In-Office Teeth Whitening (BlancOne Touch)

Professional in-office whitening using the BlancOne Touch system to lighten the natural teeth by several shades in a single visit. After the gums are protected, a whitening gel is applied and activated to break down stains accumulated from food, drinks and time. The clinic also offers take-home whitening with custom trays and a combined option, plus a fast post-cleaning refresh. Whitening is for the natural teeth and is planned around any existing fillings or crowns.

In-office whitening lightens the colour of the natural teeth using a professionally applied whitening gel activated in the dental chair. At Stomatologia Pietrzyccy the BlancOne Touch system is used, which is designed for a comfortable, relatively short session. The gums and soft tissues are isolated and protected first, then the whitening agent is applied to the teeth and activated to break down the pigments responsible for staining from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and the natural changes of ageing. Whitening is most predictable on natural tooth enamel; existing fillings, crowns and veneers do not change colour, so the clinic discusses how these will look relative to the lightened teeth, and whitening is often best timed before any new front-tooth restorations so they can be matched to the final shade. For patients who prefer to whiten gradually at home, custom-made trays and BlancOne home gel are available, a combined in-office and home protocol can deepen and prolong the effect, and a quick BlancOne Click refresh can be added after a hygiene appointment. Some temporary tooth sensitivity afterwards is common and usually settles within a day or two. Whitening is a cosmetic treatment associated with a brighter smile rather than a health treatment; a check-up beforehand confirms the teeth and gums are healthy and identifies the cause of any discoloration.
