Beautiful, white teeth with care from our dentist
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment suitable for patients of all ages who are looking for a brighter, whiter smile.
Over the years our teeth become yellow as a result of many different reasons. Poor oral hygiene is one of the main causes of yellow or discoloured teeth. If you visit our dentist in West Byfleet on a regular basis we can make sure that plaque and tartar do not build up on the surface of your teeth; to maintain the natural white and shine of your enamel. If you avoid the dentist for long periods of time then plaque and tartar evolve on the teeth and give a yellow or stained appearance. Other factors include smoking, which is a major culprit for yellow teeth. Certain food and drinks can cause teeth staining and certain medication can also affect the appearance of your teeth. If you are unhappy with the colour of your teeth then you need to speak to our dentist in West Byfleet and find out about teeth whitening.
POLA teeth whitening system
Here at Byfleet Dental we have a solution for everyone. We are proud to offer you the POLA teeth whitening system. Everyone has unique dental requirements and personal preferences and POLA is suitable for all lifestyles. POLA can be carried out gently and successfully at our dental practice or we have different treatment plans which you can carry out in the comfort of your own home.
POLA works using a combination of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. These are bleaching agents and therefore there are restrictions on the use of these solutions. At the practice our dentist in West Byfleet can safely use whitening gels consisting of a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than at home and this helps achieve highly enhancing results in a short period of time. The whitening session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes which is quicker than other surgery teeth whitening procedures. It is ideal for those who have a special event coming up and want to look their best.
POLA at home
If you would rather carry out teeth whitening gradually in the comfort of your own home then we have different home treatment kits to suit your needs.
Our POLA Day and Night kit is our conventional teeth whitening kit, designed to be worn for approximately 30 mins during the day and to be worn overnight when you sleep. POLA light is another excellent choice. The whitening kit includes an LED mouthpiece for even greater results. Light energy activates the hydrogen peroxide in the whitening gel and speeds up the bleaching process.
For those who are undergoing teeth straightening with aligners such as Invisalign, we also have a teeth whitening kit that consists of the gel only and can be inserted directly into your aligners and worn whilst you sleep overnight. These are highly convenient and you can straighten and whiten your teeth at the same time.
Speak to us at Byfleet Dental and we will help you choose the best treatment option for you. Very soon you will have a beautiful, white smile that you can confidently show off to the rest of the world.
