Opalescence Mint Whitening Gel

Nothing freshens up your appearance like a whiter, bright smile. Opalescence is the first ADA accepted, applicator delivered, take-home bleaching gel! The patented formula has sticky, adhesive properties, which produce results in days rather than weeks! Those glorified toothpastes at the grocery store just cant give you the whitest possible smile, only your dentist can. Opalescence tooth whitening system safely bleaches your teeth to lighten discoloration caused by food, coffee, tobacco, aging and other sources. Opalescence gives you beautiful overnight results.

The whitening gel is a thick solution, which is dispensed to patients by a dentist and applied by the patient at home using a clear and inconspicuous custom fitted tray. The unique scalloped tray with reservoirs was developed to minimize tray contact and peroxide gel exposure to soft tissues. The Opalescence PF sticky formula does not leach from the tray as did former tooth whitening preparations. The delicious mint flavored gel is worn overnight, while you sleep for ultimate performance and maximum convenience. The patented formula bleaches in as little as 30 minutes in 1-3 daily treatments or for 1-6 hours daytime (if worn overnight, gel will stay active for 8-10 hours). The active ingredient in Opalescence, carbamide peroxide, has been recognized by FDA for many years as an oral antiseptic and is now used for its superior tooth whitening properties. Opalescence is available in a variety of carbamide peroxide concentrations to whiten even the most difficult stains. Opalescence PF is recommended for whitening discolored teeth prior to placement of composite, veneers, and/or crowns. Wait approximately two weeks following the bleaching procedure to assure shade has stabilized before matching restorations to bleached enamel. Porcelain and other restorative materials will not whiten. Many times patients with lighter porcelain restorations can benefit from having adjacent darker natural teeth lightened to match the lighter restorations.
