Pola Teeth Whitening in Manhattan

Tooth discoloration can happen for a variety of reasons, and it can put a real damper on how great you feel about your smile. One of the most common causes of tooth discoloration is the regular consumption of dark beverages like coffee, black tea, or red wine. Eating deeply colored foods, such as curries, can also be a culprit, as can smoking or chewing tobacco.

Whatever the cause, we’re here to help you make your smile shine again so you can feel more confident in your appearance. In fact, we offer the very best in whitening treatment in Manhattan to ensure that you can achieve your best smile faster and more effectively than ever.

The Pola teeth whitening system works much more quickly than other tooth whiteners. It can whiten teeth in less than half an hour, whereas other whiteners take double the time.

Our Manhattan dentist has a couple of Pola teeth whitening options for you to choose from, depending on your needs and what’s most convenient for you.

Most patients report no sensitivity. Simply choose your whiteness shade from the Pola tooth color palette and our Manhattan team will advise you on the best treatment option for you.

The Teeth Whitening Process: What To Expect

• Cosmetic consultation – First, you’ll come to Blue Line Dental to get a cosmetic consultation from Dr. Steven Chavez. Dr. Chavez will examine your teeth, discuss your cosmetic issues, and help you design a personalized treatment plan based on your needs, your budget, and your schedule. Most of our cosmetic treatment plans include in-office or take-home teeth whitening.
  
• In-office whitening – In-office POLA teeth whitening at Blue Line Dental offers the fastest results, so it’s great if you want to whiten your teeth in a hurry. To begin the procedure, Dr. Chavez will clean your teeth and apply a special liquid to protect your gums. Then, he will use retractors to isolate your teeth, and apply a powerful POLA whitening compound. Next, he will activate the compound with a special light. After a few minutes, Dr. Chavez will rinse away the whitener and repeat this process, if necessary. It usually takes only 30 minutes to whiten your smile at Blue Line Dental.

• Take-home whitening – We also offer take-home POLA teeth whitening kits. You’ll come to our office and Dr. Chavez will fit you for a custom set of whitening trays. Then, in a few weeks, you’ll come back to our office to pick up your whitening trays and a set of POLA whitening products, as well as instructions from Dr. Chavez on how to use them. Then, you can whiten your smile in the comfort of your own home, and on your own schedule.

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

You’ll usually see the best results for up to 1-2 years after your treatment, though some patients are able to keep their smiles bright for a longer period of time. If you want to keep your smile looking beautiful for as long as possible, there are a few things you can do.

First, make sure to brush and floss regularly, and maintain a healthy diet. You may also want to consider adding an ADA-accepted whitening toothpaste or mouthwash into your routine, since this can help prevent the buildup of stains on your teeth. In addition, make sure you come to Blue Line Dental every six months for a teeth cleaning and checkup. Teeth cleanings can help remove surface stains and keep your smile looking great.

Cutting back on staining drinks like coffee, tea, wine, and cola can also help reduce the buildup of stains. You can also drink these beverages through a straw to minimize contact with your teeth. Also, you should avoid smoking and tobacco use, since tobacco is a major cause of stains.

Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?

Because we use advanced POLA teeth whitening products, most patients at Blue Line Dental report minimal or no sensitivity after teeth whitening. However, in some people, teeth whitening can cause their teeth to feel sensitive.

The good news is that this is temporary. Within a few days of your treatment, your teeth will stop feeling sensitive, and will go back to normal. You can help this process along by using anti sensitivity toothpaste that contains fluoride. Fluoride helps attract minerals to the outer layer of your tooth, strengthening the enamel and eliminating sensitivity.
