Colgate Optic White

What is Colgate Optic White?
Colgate Optic White is a range of cosmetic whitening and brightening products that use hydrogen peroxide or polishing technology to help improve the appearance of surface stains and tooth discolouration. Options include whitening gels (for use with custom fit trays), LED light systems, whitening pens, toothpastes, and toothbrushes.

How does Colgate Optic White Professional Gel work?
The professional-strength gels are applied with custom fit whitening trays provided by your dentist. They contain hydrogen peroxide to help lighten stains and are worn for short daily applications, typically around 30 minutes, or as directed by your dental professional.

What is the difference between the Whitening Pen and the LED Light System?
The Whitening Pen contains a fast-drying serum that can be applied directly to teeth for convenient touch-ups or overnight use. The LED Light + Pen system pairs the serum with a rechargeable LED device designed to enhance the whitening process in short daily sessions.

Can Colgate Optic White Toothpaste replace professional whitening?
No. Whitening toothpastes are intended for everyday use as part of your oral care routine. They contain lower levels of hydrogen peroxide or polishing agents to help reduce surface stains but do not provide the same results as professional-strength gels.

Do Colgate Optic White products work on all types of discolouration?
Whitening results vary and depend on factors such as the cause and depth of staining. These products are designed to improve the appearance of stains from lifestyle factors such as coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. They will not alter the colour of crowns, fillings, or veneers.

Who can use Colgate Optic White?
Not everyone is suitable for whitening. Children, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those with certain dental conditions may not be candidates. Always follow professional advice before beginning whitening treatments.
