says Dr. Jaimee’ Morgan, of Salt Lake City, Utah. “We began to offer complimentary whitening for our patients.....not just new patients, but all our patients.  Our existing patients loved the perk and were quick to spread the word about our new offer.” 

Since then, Dr. Morgan’s reputation of creating beautiful, white smiles for her patients has only served to expand her reach. She even gets Miss Utah America and Miss Utah USA contestants and winners ready for their state and national pageants by whitening and perfecting their smiles before they go in front of the judges.

She points to Opalescence Go as one of her favorite additions to the Opalescence Whitening Systems line—using it for new whitening patients as well as patients who have already gotten the in-office whitening treatment, Opalescence® BOOST to use as a touch-up. 

 

 

Dr. Morgan even uses Opalescence on her orthodontic patients. 

 

“Many of my orthodontic patients use it during ortho treatment, allowing them to start the whitening process before they have their braces removed. Opalescence Go easily molds around their ortho brackets and as an added bonus, keeps porcelain brackets looking good and stain-free.”

As for her patients who have been turned off to whitening because of sensitivity or pain, Dr. Morgan points to Opalescence PF 10%, as the key to getting them back on track. “



She continues, “The ROI of offering complimentary smile whitening for our patients. I figured it costs about $36.00 per patient to provide custom trays and up to 12 syringes of Opalescence.  That $36 includes the alginate, stone, tray material, Opalescence, and tray case.  When you realize that every new patient can provide an average of $800 to $1200 of production, you quickly see the advantage of and the effectiveness of providing smile whitening for your patients. Other advantages include fewer composite resin shades needed in the office and easier shade selection for porcelain restorations as well.



Every time the patient comes in for recare we ask them if they need any additional Opalescence.  If they say yes, we give them 2 syringes of Opalescence.  If they want more, they pay a fee to cover the cost of the additional whitening material.  So when other clinicians ask me how important Opalescence whitening is to my practice, I can say that it rates as a #1 practice builder in my eyes.

 

“By coupling Opalescence Go with UltraEZ®, Opalescence’s desensitizing gel with Potassium Nitrate, thanks to Opalescence PF’s sustained release, they can get better and faster whitening results than they could using the high concentration systems available over-the-counter, and they get excited about whitening all over again.”





Dr. Morgan loves to share her enthusiasm about Opalescence Whitening Systems with other doctors, lecturing all over the country about using tooth whitening as a tool for success in dentistry.
