Tooth whitening remains one of the most frequently requested cosmetic treatments in dentistry, with interest extending well beyond traditionally esthetic-driven patients. And today’s take-home options make it easier than ever to offer consistent results without clinical complexity.

 

Ultradent’s Opalescence family includes whitening options designed for simplicity and reliability. Solutions such as Opalescence Go and the new Opalescence Home Advanced remove traditional barriers to take-home whitening, giving dentists confidence in outcomes and patients an easy path to noticeable results.

 

Professional Whitening Within Reach

 

Opalescence Home Advanced incorporates an innovative UltraFit tray that conforms to any smile, ensuring a comfortable fit and molar-to-molar coverage right out of the box—no impressions, models, or lab time required. The whitening gel, which comes in a mint flavor and features potassium nitrate and fluoride to minimize sensitivity and maximize comfort, is distributed evenly throughout the tray so it is delivered exactly where it’s needed.

 

By wearing the prefilled trays with 10% hydrogen peroxide gel for 30 to 60 minutes daily, or the 15% concentration for 15 to 20 minutes, patients can whiten their teeth up to 5 shades in just 5 to 10 days.

 

One Step, Consistent Results

 

John Horn, DMD, who practices in Hegins, PA, has found Opalescence trays to be superior to other take-home whitening products, even outperforming custom tray systems. “The whitening gel is less messy, easier to apply, and doesn’t ooze out onto the soft tissues,” he explained, adding that patients also experience less sensitivity. While he considers both Opalescence Go and Opalescence Home Advanced “great products,” the latter stands out for its exceptional convenience. By eliminating the separate placement tray, Opalescence Home Advanced enables true 1-step treatment.

 

“The simple UltraFit tray system enhances the patient experience by being cost-effective, easy to use, and less messy than other home treatment options," he said. "My patients are satisfied. I haven't had any negative feedback regarding outcomes.”

 

Smiles & Satisfaction

 

Kristi Evansen, RDH, regularly recommends Opalescence products in her Kaukauna, WI, office, where take-home whitening has been a patient pleaser. “Patients like the advantage of having a set of 10 upper and lower trays that gives them the brighter smile they are looking for,” she said.

 

Opalescence take-home trays have worked beautifully both as a follow-up to in-office whitening and as a standalone alternative to over-the-counter products. Evansen said they offer patients “an affordable investment in their smiles”—one that ensures reliable results.
