Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening to lighten the natural shade of the teeth and remove years of staining from food, drink and tobacco. The clinic offers both a take-home system using custom trays worn overnight and a faster in-clinic treatment with a PureLite whitening lamp. A separate internal whitening option is available for a single darkened tooth that has had root canal treatment.

Professional whitening uses a controlled peroxide gel to break down stains that have built up within the enamel and dentine, lifting the teeth several shades lighter than at-home toothpastes can achieve. Having it done through a dental practice means the gums and lips are protected, the concentration is matched to your teeth, and a check-up first ensures there is no decay or gum problem that should be treated beforehand. Stomatologia Wileńska offers two main approaches. With take-home whitening, thin custom trays are made from impressions of your teeth; you wear them with the supplied gel, typically overnight, over a couple of weeks, which gives a gradual and easily controlled result. In-clinic whitening with the PureLite lamp is carried out in a single appointment: a stronger gel is applied and activated to lighten the teeth more quickly, which suits patients who want a noticeable change before an event. Some sensitivity during or just after treatment is common and usually settles within a day or two. Whitening works on natural tooth structure but not on fillings, crowns or veneers, so any visible restorations may need replacing afterwards to match. For a single tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment, the clinic offers internal (non-vital) whitening, which lightens the tooth from the inside. Your dentist will advise which method suits your teeth and the shade you are aiming for, and how to maintain the result.
