Introduction
When it comes to one of the fastest growing and popular teeth whitening brands in the world, you can’t look past Opalescence.
That’s where this Opalescence buyers guide comes in!
Before we go into detail about the different Opalescence teeth whitening gel products you can choose from, first you need to know what Opalescence whitening gel and how it works.
What Is Opalescence Teeth Whitening Gel?
Opalescence teeth whitening gel is a fast acting teeth whitening solution which contains the highly effective carbamide peroxide whitening agent.
Available in many different strengths and flavours, Opalescence whitening gel has won legions of followers across the world and is known for its amazing teeth whitening results. It is also one of the cheaper whitening gels on the market meaning it’s perfect for those on a budget.
One of the unique features of Opalescence whitening gel is their patented syringe technology allowing for precise application of the whitening gel in mouth trays. This ensures the right amount of gel is used per each tooth and in the correct location in the mouth tray.
Opalescence whitening gel is also famous for having a range of different flavours such as regular, mint and melon – making it perfect for those who want a whitening gel that doesn’t taste chemically.
Ultimately, if you want a budget-friendly, fast acting, great tasting and high impact whitening gel then you can’t go wrong with Opalescence.
Things To Consider Before Buying Opalescence Whitening Gel
Are Your Teeth In Good Condition?
No matter what teeth whitening product you choose to buy, whether it’s a high strength whitening gel or a simple whitening toothpaste, the most important thing to consider is if your teeth are in a good enough condition to use the product and not cause you any long-term damage to your teeth.
If you are planning on purchasing Opalescence teeth whitening gel, we always advise you speak with your dentist or a dental professional to make sure your teeth are in a good enough condition to use the product.
Not only will this prevent any further damage to your teeth, it will also ensure you have peace of mind when using Opalescence whitening gel.
Do You Have Sensitive Teeth?
If you have sensitive teeth you may be thinking that you can’t use Opalescence whitening gel. This is not true at all.
Although any teeth whitening product will cause discomfort if you have very sensitive teeth, with a good daily dental hygiene routine using sensitive whitening toothpaste, flossing and the addition of a post-whitening anti-sensitivity product like remineralisation gel, you can still use Opalescence whitening gel without causing any teeth sensitivity.
If you do have sensitive teeth or you are concerned you may cause tooth sensitivity by using Opalescence whitening gel, but you also do want to use Opalescence whitening gel then we highly recommend you start with the lowest strength product in the Opalescence range.
This way you can test to see if the lowest strength Opalescence whitening gel causes sensitivity with your teeth. If it doesn’t cause any sensitivity and you want to whiten your teeth even brighter, then you can move up to the next strength Opalescence whitening gel with confidence.
Do You Have Gum Problems?
If you do have gum issues like gum disease or bleeding gums then we highly recommend you speak with your dentist or a dental professional to get advice before using Opalescence whitening gel.
The reason for this is the main whitening chemical in Opalescence whitening gel – carbamide peroxide, can cause oral health issues for those with gum problems.
Do You Have Good Dental Hygiene?
One of the fundamental points to keep in mind before using Opalescence whitening gel is do you have a good dental hygiene routine? For example, do you brush your teeth twice daily with whitening toothpaste? Do you floss? Do you use mouthwash? If the answer to most of these questions is ‘no’ then you will not get the best whitening results, not to mention whitening results that last a long time.
In order to maximise your Opalescence whitening gel results, we highly recommend a good daily dental hygiene routine is implemented to help maximise your whitening results, not just your immediate whitening results but long term whitening results also.
Do You Consume Staining Foods & Drinks?
If you consume a lot of straining foods and drinks, this will definitely have an effect on the quality of your whitening results.
Drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and fizzy drinks all contribute to the colour and health of your teeth. Also foods such as dark chocolate and dense tomato sauces found in pastas etc can also cause teeth discolouration over a period of time.
Even though Opalescence whitening gel can remove even the toughest of stains, it’s always a good idea to see if you can cut back on consuming these staining foods and drinks – if you do, your whitening results will be far superior and last a lot longer.
Do You Smoke?
Did you know smoking is the #1 cause of stained and discoloured teeth? Whether you smoke cigarettes, cigars or chew tobacco, if you smoke, your teeth are not going to stay white for very long.
Like with staining foods and drinks above, if you can cut down your consumption of tobacco products, your teeth will not only be brighter and more healthier, you will also look and feel more confident too.
Are Whitening Strips Better Suited?
This is the #1 question we get asked by our customers who are unsure whether to purchase whitening gel or whitening strips.
Our answer is simply ‘what is your preference?’. If you are happy to use whitening gel, mouth trays and are not bothered by any mess after whitening, then whitening gel is the perfect option for you.
Another option you can consider which is unique to Opalescence is the ‘Opalescence GO’ pre-filled mouth trays. This particular product takes care of the preparation (the mouth trays are already pre-filled with the exact amount of whitening gel) and post-whitening (the trays can be easily disposed after use). If you want to use Opalescence whitening gel but don’t want any of the hassle, then we highly recommend you consider Opalescence GO pre-filled whitening trays.
If on the other hand, you don’t feel confident about using whitening gel, mouth trays, or you don’t want to be bothered with all the preparation and post whitening clean-up, then whitening strips may be a better choice for you.

