In-Office Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office whitening that lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a dental-grade gel applied under controlled conditions. Carried out by the clinic, it can achieve a more even, noticeable result than over-the-counter products while protecting the gums. A pre-whitening hygiene visit is advised so the gel works on clean enamel, and a lower-cost refresh session is available to maintain the result over time.

In-office teeth whitening at Stomatologia na Malarzy uses a concentrated professional whitening gel applied directly to the teeth while the gums and lips are protected, so the active ingredient lightens the enamel evenly under the dentist's supervision. Whitening works by breaking down stains and pigments that have accumulated within the tooth structure from food, drinks such as coffee, tea and red wine, and tobacco, as well as the natural darkening that comes with age. Because the procedure is carried out in the clinic, the strength of the gel and the protection of the soft tissues are controlled in a way that home kits cannot match. A professional hygiene appointment is recommended beforehand so that the gel acts on clean enamel rather than surface deposits, and the dentist will check that the teeth and gums are healthy before treatment. Some people notice temporary tooth sensitivity for a day or two afterwards, which usually settles. The final shade depends on your starting colour and the nature of the staining, and results are associated with a brighter, more uniform smile; existing fillings, crowns and veneers do not change colour, so the dentist will discuss this if you have visible restorations. The effect is not permanent and gradually fades as new staining accumulates, which is why a lower-cost refresh session is offered to top up the result. Whitening is best suited to adults with healthy teeth and gums; it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the dentist confirms suitability at consultation.
