We’re proud to offer Pola Rapid and Pola Light, two advanced whitening systems designed to fit your lifestyle. Whether you want fast, in-office results or the convenience of at-home whitening, both options deliver safe, comfortable, and effective results under the guidance of our caring dental team.

Why Teeth Become Discolored

Even with good oral care, teeth naturally stain over time. Common causes include:

  • Coffee, tea, or dark sodas
  • Red wine
  • Tomato-based sauces
  • Dark berries
  • Tobacco use and smoking
  • Certain medications
  • Everyday wear on enamel

That’s why many patients choose professional whitening to restore brightness and confidence.

Teeth Whitening Options Explained

There are several ways to whiten teeth, but not all are equally effective:

  • Whitening toothpaste offers only subtle improvement.
  • Whitening strips or gels can brighten teeth but require repeated use and may increase sensitivity.
  • Professional whitening delivers safe, consistent results under the guidance of a dentist.

If you want reliable results quickly, professional whitening is the best choice.

Pola Rapid & Pola Light – Advanced Teeth Whitening Solutions

We’re excited to offer Pola Rapid and Pola Light, two advanced whitening systems designed to fit your lifestyle.

Pola Rapid – In-Office Whitening in Just One Hour

Pola Rapid is an advanced in-office whitening system that brightens your smile in a single 60-minute visit, without the need for a whitening light. Its unique formula and delivery system make it one of the fastest, most comfortable whitening options available today.

Why patients love Pola Rapid:

  • Fast results in about one hour
  • No light or heat required, reducing sensitivity
  • High-strength 37.5–38% hydrogen peroxide formula for powerful whitening
  • Includes fluoride and potassium nitrate to protect enamel
  • Dentist-applied for maximum safety and effectiveness

Enhanced Technology for Better Comfort & Results:

  • Superior handling & easy removal: higher viscosity gel stays in place and removes quickly thanks to non-stick properties.
  • Minimal chair time with immediate results: the 38% hydrogen peroxide formula releases active ingredients right away, whitening teeth in as little as 24 minutes, no pre-desensitizer step required.
  • Simple delivery: dual-barrel syringe automatically mixes the gel during application for consistent results.
  • Precision application: supplied brush tip and enhanced blue gel make placement fast, smooth, and easy to see.
  • Built-in desensitizers: potassium nitrate and high water content reduce discomfort, with clinical evaluations showing 100% of patients reported no sensitivity after treatment.

Pola Rapid is ideal if you want immediate, safe, and comfortable whitening, perfect before a wedding, job interview, vacation, or special event.

Pola Light – Take-Home Whitening with LED Tray

Pola Light is an advanced take-home whitening system that combines Pola’s award-winning gel formula with an LED mouthpiece for faster, more comfortable results. With daily treatments, you can achieve a noticeably brighter smile in as little as five days, all from the comfort of home.

Why patients love Pola Light:

  • Convenient 10–15 minute treatments, once or twice a day
  • Brighter smile in just 5 days
  • No dental chair time or custom trays required
  • Portable, cordless, and fully rechargeable LED mouthpiece
  • Professional-grade whitening gels available in 6% or 9.5% hydrogen peroxide
  • Built-in soothers and high water content to reduce sensitivity

What’s included in your Pola Light kit:

  • 1 Pola LED mouthpiece (portable & rechargeable)
  • Professional whitening gels (6% or 9.5% hydrogen peroxide)
  • Pola Luminate touch-up gel (included in the 6% kit)
  • USB charging cord
  • Easy-to-follow instruction guide

How it works:

  • Apply the gel as instructed by your dentist.
  • Wear the LED mouthpiece for 10–15 minutes, once or twice daily.
  • Repeat for 5 days to achieve your whitest natural shade.

Gentle, safe, and effective:

Pola Light is formulated with a neutral pH and a unique blend of conditioners, fluoride, and high water content to minimize sensitivity. It not only whitens teeth but also helps strengthen and rehydrate enamel.

Pola Light is a great choice if you want to whiten your smile on your own schedule or keep your results fresh after an in-office Pola Rapid treatment.

Benefits of Professional Whitening

Choosing professional whitening means:

  • Fast and noticeable results
  • Supervised for safety and effectiveness
  • Reduced sensitivity compared to drugstore products
  • Flexible choices: one-hour in-office or at-home convenience
  • Boosted self-esteem with a radiant smile

With regular care and healthy habits, your whitening results can last 6–12 months or more.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may benefit from whitening if you:

Frequently Asked Questions

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Both Pola Rapid and Pola Light are designed with desensitizing ingredients to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience little to no sensitivity.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on your diet and habits. Avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco helps extend results.

Can anyone get whitening?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are candidates. Whitening won’t change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings.
