How does it work?
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth that will allow
for custom trays to be made for your bleaching procedure. The Opalescence gel
is placed in thin, comfortable trays and fitted over your teeth. As you
whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the
enamel and dentin. This bleaches out the discolored areas. The structure of
the tooth is not changed. The colour of the tooth is simply made lighter.
Is It Safe?
Whitening your teeth, under the supervision of your dentist, has
been proven safe in clinical studies over a period of many years. The primary
ingredient in Opalescence is carbamide peroxide, which has been safely used
to brighten the smiles of millions of people worldwide.
When will I see results?
Results are often seen after one night. Optimum natural whiteness
usually occurs when the process is continued for a week to 10 days. Your
dentist will go over what you can expect for your individual situation.
How do I keep my smile white?
After you have the white smile you’ve long desired, it’s
important to keep it that way. Practice good oral hygiene and always remember
to brush after consuming staining food or beverages. Opalescence Whitening
toothpaste is a wonderful product for maintaining your bright smile. It not
only whitens, it offers a higher fluoride uptake than any other toothpaste.
It is available through your dentist.
