Teeth Whitening

Professional tooth whitening to lighten the natural shade of the teeth and remove staining from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco. Reg-Med offers two whitening methods so the approach can be matched to your teeth and preference, carried out after a dental check to confirm the teeth and gums are healthy. Whitening is a cosmetic treatment and works best on natural teeth that have first been professionally cleaned.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to lighten the natural colour of the teeth and lift the staining that builds up over time from food, drinks such as coffee, tea and red wine, and smoking. At Reg-Med Klinika whitening is part of the aesthetic dentistry offering, and the clinic provides two whitening methods so the dentist can recommend the one that best suits your teeth, the degree of discoloration and how quickly you would like to see a change. Before whitening, a dental examination (50 zł) confirms that the teeth and gums are healthy and that the discoloration is the kind that responds to bleaching; a professional clean is usually advised first so the gel works evenly on a clean surface. In-clinic whitening is carried out by the dental team and can produce a noticeable change in a single visit, while a take-home option uses custom trays and gel to whiten more gradually at home — the two methods on offer let the clinic balance speed against sensitivity. Some short-lived sensitivity to cold is common after whitening and usually settles within a day or two. Whitening lightens natural tooth enamel only; it does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so if you have restorations on your front teeth the dentist will explain how the final result may look and whether replacing any of them would give a more even shade. Results are not permanent and gradually fade, so occasional top-ups and avoiding heavily staining habits help maintain the effect. As a cosmetic procedure, whitening is planned around your overall dental health, and the dentist will set realistic expectations for the shade change you can achieve.
