According to a survey by Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors, a huge 40% of Brits are unhappy with their teeth[1], and nearly half the respondents planned to pursue cosmetic dentistry in the future. Dissatisfaction with smile aesthetics is the driving reason why the global teeth whitening market is expected to reach $10.6 billion by 2030[2]. As dentists, these stats should represent valuable information to grow your business and better serve your customers.
What teeth whitening treatments are you offering? Can you cater to patients who want to be treated in-practice and on the go? Have you discovered the Opalescence range from Ultradent? Have you discovered the take-home teeth whitening system perfect for patients on the go?
With easy teeth whitening treatments, patients can achieve a brighter smile without sacrificing their busy schedule. Busy patients who are constantly on the go can benefit from teeth whitening options that are quick and convenient, such as at-home whitening kits or in-office treatments that can be completed in a single visit. The easier it is to complete treatment, the more likely patient compliance will be, maximising the number of patients correctly completing treatment.
By offering these easy teeth whitening options, dentists can help their patients achieve the smile they desire while also providing them with the flexibility they need to maintain their busy lifestyles.
Opalescence whitening gels work by treating both the enamel and dentine, enabling more thorough whitening. Opalescence gels contain an active whitening ingredient – either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide – which break down into water, oxygen, and reactive oxygen molecules. These reactive oxygen molecules can reach enamel and dentine within the tooth, oxidising the bonds of discoloured stain molecules. By changing the stained molecules, the tooth becomes lighter.
The Opalescence range from Ultradent has something for every patient’s whitening needs.
Opalescence Go
The ultimate take-home system you can provide for your patients. Opalescence Go is a great choice for patients looking for professional whitening performance they can carry out at home.
This convenient home whitening system comes with a comfortable UltraFit™ tray, molar to molar coverage, a gel designed to maximise patient comfort. The trays are prefilled and ready for use, and have a 6% hydrogen peroxide concentration.
Opalescence Go is also well suited for maintaining a smile’s brightness at home, as a follow-up to in-office whitening.
An article from Dentistry Today, sharing case studies using Opalescence products states: “Requiring no impressions or models, Opalescence Go provides professional whitening that is more effective than over-the-counter options and can also be used as a follow-up to in-office whitening or for as-needed touch-ups.”[3]
