Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening Seven Hills
Pola Light is an innovative teeth whitening system that combines Pola’s effective whitening gels with an LED mouthpiece for accelerated results.
It offers two gel options, treats both upper and lower teeth simultaneously without trays, and provides more vital whitening than typical retail products.
Why Whiten Teeth?
Why should you choose Teeth Whitening? We look at you as a patient rather than as a sales opportunity.
This means we take the time to understand your teeth, lifestyle, and circumstances. We won’t recommend our most expensive teeth whitening options if we don’t think they suit your situation.
If we believe that you can achieve whiter teeth that meet your expectations simply by having an excellent and thorough dental clean, that will be what we will tell you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Most tooth stains are caused by an external source rather than within the tooth itself.
Much of this is due to your diet and lifestyle habits, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and fizzy drinks; eating foods high in colouring like soups, curries, and pasta sauces; smoking or chewing tobacco; and poor brushing and cleaning techniques.
Often, the external causes of stains can be reduced by coming regularly for checkups and cleans. Drinking water regularly after eating can also help minimise external stains.
Other causes of tooth stains are internal, which means the discolouration comes from inside the tooth, usually during its development and formation or, in some cases, from a tooth with an unhealthy nerve.
WHAT TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS DO WE OFFER?
To whiten your teeth, you should seek a qualified dental professional and not rely on whitening products from the supermarket, pharmacy or internet.
We offer three main teeth whitening options:
Teeth Whitening Pen (Teeth Whitening at Home)
- This entry-level teeth whitening experience is easy and simple to use. You rub the pen on the teeth you want to whiten once or twice daily.
- Each pen has 60+ applications, so that you can use it twice daily for 30 days!
- Who is it for?
- This is a great entry-level product for patients who want something easy and affordable.
- Patients who want just a light enhancement to their teeth
- Patients who buy teeth whitening toothpastes (they don’t work) – please save your money and buy this instead
Take Home Professional Whitening Kits (Teeth Whitening at Home)
- We take moulds of your teeth and fabricate customised upper and lower whitening trays for you (they look like thin mouth guards)
- Follow the kit’s instructions at home to apply the whitening gel on the tray and wear the trays for 30-60 minutes per day for 1-2 weeks, according to your needs.
- Who is it for?
- Patients who want whiter teeth with a product that works!
- Patients who want long-lasting results
In Chair Whitening
- We believe in providing the best results. The best results for Teeth Whitening come from having an in-Chair Whitening Treatment followed by a Take-Home Whitening Kit. All our patients who choose the in-Chair Teeth Whitening option receive a FREE complimentary Take-Home Whitening Kit.
- These appointments usually take 1 to 1.5 hours long at the dental clinic.
- Don’t worry. We’ll turn on Netflix during treatment to keep you entertained!
- We polish the surfaces of your teeth, place a mouth retractor on them, line the gums with a special protective seal, and paint on the whitening gel.
- We repeat the cycle several times, depending on your tolerance and expectations.
- Who is it for?
- Patients who want the best and most complete teeth whitening experience
- Patients who want immediate results
- Patients who want long-lasting results
Results and Maintenance
The results of whitening procedures largely depend on your lifestyle and diet but may last up to 1-2 years.
To maximise teeth whitening treatment, avoid consuming foods and drinks that can discolour your teeth, such as red wine, coloured mouthwash, toothpaste, soft drinks, brightly coloured fruit drinks and cordials, and tobacco products.

Is teeth whitening safe or dangerous?
Teeth whitening is safe when supervised and instructed by a professionally trained dentist who understands your teeth and health.
A question I would ask in return is – “Is a sharp knife safe?” – In the hands of a trained chef, it is. But if you give it to someone who isn’t trained or inexperienced with knives, it can be pretty harmful with teeth whitening. It’s safe in the hands of a professional.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of whitening procedures largely depend on your lifestyle and diet but may last up to 1-2 years.
Lifestyles and diets that cause staining more rapidly include poor oral hygiene habits (brushing/flossing), smoking, lack of drinking water, wine, coffee, tea, cordials, etc.
Can teeth whitening cause sensitive teeth or sensitive gums?
Sensitivity to the gums and teeth can be expected during and even after whitening procedures.
The symptoms generally go away quite quickly or within a few days, and our job as trained professionals is to advise our patients carefully on how to minimise these issues.
