Take-Home Teeth Whitening (Both Arches)

Take-home whitening uses custom-made trays and professional-strength gel to lighten the natural teeth gradually at home. Klinika dr Gajda makes trays for both arches at 1,500 zł, or a single arch at 1,000 zł, after checking that the teeth and gums are healthy. The clinic also offers in-surgery whitening of a live tooth and internal whitening for a darkened root-treated tooth, so the approach can be matched to the cause of the discolouration.

Professional tooth whitening lightens teeth that have darkened or yellowed with age, diet or staining by using peroxide-based gels under the supervision of a dentist. The take-home (tray) method offered at Klinika dr Gajda combines clinically supervised gel with custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth, allowing a controlled, gradual lightening that many people find gentler and easier to manage than a single intense session. Before whitening, the dentist checks that the teeth and gums are healthy and that any decay or active gum problems are treated, and a hygiene clean is often recommended first so the gel works on clean enamel. Impressions are taken to make the trays, and you wear them with a measured amount of gel for a set period each day over one to two weeks, lightening both arches (1,500 zł) or a single arch (1,000 zł); additional gel syringes are available at 100 zł for occasional top-ups. For a single discoloured tooth, the clinic offers in-surgery whitening of a living tooth (400 zł), and for a tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment, internal (non-vital) whitening from the inside (400 zł) can be more effective than external bleaching. Some short-lived sensitivity is common and usually settles quickly. Results vary with the starting shade and habits such as coffee, tea, red wine and smoking, and existing crowns, veneers and fillings do not change colour. The dentist advises on the likely outcome and how to maintain it at consultation.
