As the global leader in whitening with over 30 years of proven success, Opalescence 10% teeth whitening will provide your patients with the white teeth and dazzling smile they deserve.
With its easy syringe delivery, 10% carbamide peroxide concentration, and two great-tasting flavors (Mint or Regular), Opalescence 10% teeth whitening gel allows for convenient, comfortable, sustained wear day or night. This product does not contain potassium nitrate or fluoride. The whitening gel is formulated with at least 20% water content which helps prevent dehydration.

It is also certified gluten free and certified kosher, so it fits in with the lifestyles and beliefs of patients from diverse backgrounds.
The Original Sticky, Viscous Teeth Whitening Gel
The sticky, viscous teeth whitening gel does not leach from the tray and helps keep the gel and tray in place.1 This makes the whitening treatment more comfortable and effective, which results in an exceptional teeth whitening experience for your patient. No LED teeth whitening lights are necessary with Opalescence teeth whitening, as lights do not affect the whitening results,3 in fact, some research shows that using a light for whitening can be harmful to lips and gums.4 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.5
Custom Teeth Whitening Trays
Opalescence 10% teeth whitening offers patients a comfortable, professional teeth whitening experience in the comfort of their own home. The customized whitening trays are tailored to each patient’s smile, enhancing patient comfort and providing them the attention their smile deserves. Its efficient syringe delivery is easy to use with the custom trays and allows for just the right amount of whitening gel necessary for each application. Because of the 10% carbamide peroxide concentration used, Opalescence 10% whitening can be worn for sustained periods of time, day or night, so patients can whiten their teeth even while they sleep.
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 10% teeth whitening gel is a great way to follow-up an Opalescence™ Boost™ in-office whitening treatment and goes perfectly with the daily use of Opalescence™ Whitening Toothpaste.

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.5
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.5
-
Will teeth whitening affect bond strength?
We recommend abstaining from any whitening treatments for 7–10 days before a bonding procedure.6, 7, 8 -
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Tooth whitening results can last a year or more.7, 8 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.
