Still this whitening procedure is widely used because of its dramatically effective results. Many dentists who refused to use any laser whitening system opt for Opalescence - and patients are generally not disappointed.
Opalescence is similar
to other laser whitening procedures, except that the laser is optional! The Opalescence Xtra Boost system consists of packages of a hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching gel that is mixed just prior to application on the patient's teeth. Whether or not to use the curing light to intensify the process is at the judgment of your dentist - as Opalescence is only offered in private practices as a whitening system.
A curing light
is a standard apparatus in every dentist office, so the use of the curing light to speed up the Opalescence procedure would have to be manually done by your dentist. Since the curing light can only illuminate one tooth at a time, the whitening procedure can take a little longer than other laser procedures.
