How does POLA Teeth-Whitening Work?

POLA tooth-whitening is a fast and effective kind of tooth-whitening that has some great advantages. It's ideal for people with sensitive teeth, and it brightens and whitens teeth affected by a wide range of stains.

How it Works


The active ingredient in the POLA teeth-whitening system is hydrogen peroxide, at a concentration of 37.5% it's strong enough to get teeth looking gorgeously white in just 30 minutes, while most other dentist whitening treatments take around 45 minutes or longer.

During the treatment your dentist will paint the hydrogen peroxide gel onto your teeth, taking care not to get any on your gums. During the 30 minute treatment time, the hydrogen peroxide in the gel breaks down and releases reactive oxygen. The oxygen enters your tooth enamel, and bleaches the substances in the enamel that are causing staining. POLA can effectively lighten most kinds of tooth stains, including stains caused by coffee, tea, and red wine as well as some foods; tobacco; certain medications and medical conditions; injury; and even age.

Minimal Discomfort, Even for People with Sensitive Teeth


Normally this kind of treatment is uncomfortable and even painful, especially for people with sensitive teeth, but thanks to POLA's unique formulation, discomfort is kept to a minimum both during and after the treatment.

• POLA has a built-in desensitizing agent, in the form of potassium nitrate, which penetrates the nerves in teeth and prevents pain signals reaching the brain.
• POLA has a neutral pH, which means less sensitivity during and after treatment.
• A shorter treatment time means less exposure to whitening chemicals, and less discomfort overall.

Long-Lasting Affects You can Touch Up at Home


The results of POLA teeth-whitening last a long time but aren't completely permanent. Your teeth will still be whiter than they would have been without the treatment but over time there will be a little fading. It's easy to touch up your teeth at home with a POLA take-home kit, or just to return to your dentist for another quick professional treatment.
