Opalescence� is a fast, safe and effective tooth whitening system.
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.
The Opalescence formula has shown to be effective approximately 95% of the time for removing some or all of the discoloration and/or stains due to natural, congenital, systemic, pharmalogic, traumatic, etc. factors. Success is most always obtained with fluorosis and to significant degrees with tetracycline staining, depending on the patient compliance and/or duration of treatment.
