Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a controlled peroxide gel, either activated in the chair with a lamp or worn at home in custom trays. STARDENT offers tray or lamp whitening for 1,000 zł, and can also whiten a single dark, root-treated tooth from the inside for 150 zł per visit. A clean, healthy mouth gives the most even result, so a hygiene visit is usually advised first.

Teeth naturally darken and pick up stain over the years from food, drink, tobacco and ageing. Professional whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to lighten the enamel's shade in a controlled, supervised way that is gentler and more even than over-the-counter strips. At STARDENT the treatment is offered either as an in-chair procedure where the gel is activated with a lamp, or as a take-home system using custom-made trays that you wear for a set period each day — both priced at 1,000 zł. Before whitening, the dentist checks that the teeth and gums are healthy and usually recommends a hygiene visit so stain and tartar are removed first, which helps the result look even. Whitening works on natural tooth structure but not on existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so the dentist will discuss expectations and whether any visible restorations might later need replacing to match a brighter shade. Some people notice temporary tooth sensitivity for a day or two, which typically settles. For a single tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment, the clinic offers internal (non-vital) whitening from the inside at 150 zł per visit, which can avoid more invasive options such as a crown or veneer. Results vary between individuals and gradually relapse over time, so occasional top-ups help maintain the effect. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.
