Brighten your smile with a professional or at-home solution
A bright, white smile is often seen as a symbol of health and youth. However, factors like lifestyle habits, genetics, and aging can discolor teeth over time. Teeth whitening offers an effective way to restore brightness, enhancing the look of your smile.
At Blue House Dental, we provide two professional whitening options through the Pola Day Advanced Tooth Whitening System. This system uses a safe bleaching agent, such as carbamide peroxide, to target stains on the enamel and gently lift discoloration. Whether you want an in-chair treatment for quick results or a take-home kit for gradual whitening, we’ve got you covered with expert care and proven solutions.
Pre-Treatment Check-Up: A Crucial Step
Before commencing any whitening treatment, it’s essential to examine your teeth and gums. We recommend having your teeth cleaned by a hygienist before starting whitening to remove plaque and ensure optimal results. This ensures there are no untreated issues, such as decay or gum disease, that could impact the safety or comfort of the procedure. Your dentist will also check for dental restorations, like crowns, veneers, or fillings, as these won’t whiten like natural teeth. During this consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations based on your oral health, as some stains—like those caused by internal discoloration—may require alternative treatments.
The Whitening Process with Teeth Whitening Gel
The journey to a whiter smile begins with a personalized consultation. Your dentist will assess your oral health, addressing any concerns like sensitivity or gum irritation, to determine if whitening is right for you. A thorough consultation helps ensure the best results and an effective treatment tailored to your needs. Based on your desired results, they’ll recommend the best option:
- In-Chair Whitening: Ideal for quick, dramatic results, this treatment involves applying a powerful whitening gel that is activated with a special light. In just one visit, stains are broken down, leaving you with a noticeably brighter smile and a professional whitening experience.
- At-Home Whitening: For more gradual whitening, we offer custom-made trays paired with professional-grade whitening gel. This flexible option allows you to brighten your smile over a few weeks, fitting conveniently into your daily routine.
To maintain your results, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene. Brush and floss regularly, and limit stain-causing habits like smoking or consuming red wine and coffee. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild irritation in the mouth, which usually resolves quickly. Regular dental check-ups will also ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy, helping your brighter smile last longer.
Safe, Comfortable, and Predictable
The Pola Day Advanced Whitening System ensures a safe and comfortable experience, even for those with sensitive teeth. Teeth whitening is generally safe when performed under professional supervision. Its unique formula includes soothers and conditioners to minimize sensitivity and has a high water content to prevent tooth dehydration—common with other whitening systems.
Your dentist will select the appropriate gel strength, ensuring your tooth enamel is protected while achieving optimal results. You’ll also receive clear instructions on caring for your teeth during and after treatment, including tips for maintaining your brighter smile, like using whitening toothpaste to prevent future stains. While teeth naturally discolor over time, your dentist can guide you on how often touch-ups are needed to maintain your desired result with ongoing care and periodic touch-ups.

The effects of teeth whitening will last anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years. The whitening effects will fade sooner if you smoke, don’t brush and floss often, and consume staining substances such as red wine and coffee.
It will last longer if you minimise these substances and take good care of your oral health.

No. Teeth whitening is a procedure that lightens the enamel of your natural teeth via a gel. This does not affect the colour of dental crowns, veneers, or composite resin (white fillings).
If you wish for a crown, veneer, or fillings to match the colour of your teeth; you will need to discuss this with your dentist as additional work may be required.
Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under the age of 16, those with dental issues such as gum disease or cavities, and anyone who is pregnant.
Your dental professional can help you determine if you are a good candidate for teeth whitening.
