Smoking and colored mouth rinses should also be skipped. Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and use a sensitivity toothpaste if needed. Drinking plenty of water after meals helps wash away surface stains.
These aftercare steps apply whether you used Opalescence Go at home, Opalescence Pro in the office, or Philips Zoom! Delivered trays. With good oral hygiene, regular cleanings at Loop Dental, and occasional touch-up whitening, your results can last for many months.

Teeth Whitening 101
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
What is the difference between Opalescence Go, Opalescence Pro, and Philips Zoom! Delivered?
Opalescence Go uses prefilled trays you wear at home with no impressions needed. Opalescence Pro is an in-office treatment that whitens your teeth in about an hour. Philips Zoom! Delivered uses a digital scan taken in the office to create custom trays and gel that are shipped to your home.
How long do professional whitening results last?
Results can last from 6 months to 2 years depending on your habits. Regular brushing, flossing, and limiting dark drinks like coffee or red wine help your smile stay bright longer.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. All three systems used at Loop Dental are dentist-approved and formulated with ingredients that help protect enamel and reduce sensitivity during treatment.
Which whitening option is right for me?
If you want fast results in a single visit, Opalescence Pro is a great fit. If you prefer whitening at home on your own schedule, Opalescence Go or Philips Zoom! Delivered are ideal. We can help you decide during your appointment.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people experience mild sensitivity that typically fades within a day or two. Our whitening systems include ingredients designed to reduce sensitivity, and we can recommend a gentle toothpaste to keep you comfortable.

I love Loop Dental! They're always so friendly, and truly caring. I got my wisdom teeth out on my latest visit and they were so gracious in letting me take breaks and not judging me for being anxious. I also got a very nice follow up call from Doctor Bates afterwards. Thanks for providing such a positive space!

Dr. Bates is awesome and Brooke is my favorite dental hygienist ever. I’ve lived all over and had plenty of dentists— Loop Dental is hands down the best. The office is amazing and they have more tech than any other dentist I’ve been to (cleaning tools + pictures of your teeth).

Loop Dental was by far the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The entire team was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. My treatment options were clearly explained in layman’s terms. Additionally a sense of humor was present which helped to create a relaxed and comfortable environment.
I would recommend Loop Dental. The front desk staff are always helpful and kind. Brooke is friendly and more importantly gentle when she cleans my teeth. Dr. Hannon is attentive and thoughtful. On top of that, the location is great and there is parking which is a special gift in the North Loop.
