Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a dental-grade gel, achieving a brighter smile more safely and predictably than shop-bought kits. The clinic offers an in-office treatment for a faster result as well as a custom take-home tray system, and can also whiten a single tooth that has darkened after root-canal treatment. A hygiene visit beforehand helps the result come out even.

Professional whitening at Centrum Stomatologiczne Legnica lightens teeth that have yellowed or dulled with age, diet or habits such as coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. It uses a dental-grade peroxide gel at a controlled concentration, which lifts stains from within the enamel more effectively and more predictably than over-the-counter strips or pastes, while the surrounding gums and lips are protected and the process is supervised by the dental team. Two main approaches are offered. In-office whitening is carried out at the clinic in a single appointment for a faster, more immediate lift, with the gel applied to the teeth under professional supervision. The take-home option uses custom-fitted trays made for your teeth, which you wear with gel over a short course at home for a more gradual change and easy future top-ups. The centre can also treat a single tooth that has darkened internally after root-canal treatment, using a technique applied to that specific tooth. A professional hygiene visit beforehand is recommended so the surface is clean and the result comes out evenly. Whitening lightens natural tooth enamel only — it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers — so where these are present on visible teeth the dentist will discuss how to achieve a balanced result. Some people notice short-lived sensitivity afterwards, which usually settles quickly. Whitening is for adults with healthy teeth and gums; suitability is checked first, and it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
