What Is Opalescence Whitening?
Opalescence is a professional teeth whitening system used by dental professionals worldwide. It comes in two forms: Opalescence Boost, a chemically activated gel applied in our office, and Opalescence Take-Home, which you use with custom-fit trays. Neither form needs a light or heat, which sets it apart from light-activated systems. Its professional-grade formulas contain fluoride and potassium nitrate for enamel protection, and they come in multiple strengths and flavors, including options for sensitive teeth. Every treatment is supervised by a dentist, so you get dependable results on a plan that fits your schedule.
