Masking stained dentition or metal?

We have you covered with a Pink Opaquer (PO). Need a “whiter” extra white for patients who bleach? We’ve got that too.

  • It can be difficult to find composites that match the whitest teeth. That's why we created a whiter XW, to help meet the expectations of patients with extra white teeth.

  • Keep dark areas from diminishing esthetic results. Our Pink Opaquer effectively masks metal and stained dentition, improving the overall quality of the restoration.
