Opalescence Teeth Whitening

Opalescence is the worldwide leader in tray-delivered tooth whitening. With three flavor options and a fluoride & potassium nitrate formula for sensitivity, our sticky, 20% water gel prevents dehydration and stays in the tray.

How it Works

First, Dr. Weygandt or one of our hygienists will make impressions of your teeth, from which we'll fabricate a comfortable, lightweight, customized whitening tray appliance. These trays are thin and comfortable enough to be worn night or day, during conversation, working, sleeping, etc. Upon receipt of the trays and usage instructions, you'll also be provided with the proper whitening materials and a list of recommended whitening session lengths. Typically, a system including two to four 'treatment' hours per day requires three to six weeks to complete; those including nighttime wear may be completed within 10 to 14 days.

Customized Whitening Tray

Although it's not possible to predict precisely how light your teeth will be, you'll typically see a two-shade improvement as indicated on Dr. Weygandt's shade guide. And your new, brighter smile will be preserved the longest by eliminating such habits as smoking, drinking coffee, and drinking tea. After one to five years, should you notice that the new color has become less bright, you may choose to touch-up using the original whitening trays. Second treatments generally require less treatment time, as well.
