Teeth Whitening

About Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments available. At Smiles on Enterprise in Oak Brook, IL, Dr. Jessica Reddy offers professional-grade whitening that delivers dramatically better results than over-the-counter products — safely, quickly, and with lasting results. Whether you are preparing for a wedding, a job interview, or simply want a brighter everyday smile, professional whitening is the most effective option available. Patients searching for teeth whitening near me in Oak Brook will find Smiles on Enterprise offers both in-office and take-home options.

The Teeth Whitening Process

Smiles on Enterprise offers in-office whitening and custom take-home whitening trays. In-office treatment applies professional-strength whitening gel directly to the teeth and activates it with a specialized light, brightening teeth by several shades in a single 60 to 90-minute appointment. Take-home trays are custom-fitted from impressions of your teeth and worn with whitening gel for 30 to 60 minutes per day over 10 to 14 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much whiter will my teeth get?

A: Most patients achieve a 4 to 8 shade improvement with professional whitening. Results depend on the natural color of your teeth and the nature of the staining.

Q: Is professional whitening safe?

A: Yes. Professional whitening performed or supervised by a dentist is safe and well-tolerated. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity that resolves within a few days.

Q: How long do whitening results last?

A: Results typically last 12 to 24 months with proper care. Avoiding staining foods and beverages and using touch-up trays extends your results significantly.

Q: Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?

A: Whitening gel does not change the color of crowns or veneers. If your restorations no longer match your whitened teeth, Dr. Reddy can discuss replacement options.

I came here to establish care with a new dentist after moving back to this area. Nice location, with friendly staff. Very easy to set up an appointment and good communication. Dr. Ballesteros was very open about any concerns I had and thoroughly explained everything he was doing.

One minute you’re enjoying a Sunday with friends and the next you’re aggressively slamming your front tooth into a bottle while attempting to stop it from overflowing. Enter my newly chipped front tooth. We had just moved to the area a few months before and I hadn’t gotten around to finding a new dentist yet. I had resigned myself to looking like a bad boxer for weeks, knowing how hard it is to get a dentist appointment. I looked at ZocDoc and found this place not only had an opening for the next day but Dr. Jess had received a 5 star ratings - what wizardry is this?? I arrived expecting to wait in a dull room until they had time for me. I was welcomed with bright lights, an open and friendly waiting area, an awesome front staff, and was offered water. Not that I would have time to drink any as my appointment started right on time. Dr. Jess and her staff are amazing. She fixed my tooth in less than an hour and now you can’t even tell I do dumb things. I cannot recommend this office enough and I tell everyone to check it out!!

I been wanting to have a replacement denture for a while but my request was dismissed by dentist who I like which is understandable because I know it will be a lot of work. Well, Dr. Ballesteros who just opened this “SPA” like clinic in Oakbrook, took the challenge and masterfully gave me a new smile. He is precise, perfectionist but not controlling. Having the lab on site is also an added bonus as they can correct issues efficiently. I will be forever grateful for Dr. Ballesteros and his team for their great work! Now I can’t stop SMILING 😁

I cannot recommend this dental practice more! As someone with childhood dental trauma, I’ve gone about 15 years avoiding the dentist. About a month ago, suffering from tooth pain at 3am, made a ZocDoc appt with Smiles on Enterprise and I am so happy I found them. I was greeted by Amanda who has been an absolute angel with me. She is friendly and worked with my insurance to make sure I got the best deal possible. I ended up needing a root canal on two teeth along with all the fun that comes with it. Dr. Jim was very patient working with me and gave me a play by play of everything he was doing. I can be difficult as I’m still learning to calm down at the dentist. Brandi, who assisted Dr. Jim for my posts, prep and crowns, is also an angel. She has a great beside manner and is super careful when inside my mouth. I’m thankful she was there because she really did calm me down. The whole office is extremely clean and spotless. Thank you so much Smiles on Enterprise!

I recently moved to the suburbs and needed a new dentist. I stumbled upon Smiles on enterprise and I had a fantastic first cleaning. The office is beautiful. Very clean and modern. Everyone on staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Jess went through all of my x-rays/photos and helped put together a treatment plan. I highly recommend this dental practice!
