Opalescence™ teeth whitening started in 1990 when a teenager asked her dentist dad if he could help her whiten her teeth. Now, Opalescence whitening is trusted by over 20,000 dentists1 and has brightened over 100 million smiles.
Touting more than three dozen top industry awards between them, Opalescence Go™ whitening trays, Opalescence™ Custom take-home whitening, and Opalescence™ Pro in-office whitening have set the pace in the clinical tooth whitening market since their inception.
Don’t just take our word for it. Read what dentists, reviewers, and industry experts have to say about Opalescence whitening.
Opalescence Go Prefilled Trays
“If you want more precision in your application to avoid gum sensitivity,* your best bet is combining teeth whitening gel with mouth trays or guards like in the Opalescence Go 15% kit.” – Mara Leighton and Rachael Schultz (Insider.com)
“This Opalescence Go kit has trays that are pre-loaded with gel to streamline the process even more. When I tested the trays for myself, the process was mess-free and fast.” – Arielle Avila (The Strategist, New York Magazine)
“If standalone gel isn’t your thing, or if you’d rather not use the LED-whitening trays, then consider Opalescence [Go]. These one-time-use trays come pre-loaded with whitening gel and go in like a mouth guard to cover all of your teeth, molar to molar. They instantly adjust to fit snug and secure. [ . . . ] Both concentrations contain potassium nitrate and fluoride, which help minimize sensitivity.* [ . . . ] All of this ensures professional-level, consistent results at home, and really whitens all your chompers (not just the front few like some other techniques).” – Editors (GQ.com)
“They are very convenient. I have a patient who wears them on the drive home from work every day* [ . . . ] They’re also dummy-proof.” – Anonymous Evaluator (Dental Product Shopper)
“The advantage of recommending Opalescence Go is that it also contains potassium nitrate as well as fluoride.” – Melissa Van Witzenburg, MS, RDH, (RDH Magazine)

Opalescence Custom Take-Home Whitening
“The Opalescence sticky, viscous formula does not leach from the tray and the sticky gel holds the comfortable tray securely in place. Potassium nitrate and fluoride decrease sensitivity [ . . . ]. Twenty percent water content [helps] prevent dehydration and shade relapse, making Opalescence reliable bleaching gels. Opalescence is available in a variety of concentrations, formulations, flavors, and kit configurations to meet all your patients’ whitening needs.” – Editors (DentalCompare.com)
“Opalescence [Custom] is ideal for at-home treatments because of its versatility and customization depending on the patient’s desired results and clinical condition. [ . . . ] In addition to versatility, Opalescence [Custom] provides practical solutions to many of the common complications associated with whitening and at-home treatments.” – Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA, CDD, Ultradent Key Opinion Leader (Dental Products Report)
“I’ve used several whitening systems in the past, but my go-to and favorite is the Ultradent Opalescence system. The cost is favorable, there are five different bleach concentrations, and it’s patient friendly. I’m a ‘simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’ kind of person, and as a result, my office fabricates quite a few at-home bleaching systems. Patients love purchasing them as Christmas or birthday gifts for spouses and other family members.” – Stacey L. Gividen, DDS (Dental Economics)
“If you're looking for a teeth whitening option that really offers dentist-quality results but at a fraction of the cost, this patented whitening gel is a must-have. This set comes with eight syringes, and the gel itself consists of fluoride, potassium nitrate, and 35 percent carbamide peroxide gel.” – Shayna Murphy (Bustle.com)

Opalescence Pro In-Office Whitening
“Opalescence [Pro] by Ultradent is also a great product and a fantastic option for patients who are looking for quick, dramatic results.” – Colleen Olson, RDH (DentistryIQ.com)
“Much better than any product we’ve used.” – Anonymous Evaluator (Dental Product Shopper)
“The difference between Opalescence's in-office system and other chairside whitening systems is its chemically-activated gel, which eliminates the need for dental lasers or lights normally used to activate the process. That means no heat or ultraviolet rays, which could be beneficial to patients with sensitive teeth or dry mouth.* [ . . . ] Because there are no expensive lasers for your dentist to purchase, you may find that Opalescence [Pro] costs less that other in-office whitening systems.” – Editors (Dentistry.com)
