How Opalescence Works

Many of our patients have surface-level stains, including some that lie deeper in the enamel or between the cracks of the teeth. While some whitening toothpaste can remove easily reachable surface-level stains, it can’t reach the deeper stains that cause discoloration.The primary ingredients in Opalescence are carbamide and hydrogen peroxide. These substances penetrate the enamel of your teeth and actually change the color of the molecules. The newly-white oxygen molecules spread to cause the entire tooth to appear white.Over-the-counter teeth whitening products can only go so far. When you work with our Petinge Dental team, we will make personalized recommendations that enable you to get the results you desire. Dr. Petinge always takes the time to explain the process of teeth whitening, and make sure you know exactly what to expect. Professional teeth whitening with Opalescence is a great gift to give yourself- you deserve a smile that gives you confidence!
