What is teeth whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective way to brighten your smile by removing surface stains and lightening deeper discoloration. Using Pola Professional in-office whitening, we apply a whitening gel directly to your teeth under the supervision of our dental team, so you can leave your appointment with a noticeably brighter smile in a single visit.

What can cause tooth discoloration?

Over time, everyday habits like coffee, tea, red wine, and the natural aging process can dull your smile. Teeth whitening is a quick, comfortable cosmetic treatment that lifts those stains and restores brightness. With Pola Professional in-office whitening, we carefully protect your gums and guide the whole process, so you get fast, professional results in the chair.

Who may benefit from teeth whitening?

Just about anyone can benefit from tooth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. With an oral exam, Drs. Signoriello or Rahmat can determine if you are a candidate for this procedure, including a shade assessment.

Is teeth whitening becoming more popular?

Absolutely! A bright, glowing smile can make a big difference. The POLA Advanced Professional In-Office Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

Do the results last a long time?

By following some simple post-whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily.

How does the Take-Home System differ from the  In-Office System?

The main difference between the two systems is that you use the Take-Home System in the convenience of your own home over a few nights. This system takes a little more time to see results. The In-Office System is performed entirely in the office with same-day results.

Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and in-office whitening?

Yes! Consulting Drs. Signoriello and Rahmat is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. This system is clinically proven to whiten your teeth up to eight shades* in one hour or six shades* in just one appointment.

How does In-Office whitening System work?

The whitening active ingredient is 35% Hydrogen Peroxide. As Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged. The specialized light applied aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.

Is the In-office whitening procedure painful?

No. During the procedure, patients can actually listen to music. Many fall asleep.

Are there any side effects?

Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.
