What is involved in the Opalessence dental whitening procedure?

I believe there are different versions of Opalenscence but here is the information on the one I have done, which I believe is Custom.





The dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions get sent to Opalenscence and they make thin trays that are custom fit for your teeth from those impressions.





You will receive the custom trays and whitening gel that comes in plastic syringes. You will put the gel in the trays and then wear the trays for 1 hour - maybe longer your dentist will tell you that information. The first time you do the process you will probably do this several days in a row.





The making of the trays process is a one time thing. After that you can re-order the whitening gel whenever you run out. The gel lasts for several treatments so you probably would only need to repurchase it once a year or every other year.





Your dentist can also give you more details.
