How does Ultradent Opalescence® Custom White work?
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth that will allow for custom trays to be made for your Opalescence Whitening Gel. The Opalescence Whitening Gel is placed in thin, comfortable trays and fitted over your teeth. As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin. This bleaches out the discolored areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed; the color of the tooth is simply made lighter.
