The Best Way to Whiten Teeth Fast

Some in-office whitening procedures rely on lights or lasers to “activate” the chemical whitening agent. However, Opalescence Boost in-office whitening relies solely on chemical activation. Studies have confirmed that the whitening agent is effective without any lasers.3, 4

Opalescence Boost teeth whitening gel’s innovative double-syringe mixing configuration ensures fresh teeth whitening gel for each application. Because the gel is chemically activated, no refrigeration is required prior to mixing.

After it is mixed, Opalescence Boost teeth whitening gel is conveniently applied using a Black Mini™ tip. Its thick viscosity formula prevents the gel from running, and its noticeable red color makes it easily visible to aid in precise placement and complete removal. Opalescence Boost whitening gel is also formulated with at least 20% water content, which helps prevent dehydration—maximizing patient comfort and satisfaction.

Create an At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit for Your Patients

While each Opalescence teeth whitening kit is effective as a stand-alone teeth whitening treatment, many patients benefit from using a combination of products to meet their needs. Because each Opalescence teeth whitening product works in combination with the others, it is easy to create a customized teeth whitening kit for any patient to take home. For example, Opalescence Go teeth whitening trays are a great way to follow-up an Opalescence™ Boost™ in-office whitening treatment and go perfectly with the daily use of Opalescence™ Whitening Toothpaste. A 1 oz. tube of Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste is included with each Opalescence Go whitening patient kit.

Technical Details

Formulated with High Water Content

Many whitening products on the market dehydrate teeth, resulting in uncomfortable sensitivity for patients. Opalescence Boost teeth whitening gel is made up of at least 20% water content which prevents dehydration. Opalescence gel is effective in helping reduce shade relapse as compared to competitor tooth whitening products5, 6

Contains PF

Opalescence teeth whitening gel contains PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride) for patient comfort.

No Refrigeration Required Prior To Mixing

Refrigeration is not required to store Opalescence Boost teeth whitening gel prior to mixing. If refrigerated, ensure that the chemistries are brought to room temperature before mixing them and activating the gel. After the gel is activated, any remaining product must be refrigerated.

Vegan and Certified Gluten Free

Opalescence Boost whitening gel is vegan, meaning no animal products are used. It is also certified gluten free by the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GFCO)—an independent, third-party certification program for gluten-free products. This means it fits in with the lifestyles and beliefs of patients from diverse backgrounds.

Procedures

Opalescence Boost Whitening Procedure

See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.

Step 1

Confirm that the syringes are securely attached. Depress the small clear plunger (A) into the middle small clear syringe (B) to rupture the internal membrane and combine whitening agent and activator. Press the plunger of the red syringe into the larger clear syringe.

Step 2

Press the contents of the clear syringe back into the red syringe. Thoroughly and rapidly mix the contents by pushing back and forth continually a minimum of 50 times (25 times each side).

Step 3

Press all mixed gel into RED syringe and separate the two syringes.

Step 4

Attach the Black Mini tip onto the red syringe. Verify flow on a cotton gauze or mixing pad prior to applying it intraorally. If resistance is met, replace the tip and recheck the flow.

Step 5

Place Ultradent IsoBlock bite block and self-supporting plastic cheek retractors. Completely rinse and air dry teeth and gingiva.

Step 6

Securely attach recommended tip to an OpalDam resin barrier syringe and check flow. Express a continuous bead along the gingival margin, overlapping approximately 0.5 mm onto the enamel. Begin and finish the bead one tooth beyond the most distal tooth that is being whitened. Express the resin through any open embrasures.

Step 7

Light cure the OpalDam resin barrier for 20 seconds per arch using a scanning motion. Check the resin cure with an instrument, using caution to not disrupt the seal.

Step 8

Apply a 0.5–1.0 mm thick layer of the gel to the labial surface of the tooth. Allow the gel to remain on the teeth for 20 minutes per application.

Step 9

Suction gel from teeth using the Ultradent Luer Vacuum Adapter and SST tip or a surgical suction tip. To avoid gel splatter, do not use water while suctioning gel. When no gel is visible, lightly rinse and air dry. Use caution not to dislodge the isolation barrier or rubber dam seal.

Step 10

After the final application is complete and all visible gel is removed, thoroughly rinse the teeth with an air/water spray and high volume suction.

Step 11

Gently slide the tip of a dental instrument beneath the OpalDam resin barrier and lift it off. Check for and remove any interproximal remnants.

Step 12

Evaluate the shade change. If additional whitening is desired and no sensitivity is noted, reschedule patient in 3–5 days for repeat treatment or dispense take-home whitening treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does teeth whitening work?

    Opalescence whitening gels contain a powerful whitening ingredient—either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide gels break down into water, oxygen, and reactive oxygen molecules. These reactive oxygen molecules oxidize the bonds of discolored stain molecules. By changing the stained molecules, the tooth appearance becomes lighter.7


    Reactive oxygen molecules permeate the entire tooth, so there is no need for the whitening agent to be in contact with every surface of the tooth for the entire tooth to be whitened.7

  • Will teeth whitening affect bond strength?

    We recommend abstaining from any whitening treatments for 7–10 days before a bonding procedure.8, 9, 10
  • How long do teeth whitening results last?

    Tooth whitening results can last a year or more.11, 12 Teeth whitening results are very stable, but depending on the patient’s nutrition and lifestyle habits, the procedure may need to be redone periodically. Due to the safety of the teeth whitening agents, this should not concern the dentist or patient.
  • Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

    Tooth sensitivity can occur as a result of whitening. If sensitivity occurs, it is transient and disappears after the completion of whitening treatments. If desensitizing treatments are desired, we recommend the use of UltraEZ desensitizing gel or Enamelast fluoride varnish. Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Formula can also be used to help to prevent or lessen sensitivity if it occurs.
