Laser teeth whitening : Opalescence teeth whitening
The Opalescence ® Xtra ® Boost ™ teeth whitening system is from the recognized and known company Ultradent. You will find over the counter products by Opalescence but do not confuse with the one found at a dental professional. The product found at your dentist has higher levels of whitening agents and are not sold directly at costumers. Professional products are to be applied by professionals only.
Opalescence ® is one of the professional teeth whitening systems where the manufacturer says that the use of a laser and light during the whitening process is nonobligatory. The Opalescence ® Xtra ® Boost ™ teeth whitening system uses a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel. This whitening gel comes prepackaged as two individual components that are blended just before applying. This whitening gel has a 38% hydrogen peroxide concentration. The use of a whitening laser is optional, but if your dentist chooses to use one, Ultradent, Inc. states that the usage of a standard “curing” light to be suitable.
The only possibility for creating a heat on the teeth being handled is if the Opalescence ® Xtra ® Boost ™ whitener is employed with a curing light. Curing lights are configured to light up just one or two teeth at once. This signifies that during the treatment the dental practitioner will need to move the light around from one tooth to another. Ultradent, Inc. recommends 30 seconds of light exposure on a tooth at once, with will add up to 2 minutes per tooth for the total bleaching session. When observing these instructions, it seems improbable that any heating effect could happen at all.
Like any other teeth whitening laser treatment, professional Opalescence ® teeth whitening treatments normally takes a little over an hour. The bleaching session is divided into three single applications, each during 15 minutes. In total, with pre treatment preparations, the total treatment time would goes up to 60 minutes.
Employing at-home teeth whitening treatments after the professional teeth whitening procedure is optional. Ultradent, Inc. leaves the decision up to the dentist performing the treatment. Without any doubt, if one is suggested, it will be one of the Opalescence ®at home treatments, such as Opalescence ™ Tooth Whitening Gel or Opalescense Treswhite ™ Supreme.
The Opalescence ® teeth whitening is recognized for being a high quality product. The results a patient will get when using the Opalescence ® teeth whitening system should be as good as with any other professional teeth whitening system
