In the quest for a radiant smile, professional teeth whitening has become a go-to solution for many. Nestled in the heart of Orakei Bay Village, Auckland, Polish + White is at the forefront of offering this sought-after service with a unique twist. My commitment extends beyond just brightening smiles; I prioritise creating a pain & sensitivity-free experience for my clients. 

This blog post is designed to demystify the intricacies of professional teeth whitening, providing a clear understanding of what sets our sensitivity-free approach apart. Join us as we explore the effectiveness of our specialised Pap+ formula and what makes our process distinctively gentle yet transformative.


The Traditional Teeth Whitening Experience

Traditionally, professional teeth whitening involves the use of high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. While effective in lightening the enamel and breaking down stains, this method often leads to undesirable side effects like tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, and even burns. 

The process involves chemical bleaching agents penetrating the enamel to break down stains into smaller molecules, lightening the overall colour of the teeth. However, the oxidizing action of agents like hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide can release free radicals, contributing to these discomforts.


Introducing Pap+: A Revolutionary Formula by Polish + White

At Polish + White, we've redefined the teeth whitening experience with Pap+ formula, designed for professional teeth whitening without sensitivity. This new formulation is exclusively available to dental professionals and is specifically designed to address the pitfalls of traditional whitening methods. Here’s what makes Pap+ stand out:

  • Zero/Minimum Sensitivity: Our Pap+ formula ensures minimal to no sensitivity, offering a comfortable teeth whitening experience by a dental hygienist.

  • No Tooth Dehydration or Mineral Loss: Unlike traditional methods, Pap+ safeguards against tooth dehydration and mineral loss, maintaining the integrity of your teeth.

  • Stable, Natural Shade of White: Achieve a stable, natural white shade without the rebound effect common in other treatments.


The Breakdown of Pap+ Ingredients

  1. Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid (PAP): An effective bleaching agent that whitens teeth without the harsh effects of peroxide.

  2. Potassium Citrate: A desensitizing agent that soothes and protects the nerves in your teeth during the whitening process.

  3. Hydroxyapatite: Contributes to cavity prevention and repairs the tooth surface.


What to Expect During Your Visit

When you book a professional whitening session at Polish + White, you'll be welcomed into a serene, spa-like setting, where a registered dental hygienist will provide expert care. We've meticulously crafted the experience to be both soothing and efficient, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure: 

  1. Initial Preparation: Includes shade matching and a light polish for optimal treatment readiness. We apply Vitamin E oil to your gums for added protection and comfort.

  2. The Whitening Process: A layer of our Pap+ formula is applied to your teeth and left for 15 minutes. This gentle yet effective formula requires no gum barrier. Our VIO405 purple light is used to gently accelerate the whitening process, enhancing the effectiveness of the Pap+ formula.

  3. Repetition for Maximum Effectiveness: The application process is repeated up to three or more times. This ensures an optimal whitening effect.

  4. Post-Treatment Evaluation: Recording of the shade post-treatment and scheduling follow-ups if necessary.


Post-Treatment Care and Tips

Post-treatment care is crucial for maintaining the results of your whitening session. We'll provide you with tailored advice to ensure your smile stays bright and healthy.

Conclusion: A Brighter Smile, the Comfortable Way

At Polish + White, our mission is to deliver a whiter, brighter smile without the discomfort typically associated with teeth whitening. With our Pap+ formula, you can enjoy a safe, sensitivity-free, and pain-free whitening experience that leaves you with a radiant smile.
