Linda Greenwall discusses Pola Light, SDI’s advanced, fast-acting whitening system combining LED technology and proven gels for safe, professional results.
In a highly competitive whitening market, a special product must stand out. SDI has been at the forefront of advanced professional tooth whitening for over 20 years. SDI Pola offers a solution for every patient, whether they prefer to be treated at the practice, at home, or on the go.
SDI has an excellent reputation for its whitening gels, which deliver whitening in a simple, easy and efficient way. Unsurprisingly, SDI is now leading the way in advanced take-home whitening with Pola Light, a fast-acting formula in a portable mouthpiece using LED light technology. Pola Light is ideal for patients who have already whitened their teeth and want to improve their whitening quickly. It can also be used as a starter kit for patients who have never done whitening in trays before.
It is very easy to use, especially when applying the whitening gel, which has been developed to flow nicely from the syringe rather than a pen while being thick enough so it doesn’t ooze out of the trays.
A thin 2mm line of gel in the tray is all required.
Tackling sensitivity
Sensitivity and gum irritation are known problems with some whitening treatments. Sensitivity can occur around the gums when the tray is over-contoured or pushed onto the gingiva, causing gingival irritation.
The tray doesn’t extend to that level with Pola Light, so this isn’t an issue. Sensitivity is further reduced because the gel’s short wear time is just two 10–or 15-minute daily treatments.
For added protection against sensitivity, SDI Pola Soothe contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, which blocks the tubules to soothe and protect the teeth.
It can be used in the whitening trays 30 minutes before, after or instead of whitening and does not interfere with the whitening process in any way.
Fast results
Visible whitening results with Pola Light can be achieved in as little as five days because the product is manufactured to dissociate quickly but is thick enough to stay where needed.
Pola Day gel contains 6% hydrogen peroxide, breaking into water and oxygen. Oxygen is the active ingredient penetrating the enamel into the dentine within five to ten minutes.
As it disperses, the oxygen cleanses the pigment molecules, turning the pigment from yellow to white, starting from the incisal tip. With Pola Light, no impressions or custom-made trays are required.
Everything a patient needs is in the box, including a portable, fully charged, and rechargeable LED mouthpiece, 12 days of treatment gels, a USB charger, instructions, and a shade guide so they can start whitening immediately.
The tray is one size fits all and slightly wider than other trays. It is still comfortable and easy to use, allowing the best contact between the teeth and whitening gel. Future top-up gels are also available upon the advice of a dentist.
Safety first
Of course, a dental professional must assess any patient considering professional whitening to ensure they are suitable candidates.
Dentists have a duty and obligation to check the mouth and look for things like hidden abscesses, dark teeth which have become non-vital, leaking fillings, and any decay or further diseases in the mouth. The efficacy and safety of the whitening products themselves are also extremely important.
At my practice, we recommend Pola Light for the light and the well-known reputation of the Pola Day and Pola Night whitening gels.
Both have over 20 years of proven research and development (many papers are available on PubMed), which shows that they are effective and safe, delivering whitening in a simple and manageable way.
The original and the best
SDI provides second-to-none service and support. Their excellent team is very helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and ready to help at any time.
Whitening has become exponential. It is a huge part of my practice, and we see many patients who simply want to achieve beautiful smiles. Pola Light brings something different to the whitening market. It allows our patients to experience professional whitening at their convenience and at a more affordable cost, delivering whiter teeth in as little as five days.
Portable, rechargeable, and easy to wear, with no cord attached to the LED mouthpiece, Pola Light‘s innovative blend of soothers, conditioners, and high water content assists in reducing sensitivity. Thus, it’s ideal for whitening teeth quickly and safely at home and for future top-up treatments.
