A Brighter Smile With Professional Guidance
- Address stains on natural teeth: Whitening can lighten many stains associated with coffee, tea, tobacco and aging.
- Choose where treatment happens: Compare Pola Office treatment with Pola Day or Pola Night take-home whitening.
- Plan around sensitivity: Discuss sensitive teeth before treatment and receive guidance if discomfort develops.
- Understand the likely result: Learn how your starting shade, type of discoloration and existing dental work affect your options.
Our Pola Teeth Whitening Options
Pola Office In-Office Whitening
Pola Office whitening is performed at our practice under dental supervision. It may suit patients who prefer treatment in the office rather than following a whitening routine at home.
Before treatment, we assess your teeth and gums and discuss your desired shade. Our team explains the procedure, protects the surrounding soft tissues and monitors your comfort. The amount of improvement varies, so we do not promise a specific number of shades.
Pola Day and Pola Night Take-Home Whitening
Pola Day and Pola Night provide dentist-directed whitening at home. We supply the selected gel and explain how to use it with your whitening trays.
Your instructions depend on the product and concentration recommended for you. Follow the prescribed amount and wear time rather than assuming that more gel or longer treatment will produce a better result.
Is Whitening Right for Your Discoloration?
Whitening changes the color of natural teeth. It does not lighten crowns, veneers, bonding or tooth-colored fillings. If those restorations show when you smile, we will discuss how whitening could affect the overall shade match.
Not all discoloration responds equally. Yellowing may respond differently from gray discoloration, medication-related staining or a tooth that has darkened after an injury. Dr. Kirian evaluates the cause before recommending treatment.
Existing cavities, gum irritation, exposed roots or sensitivity may need attention first. A dental examination and cleaning can also help distinguish removable surface stains from discoloration that may benefit from whitening.
Start With the Least Treatment That Meets Your Goals
Dr. Kirian approaches cosmetic care by considering how to improve your smile while preserving healthy tooth structure. Whitening may address a color concern without changing the shape of your teeth.
If you also want to improve chips, uneven edges or tooth position, we can compare whitening with dental bonding, veneers or clear aligners. More treatment is not automatically the better choice.
Your consultation is a chance to explain what bothers you and decide which changes matter most. Dr. Kirian will discuss suitable options, their limits and how they fit your oral health.
Keeping Your Smile Brighter
Whitening results are not permanent. Food, drinks, tobacco and natural aging can change tooth color over time. Maintain daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth, keep regular dental visits and follow the care instructions provided with your treatment.
Ask us before restarting an old whitening kit or increasing how often you use it. We can check your teeth and advise whether a touch-up is appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Which teeth whitening products do you offer?
We offer Pola Office for in-office whitening and Pola Day and Pola Night for take-home treatment. Dr. Kirian helps select an option based on your oral health, sensitivity, goals and preferences.
How quickly will I see a difference?
The timing depends on the whitening method, starting shade and type of staining. In-office treatment concentrates whitening into an office visit, while take-home whitening follows a prescribed schedule. We will discuss a realistic timeline before you begin, especially if you have an upcoming event.
Can professional whitening cause sensitivity?
Yes. Temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation can occur. Tell us about sensitivity before treatment, and contact us if symptoms develop. We can advise whether to pause treatment or adjust the approach.
Will whitening change the color of my crown or veneers?
No. Whitening lightens natural teeth but does not change the shade of crowns, veneers or tooth-colored fillings. If you are planning new cosmetic dental work, discuss whitening first so the treatments can be coordinated.
Is professional whitening better than whitening strips?
Some over-the-counter products can lighten teeth. Professional care adds an examination, product selection and guidance based on your mouth. It also gives you a dental team to contact about sensitivity, uneven color or questions during treatment.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The fee depends on the treatment recommended. At your consultation, we can compare the available options and explain the cost before you decide.
What if whitening will not achieve the result I want?
We will explain the limits before recommending additional treatment. Depending on the concern, other cosmetic dentistry options may help, but the decision should reflect your goals and the health of your teeth.
