According to the Canadian Dental Association, there are two main categories for teeth whitening products – surface whiteners and bleaches. Surface whiteners, such as teeth-whitening toothpastes or chewing gums, are less likely to cause tooth wear, but their effectiveness is limited to surface stains.
In contrast, bleaches can alter the colour of the tooth itself. Still, bleaching should be done professionally under a dentist’s care for safe and effective results, as the response to bleaching depends on the nature of the stains and the dental treatments you have received before, such as fillings, root canals, crowns, and so on.
In-Office vs. Take-Home Whitening in East Vancouver
You can choose between our in-office Pola whitening or a customized take-home whitening kit. Either option can give you a brighter, whiter smile.
The in-office whitening option gives you the fastest results, getting you ready for an upcoming vacation or special event.
The take-home kit lets you whiten your teeth for about 15 minutes each day, making it convenient to fit into your schedule.
Why We Use Pola
At Alta Dental Studio, we use Pola whitening products because we have found them to produce the brightest, most consistent results. Pola whitening products contain a strong bleach that safely whitens teeth at a neutral pH, protecting your teeth and gums.
Is Whitening Right for You?
When you visit us for a cosmetic consultation, we’ll discuss whether teeth whitening is an option for you.
Here’s what we look for:
- Good oral health — You need strong, healthy tooth enamel and no signs of gum disease.
- Natural teeth — Whitening works well on your natural teeth, not restorations.
- Realistic expectations — It’s important to understand that professional whitening can’t give you unnaturally white teeth.
