What is Opalescence Go?

Do you want whiter teeth and all that a brighter smile offers? Of course you do. A happy, healthy smile is an automatic mood booster. Smiling is good for your health, as it releases neuropeptides to help fight off stress. However, sometimes you might not feel like smiling. If your hesitancy to smile is because you have discolored or yellowing teeth, then the time to make a change is now. And the answer you’ve been searching for could be Opalescence Go.

Opalescence Go is a game changer for professional teeth whitening. Though in-office whitening is ideal, many patients want results comparable to those of professional-quality whitening treatments from the comfort of their homes. And that is just what Opalescence Go has to offer. Opalescence Go uses professional-strength prefilled whitening trays that offer the convenience you seek. And the highly innovative UltraFit trays conform to your smile easily, so they’re ready to use right out of the box. 

Here’s how it works:

• You’ll benefit from the supervision of your dentist.
• Your trays conform to the unique shape of your teeth.
• The system uses a powerful, prescription-based, dental-grade whitening gel.
• Results will continue to improve with each treatment.

Patients who use the Opalescence Go system are consistently pleased with the dramatic results they see after just one weekend or a week of at-home whitening. And results can last as long as six to 12 months before needing maintenance treatments.

Who can use Opalescence Go?

Teeth whitening is a safe, comfortable, highly effective way to get the brighter, whiter smile you deserve. Treatment time varies depending on the amount of stain you have and the tooth shade you desire. Further, you should know that dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, fillings, and veneers will not whiten during the Opalescence Go whitening process (or with any other whitening agent, for that matter). And if you have cavities, gum disease, worn enamel, or exposed roots, you should have those issues addressed first, then consult your dentist to see if whitening would be effective for you.  

To summarize, the best candidates for those who desire teeth whitening via Opalescence Go are:

• Patients with realistic expectations about what whitening can achieve
• Patients focused primarily on whitening and do not have other restorative or cosmetic issues to address first
• Patients without dental restorations on their front teeth
• Patients whose teeth and gums are free of decay and periodontal disease, respectively

The Benefits of a Whiter Smile

According to Statista, 37 million Americans used teeth whiteners in 2020, with an estimated 35.22 million in 2024. Of course, you may want to know why this figure is going down. And the answer is simple: At-home whitening became exceptionally popular during the pandemic when patients sought ways to improve their health and had more time. Yet consider that projected 35 million—that’s nearly 14% of the U.S. adult population!

But why are so many people seeking the benefits of a whiter smile? Because the benefits are substantial!

• Create a great first impression: People pay attention to your smile.
• Identify (and land) better jobs: Employers like to see someone who is positive, upbeat, and self-confident.
• Improve your self-confidence: You’ll feel like smiling more often.
• Appear friendlier and more approachable to others: A smile makes people feel more at ease.
• Feel more attractive: This is a huge bonus to your personal life.
• Have a more positive outlook: Remember that smiling is an automatic mood-booster.
• Give others a mood boost: Smiles are infectious; the more you smile, the more others around you will smile in return.
• Gain a younger appearance: A bright, white smile automatically takes years off your face.
• Experience better oral health: When you have your teeth whitened, you will be more likely to adopt better oral health habits to keep your mouth in tip-top shape.

As you can see, the benefits of a brighter and whiter smile are endless. So the question to ask yourself is “Do I want whiter teeth?”
