Pola office plus in office teeth whitening
Pola Office Plus is a professional peroxide whitening system applied after the dentist checks enamel, gums, and existing restorations.
The short answer
Pola Office Plus is a professional peroxide whitening system applied after the dentist checks enamel, gums, and existing restorations. The clinician protects soft tissue, applies the gel according to the product protocol, and monitors comfort during the appointment.
What does in-office peroxide whitening involve?
The system is designed for in-office bleaching of natural teeth. Peroxide moves through enamel and dentine to break down colour molecules, but fillings, crowns, veneers, and bridges retain their existing shade.
How can you prepare for an in-office whitening visit?
Have a dentist examine your teeth and gums before treatment, then discuss cleaning, shade recording, isolation, gel application, and any home maintenance plan. Follow the aftercare instructions and avoid placing gel on irritated tissue.
When should teeth be assessed before whitening?
Seek assessment before whitening for decay, cracks, gum disease, exposed roots, or a single tooth that has darkened. Contact the clinic for ongoing sensitivity, gum whitening or burning, swelling, or pain after treatment.
What should you ask about shade matching and sensitivity?
Ask which teeth can be whitened, how restorations will be matched, what concentration and contact time will be used, and how sensitivity or gum irritation will be managed.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pola Office Plus the same as cleaning?
No. Cleaning removes deposits and surface stain, while peroxide whitening changes the colour of suitable natural tooth structure.
Why are my teeth sensitive afterward?
Peroxide can temporarily affect the tooth nerve through enamel and dentine, especially when teeth already have exposed dentine or cracks.
