Discover teeth whitening to suit you with Opalescence.

Are you happy with your smile? In the UK, 40% of the population are unhappy with their teeth[1], and a prominent reason for this is discolouration. But there is no need for you to remain dissatisfied with your smile; the Opalescence teeth whitening range from Ultradent has a solution for everyone!

The confidence you have in your smile makes a huge difference to your life, so don’t settle for less than you want. Speak to your dentist about the Opalescence range and how it can work to give you the bright smile you want.

Sceptical about results? Go professional!

Perhaps in the past you’ve tried over-the-counter whitening solutions and been disappointed in the result being either imperceptible, or short-lived?

Over-the-counter solutions may seem appealing due to their lower cost and convenience, but professional teeth whitening is a better choice for those seeking a brighter, more radiant smile.

First and foremost, professional teeth whitening is much more effective than over-the-counter solutions. The whitening agents used in professional treatments are much stronger and typically applied using custom-fitted trays or during in-office procedures that are tailored to your specific needs. As a result, professional whitening can remove even deep stains and discoloration, resulting in a noticeably brighter and more even smile.

In addition, professional teeth whitening is much safer, as it is performed under the supervision of a trained dental professional. This means that the risk of sensitivity or damage to the teeth and gums is greatly reduced, and any issues that do arise can be addressed immediately.

As well as being tailored to your needs and able to provide a more effective whitening treatment, the professional Opalescence range from Ultradent comes with a variety of solutions, so you can find a treatment that suits your needs and lifestyle without compromising on results.

Keep your teeth bright

While professionally whitened teeth will give you long-lasting results, to get the most out of your smile, you need to support the treatment at home.

The best way to maintain a new, brighter smile, is through good dental habits – follow the instructions of your dentist, they know what they’re talking about!

  • Brushing: twice a day, preferably with an electric toothbrush. This helps your general oral health and can remove any particles from your diet or lifestyle that could stain your teeth.
  • Flossing daily: reach places your brush can’t, and make sure you’ve cleaned away anything that could stain your teeth or irritate your gums.
  • Mouthwash: reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth for a cleaner, fresher smile.
  • Diet: sugar can damage your teeth, and other unhealthy food can stain, a healthier diet can help to keep your teeth bright.

For an extra boost, Opalescence Whitening Toothpaste is an excellent choice for everyday maintenance of your smile!

Talk with your dentist about the Opalescence range and experience a professionally bright smile for yourself!
