Whitening with the Beyond lamp

White teeth increase our attractiveness, give us self-confidence and, as a result, improve the comfort of life, which is why teeth whitening is by far the most commonly chosen procedure to improve the aesthetics of our smile.

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular procedures in aesthetic dentistry. The expected goal is achieved by inducing the oxidation of the enamel surface, which significantly changes its shade.

At Your Med Medical Centre, teeth whitening is performed using the Beyond Polus Advanced apparatus. Specially designed and equipped with the necessary functions, the lamp allows you to apply the desired light intensity, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure and, above all, is absolutely safe for the patient. It is important not only from the point of view of the person undergoing such treatment but also from the dentist’s point of view, that whitening with the BEYOND POLUS ADVANCED lamp minimizes the likelihood of hypersensitivity.

Before each teeth whitening procedure with the Beyond Polus Advanced lamp, a consultation with a dentist or hygienist is held to exclude possible contraindications and discuss possible results. If tartar is detected, it is recommended to carry out preliminary hygienic treatment of the teeth, i.e. sandblasting and scaling, to ensure the best results. After this procedure, it is recommended that you wait approximately 14 days before undergoing the whitening procedure. The procedure is divided into several stages.

The first is to put on a so-called dilator to facilitate access to the dental arches, as well as protective goggles and protect the gums from contact with the whitening agent with a special bridge. The next stage is the application of the whitening gel and exposure to the lamp for 15 minutes. This procedure is repeated two to three times. The bleaching agent oxidizes food pigments that have accumulated in dentin over the years, resulting in a lighter tooth.

Immediately after whitening, the enamel is dehydrated. As a result, the teeth absorb all the dyes from drinks and food like a sponge. Therefore, you should not eat for the first two hours immediately after the procedure, and you can only drink still mineral water.

For the first 48 hours after the procedure, you must strictly follow the ‘white diet’. This is a key moment for our snow-white smile. During the first two days, teeth are especially sensitive to pigments contained in food.
