Teeth whitening / Getting My Teeth whitened

Polaoffice+ In-Chair Teeth Whitening procedure 
This in-office whitening procedure involves several steps, including cleaning your teeth, applying the whitening gel, and then waiting for the bleaching agent to penetrate the enamel.

Preparation for teeth whitening
To start the whitening process, we first identify your current tooth colour and use the Pola scale to help us determine your ideal shade. Then we analyze which of the multiple products will produce the best results for your teeth. If your teeth tend to be sensitive, we will recommend using Soothe before your whitening treatment. This product helps reduce tooth sensitivity during the whitening process. When all the preparations are done, a thin layer of the whitening gel is applied to the teeth. The whitening gel is then contained by whitening trays to prevent being diluted by saliva.

Processing time for Pola teeth whitening
Pola Office+ is an advanced whitening system that delivers a high concentration of peroxide directly onto the surface of the teeth.
The gel is applied to the teeth and left on for 30 minutes before being gently removed. The gel contains a special formulation of peroxide that is released quickly, allowing you to see results almost instantly.

Does teeth whitening cause any dental problems?
Pola Office+ is an extremely effective tooth whitener that is safe for your teeth and designed to protect your nerves, gums and teeth. Some individuals experience slight sensitivity after treatment, but this is temporary and usually goes away within a few hours. If you feel any discomfort during the treatment, please let us know immediately. We will stop the treatment if necessary. Our product contains no acids, alcohols or other harmful chemicals. Pola Office+ is also free of fluoride, mercury and other toxins.

How well does teeth whitening by a dentist work?
With the increase in popularity of cosmetic whitening treatments, there is a growing concern about the safety of using them. Many patients are concerned about the potential side effects of using high concentrations of peroxide. Some of the concerns include sensitivity, discoloration, and even damage to enamel. In-clinic whitening provides a safe alternative to at-home options. You can rest assured knowing that your dentist is applying the highest concentration of peroxide available. Your results will be far superior to those obtained from other methods.

How to know if in-chair teeth whitening is for you?
Teeth bleaching is an effective way to brighten your smile. There are many different types of treatments available, including at home kits, professional treatments and even laser treatments. At-home kits usually consist of a tray, gel and instructions. These trays are designed to fit around your mouth and gently hold the gel against your teeth. You will need to apply the gel for about 30 minutes each time you brush your teeth. Professional treatments can last anywhere from 1 hour to 2 weeks depending on the type of treatment you choose. Laser treatments are also becoming increasingly popular. These treatments are performed by dentists and can last anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours.

Why can only dentists use high strength whitening gels in Australia?
Hydrogen Peroxide is an effective bleaching agent, however there are many restrictions placed upon its use. Hydrogen Peroxide is not recommended for use on teeth or gums because it can damage tissue. If you are looking for a fast and easy way to brighten your smile, then we recommend using a professional dental clinic. We offer a range of treatments including veneers, crowns, implants and bridges. These procedures will last longer than a single visit at a cosmetic dentist, but will provide you with a brighter smile for years to come.

How much should a teeth whitening procedure cost?
The costs associated with teeth whitening vary depending on the individual, their current condition of their teeth, and the desired result of the whitening procedure itself. Only trained professionals are legally allowed in Australia to use high strength whiteners, so there will always be a price difference. During your consultation, we will assess your oral hygiene and help you determine if you are eligible for our professional whitening treatments. We will also be able to advise you on the best pola office+ product to use on your teeth during your appointment.