Opalescence 45%
The highest strength whitening gel in the Opalescence range, the Opalescence 45% teeth whitening gel will achieve the maximum teeth whitening results possible.
Even though it has a very high strength carbamide peroxide whitening solution, if handled carefully and used exactly as per manufacturer recommendations, this product is very safe to use.
We do however recommend you consult your dentist or dental professional before using this product to ensure your teeth and gums are in a satisfactory condition to use this product.
Lastly, due to the high strength whitening solution on Opalescence 45% whitening gel, discomfort and teeth sensitivity can be quite common. Therefore, we recommend you utilise a sensitive whitening toothpaste or remineralisation gel as part of your whitening regime with this product.

Opalescence GO 10%
People may wonder what is the difference between Opalescence 10% whitening gel and Opalescence GO 10% other than the pre-filled trays, well the answer is the type of whitening solution used in each product.
Whereas the standard Opalescence 10% whitening gel uses carbamide peroxide, Opalescence GO 10% uses the more powerful hydrogen peroxide.
You may be thinking, why have you included a more powerful whitening product for people with sensitive teeth, well the answer is simply down to the product itself.
As this product comes with ‘pre-filled mouth trays’, the correct amount of whitening solution has already been added to the tray for you.

How To Boost Opalescence Whitening Results
Whitening Toothpaste
One way to really boost your whitening results when using any of the Opalescence whitening gels, is to use a recommended whitening toothpaste.
Designed to enhance teeth whitening results both before and after usage of Opalescence teeth whitening gel, whitening toothpaste is fantastic at preserving your whitening results.
Whitening toothpaste has a range of whitening solutions that not only boost the whiteness of teeth but also prevent teeth enamel erosion, gum disease and bad breath.
If you have sensitive teeth, you can purchase special ‘sensitive’ versions of whitening toothpaste which is even better at preventing tooth sensitivity after using Opalescence whitening gel.
Here at 365 Teeth Whitening, we are proud to only stock the best whitening toothpastes on the market. If you are looking for a recommended and trusted whitening toothpaste to boost your whitening results, you can view our range of whitening toothpastes by clicking here.
LED Booster Light
Another great way to boost your whitening results with Opalescence whitening gel is to use an LED light. An LED light works by activating the whitening solution (carbamide/hydrogen peroxide) whilst the whitening solution is working its magic on your teeth.
Many of our customers have reported noticeable differences in whitening after just one use with an LED light compared to whitening without one.
Here on 365 Teeth Whitening, you can pick up a an LED Booster Light for just £7.99
Things To Be Mindful Of When Using Opalescence Whitening Gel
Mouth Trays
Unless you are planning on purchasing Opalescence GO pre-filled whitening trays, then you will need to purchase your own mouth trays if you are planning to use any of the standard Opalescence whitening gels.
Mouth trays are required so that you can put the correct amount of gel in each tooth section in the tray. This ensures each tooth will have a small amount of whitening gel attached to them so that even whitening can be achieved across the whole row of teeth.
The good news is that you don’t need to pay for costly custom mouth trays from your dentist. Instead you can purchase ‘mouldable’ mouth trays that you mould to your teeth in the comfort of your home.
And the best bit, you can buy these mouldable mouth trays for less than £10 here on 365 Teeth Whitening.
High Strength Products
If you are planning to purchase one of the higher strength Opalescence whitening gels then you do need to be mindful of the damage these products can cause if not handled correctly or as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you have never whitened your teeth before or are not confident in using whitening gels then we highly recommend you start off with a lower strength product as this way you will minimise any potential teeth enamel erosion, sensitivity or gum damage.
Usage Instructions
As with all products that contain potentially harmful chemicals or solutions, it is essential that you follow the recommended usage instructions from the manufacturer or the provider you bought the product from.
If you use Opalescence whitening gel incorrectly, you will increase the chance of teeth enamel erosion, tooth sensitivity and potentially long-term gum problems so always make sure you use the product in accordance with its usage guidelines.
Treatment Plans
Another key thing to be mindful of when using Opalescence whitening gel is to make sure you wear the product as per its treatment plan.
Due to the variances in strength and type of whitening solution (carbamide peroxide/hydrogen peroxide), some Opalescence whitening gels require either overnight wear or day wear. Some require a small amount of wear time whilst others will require longer wear time.
Lastly, always follow the recommended days in the treatment plan for Opalescence whitening gel you are using.This will ensure you get the maximum whitening results the product offers.
Teeth Issues
One of the most important, if not the most important things to be mindful of before using any Opalescence teeth whitening gel is to understand the condition of your teeth.
Before using any Opalescence whitening gel (or any whitening product for that matter) we always recommend speaking to your dentist first so that you get professional advice on the condition of your teeth.
If you have extreme teeth sensitivity, poor tooth enamel, bad tooth decay, a history of dental/gum disease, or you have crowns and bridges etc, Opalescence whitening gel will not be the right whitening product for you.
If in doubt, speak to your dentist first before purchasing any teeth whitening product.
Start With Low Strength Gels
As we have mentioned a few times in this Opalescence buyers guide, if you are new to teeth whitening or not confident in using whitening gels but want to give them a go anyway, we highly advise you start with the lowest strength Opalescence whitening gel.
This will ensure you minimise any issues or side effects that can sometimes happen with whitening gels.
Once you are confident in using the product or want to increase your whitening results further, then you can choose a higher strength Opalescence whitening gel, safe in the knowledge that you are confident in using the product and can avert any additional issues which may come from using high strength Opalescence whitening gels.
