Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening to lighten the natural shade of the teeth and reduce staining from coffee, tea, wine and age. The clinic offers in-office whitening, carried out chairside for a noticeable result in a single visit, and take-home tray whitening using custom trays you wear over a course of days. A hygiene appointment beforehand helps the gel work evenly and gives a cleaner starting point.

Professional teeth whitening uses a controlled peroxide-based gel to lighten the natural colour of the teeth and lift discolouration that builds up over time from food, drink, smoking and ageing. At Centrum Stomatologiczne dr Jadczyk two approaches are available. In-office, or chairside, whitening is performed at the clinic, where a higher-strength gel is applied to the teeth under professional supervision with the gums protected, producing a visible change in a single appointment. Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth, which you fill with a milder gel and wear at home over a number of days, lightening the teeth more gradually. The clinic recommends a hygiene (cleaning) appointment beforehand so that the gel acts on clean enamel and the result is more even. Whitening works on natural teeth; it does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so if these are present in the smile line the dentist will discuss how the result will look and whether any restorations should be replaced afterwards to match. Some temporary tooth sensitivity is common during or shortly after treatment and usually settles quickly. Whitening is best suited to adults with healthy teeth and gums and realistic expectations; a check beforehand ensures there is no untreated decay or gum problem, and the dentist will advise on maintaining the result and which option suits your teeth and lifestyle.
