Tray Teeth Whitening

Tray whitening lightens the natural colour of the teeth using custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your mouth, worn at home with a whitening gel. Treating one arch costs 450 zł and both arches 800 zł. Because the trays are made specifically for you, the gel is held evenly against the teeth for consistent results, and the trays can be reused for occasional top-ups. The dentist supervises the process and advises on wear time and expected outcome.

Tray whitening, also known as take-home or overlay whitening, is a supervised method of lightening the teeth using thin, custom-made trays and a professional whitening gel. The process begins with the dentist taking impressions of your teeth so that a dental laboratory or in-house process can produce trays that fit closely over your own dentition. You then wear the trays with a measured amount of gel for a set period each day over a couple of weeks, following the dentist's instructions on timing. At Stomatologia przy Grunwaldzkiej you can choose to whiten a single arch (the upper or lower teeth) for 450 zł or both arches together for 800 zł. The custom fit is important: it keeps the gel in even contact with the tooth surfaces and reduces contact with the gums, which is associated with more uniform results and less irritation than ill-fitting one-size trays. Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during a whitening course, which usually settles after treatment finishes. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel and does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, so the dentist may recommend whitening before any new aesthetic work so that restorations can be matched to the lighter shade. The trays can be kept and reused with fresh gel for occasional maintenance. A consultation and a healthy mouth — free of untreated decay or significant gum problems — are recommended before starting.
