Teeth whitening

Bleaching may apply to live or dead teeth (after endodontic treatment). For live teeth we can use the overlay method. However, due to the safety reasons, there are limitations on the concentrations of whitening agents placing in overlays. This method is therefore safe, but brings a small and short-lived effect. To maintain it, it is necessary to repeat whitening regularly. For patients selecting this method, the doctor prepares an individual overlay to be used at home. The use of standard overlays available on the market is not recommended, due to poor effectiveness, but mainly due to the traumatic effects on bite and possible complications of temporomandibular joints, which require a long-term treatment.

The most effective method of teeth whitening is the so-called thermocatalytic method using a lamp – accelerator. In our clinic we use the best available on the market accelerator: Beyond Polus Advanced, which guarantees a long-lasting effect after a single treatment.

Dead teeth whitening can only be performed in a dentist’s office, using “walking bleach” or “power bleach” sequences. These methods involve the introduction of a bleaching agent into the tooth cavity. In the “power bleach” method, the Beyond Polus Advanced lamp is used to enhance the effect.
