Welcome to Opalescence. Opalescence Boost is a chemically activated
in-office tooth whitening treatment. To get started, your dental professional will determine the shade of your
teeth with a shade guide. As a precaution, you'll wear protective
eyewear during the procedure. A lip and cheek retractor will be
placed in your mouth to keep your tongue and lips clear of the whitening gel. A barrier will then be placed around your gumline. This will help ensure that once placed the
whitening gel will only come in contact with your teeth and not your gums. With the barrier in place, your dental
professional will now apply the first application of Opalescence Boost to your teeth. The gel will remain on your
teeth for about 20 minutes. After the 20-minute whitening period, the Opalescence Boost whitening gel
will be suctioned off your teeth. Your dental professional will then
evaluate the shade change of your teeth. If you need additional treatments
to achieve your desired results, your dental professional will apply a
second application of Opalescence Boost. Up to 3 applications may be
applied in a single treatment. Following the final application,
the barrier is easily removed. Because Opalescence Boost begins to work
immediately after it's placed on the teeth, the total whitening procedure is fast,
typically lasting about an hour.
This includes two to three 20-minute
applications of Opalescence Boost, for a total of 40-60 minutes of whitening time..
