FAQs

Tooth whitening brightens your smile without the need to spend a lot of time or money, it’s often one of the simplest fixes for a smile makeover.

Stains on your teeth come in two classes: on the surface, and beneath your enamel. Teeth whitening toothpastes can address superficial stains, but only systems provided by the professionals like Polar tackle both forms of staining. Using an active whitening agent that penetrates the enamel, the ingredients react with the discoloured molecules and break them apart. The whitening molecules spread and work their magic on your entire tooth for a whiter and brighter smile!

When provided by a dental professional, this treatment is entirely safe. Polar whitening gel contains potassium nitrate and fluoride which helps maintain the health of enamel throughout the process. It’s made to be extremely kind to your teeth, so you are protected during your treatment journey.

Of course! At your first appointment with us, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to make your custom whitening trays. After we’ve explained how to use the gel, talked through your treatment journey, and answered your questions, the treatment is in your hands to carry out at home.

The treatment itself is painless and promotes the health of your teeth during your journey. It’s entirely safe, though some patients do feel some short-term sensitivity. If you’re one of these few, we have products and advice that can help with this, so don’t be afraid to ask!

Depending on the degree of staining, you may need a thorough hygiene polish before you have whitening treatment to remove any discolouration caused by stains. The colour of crowns, veneers and dentures is not affected by tooth whitening. Old or dark crowns may need replacing to ensure they match your natural teeth.

If you eat and drink lots of staining foodstuffs such as red wine, strong coffee and or dark tea, dark fruits such as beetroot and coloured food with strong colouring or spices it may be harder to get quick and lasting results, as the less staining the quicker the results are seen. As your whitening trays are removable, you can eat and drink what you like, we do advise you to try to limit the above foodstuffs especially immediately around the whitening process, and obviously you take them out when you brush your teeth. You only need to be wearing the whitening trays night.–- providing you wear them for up to 8 hours per night.

With regular check-ups, we’ll be able to check your teeth are brightening as planned. You can also check your progress with the shade guide included with the kit.

In the last week of treatment, we’ll be able to make last-minute tweaks and adjustments to help create your perfect smile. Your dentist will talk through this step during your final appointments, ocassionally it takes a little longer with stubborn stains so we like to make sure you are happy, sometimes just treating individual teeth to lift their shade.

Following treatment, you’ll be able to keep your custom made tray to wear at night, which is yours to keep safe for when your wan to top up again with some extra gel. This will help keep your smile bright for the future.

“Just to say thank you and how pleased I am with the tooth whitening programme you arranged for me. I was surprised how easy the treatment was to do at home after the information that you gave me. Also the treatment that you did reconstructing my front teeth; I was amazed at how painless the process was and now my teeth look much more even. The whole treatment was well worth having done.”
