Fortunately, there are several teeth whitening services that can safely lift years of discoloration of enamel, giving you the white, beautiful smile that you deserve. Here is a clearer look at the teeth whitening procedure.

Cleaning Your Teeth
Before you can decide on the type of teeth whitening procedure you want the dentist to apply to you, the first step is professional teeth cleaning. The dentist will remove all the accumulated tartar and food debris from your teeth. While the chances are low, this process may significantly improve the appearance of your teeth in that whitening may not be necessary.
Determining Your Pre-treatment Tooth Shade
Both you and your dentist would like to know how effective your teeth whitening session will be. In order to make this comparison, your dentist will need to document the initial shade of your teeth before commencing with the treatment.
Isolating
Teeth whitening agents used during the process are caustic in nature and can irritate or even damage your soft tissues. Beside your gums, other parts of your body including the lips, cheeks, tongue and even eyes are exposed to the same risk as well. As a way of protecting these tissues, your dentist will place a barrier known as the dental dam to isolate them from the teeth.
Application of the Whitening Gel
Your dentist will apply a bleaching gel at this point. This is usually a thick paste that is generously applied on the surface of your teeth. He/she will then activate the gel either using bleaching light or laser. The bleaching light triggers a reaction with the whitening gel thus improving its effectiveness.
One of the most effective teeth whitening gel is the Pola advanced tooth whitening system. This is the fastest teeth whitening bleach and a great solution for those leading a busy life. This whitening gel works in under 30 minutes once the dentist applies it on the surface of your teeth.
With this kind of treatment, you will be able to achieve pearly white teeth almost instantly. The main reason behind this is the extremely powerful hydrogen peroxide used in the gel. It contains 37.7% hydrogen peroxide. Pola advanced technology has a variety of options you can choose from that include Pola office+, Pola office, Pola Day, and Pola Night.
Wrapping Up the Session
Once the bleach is exposed to your teeth for the recommended amount of time, the dentist will then remove it and thoroughly wash your teeth. He/she will then remove the isolation material. You will then have the opportunity to compare the results with the initial one together with your dentist.
