The technique is based on “cold” whitening
Most teeth whitening methods are based on the use of a special composition with hydrogen peroxide, which is first applied to the patient's enamel and activated under the influence of heat, light or a chemical activator. As a result, active oxygen molecules begin to be released from the gel, they penetrate the enamel-dentin layer and oxidize the color pigment that caused the darkening or yellowing of the enamel.
What is the Beyond polus teeth whitening technique?
American corporation Beyond International Inc. declares that it has created a fundamentally new approach in this regard. Activation of the gel components in this case takes place under the influence of an LED lamp and halogen light. But unlike well-known photo-whitening techniques, such as ZOOM, overheating of the enamel-dentin layer of the tooth does not occur here. The lamp produces not warm, but cold light of the blue spectrum; when it hits the teeth, it additionally passes through 12 levels of protection and through special lenses that block harmful infrared radiation and protect you from ultraviolet radiation.
Beyond Polus is an advanced professional whitening complex, which includes specialized equipment (a unit with a lamp and a touch control panel) and a whitening gel based on 35% hydrogen peroxide. In addition, before applying to the enamel, the gel itself is mixed with a composition specially developed by the manufacturer, which helps neutralize the harm from peroxide, strengthens the enamel, has a remineralizing effect, and helps reduce discomfort for patients with the most sensitive teeth.
The teeth whitening procedure using the Beyond Polus technology can only be done in a dental office where such equipment is installed, but you can use Beyond brand products that do not involve the use of a stationary lamp at home, but look for information about this below.
Differences from the Zoom system
Restoring teeth whiteness using the Zoom system follows exactly the same principle. But Zoom lamps emit heat along with the light. Due to excessive heat, dental tissues are injured, and painful sensations often appear during whitening. In some patients, increased sensitivity of the enamel makes itself felt after the procedure - in the first five days or week.
Benefits of Beyond technology:
- zero ultraviolet radiation (the light coming out of the Beyond lamp is filtered by two optical lenses, while Zoom systems transmit ultraviolet);
- speed of the procedure (cold light whitening is completed in 30 minutes, and Zoom - an hour);
- minimal discomfort during whitening (unpleasant sensations from the Beyond accelerator are rare, but the process of using Zoom lamps is accompanied by pain for many).
It can be fairly concluded that the Beyond laser whitening system is the safest and most painless to date. It is inferior to Zoom technology only in one thing - the durability of the result.
The procedure has a gentle effect on tooth enamel
Teeth whitening using the Beyond Polus system is a solution for people even with the most sensitive and thin enamel. For example, the procedure can be performed even on teeth affected by fluorosis or in patients who have been taking tetracycline medications for a long time, which has affected the health and condition of the enamel. The fact is that the “Beyond Pole” device itself has several operating modes and the doctor can, depending on the clinical picture, adjust the light intensity on it:
- Gentle: an option for those whose enamel integrity is compromised. For example, there are cracks, defects, and chips on it. This mode will also suit you if your teeth are very sensitive and react to temperature changes in everyday life,
- Normal: suitable for patients with healthy enamel of a yellow or other pigmented shade resulting from drinking drinks and food, smoking,
- Intense: suitable for people who have a pronounced change in the shade of the enamel resulting from taking tetracycline drugs, as a result of age-related changes and fluorosis. It is also recommended for those who want to significantly transform their smile to achieve Hollywood white enamel (but only if the teeth are healthy and the enamel is not thin).
The effect of the cold color that a specialized lamp produces is gentle and safe.
Plus, the effect of the cold color that a specialized lamp produces is in itself more gentle and safe than the thermal effect. As a result, the patient’s teeth and soft mucosal tissues are protected from damage, overheating, and increased sensitivity after the procedure.
Contraindications to Beyond whitening
Beyond whitening has a minimum of contraindications compared to other methods of enamel lightening. The procedure is not carried out in the following cases:
- age under 18 years;
- pregnancy;
- allergy to the components of the lightening gel;
- diabetes;
- carious lesions of teeth (lightening can be done after successful treatment);
- pathological abrasion of teeth.
It is also worth noting that teeth under artificial crowns and veneers cannot be lightened. The dentures must be removed before the procedure.
Quick results: up to 8 tones in 30 minutes
The maximum effect that can be achieved with Beyond teeth whitening, as the manufacturer assures, is 8 tones. To achieve it, the patient must undergo 3 identical enamel lightening sessions in one visit to the dentist, each of which takes 10 minutes (i.e., the composition is applied to the enamel three times in a row, after which the doctor turns on the lamp, then removes the excess with a saliva ejector. Then This procedure is repeated twice more). The result is a snow-white smile in just half an hour.
The photo shows teeth before and after whitening
But do not forget that before a teeth whitening procedure, even such a relatively gentle one as Beyond, you must prepare: undergo professional oral hygiene, remove plaque and deposits, cure diseased teeth, strengthen the enamel with vitamins from the inside and pastes from the outside. Only then will the result really please you.
It will also be pleasant for the patient that the Beyond Polus system implies an innovative approach in everything. For example, the device that produces cold light is equipped with a special timer and even a control panel, which the doctor hands over to the patient - now you don’t need to worry about how long you have to wait, the countdown will help you track the procedure and not worry. And the control panel will help you signal the doctor and invite him to come to you even if he leaves the office. You can also turn off the light yourself if you experience severe discomfort and pain without the presence of a dentist.
Stages of the procedure
The procedure itself is carried out in one visit for half an hour. If plaque, stones on the teeth, or inflammatory processes in the oral cavity are detected, preparatory measures are carried out first
Preparation
Whitening is preceded by a preparatory stage, which is aimed at eliminating obstacles to the procedure and ensuring the proper result. Mandatory includes an examination of the oral cavity and diagnostics. If necessary, the following is prescribed:
- professional teeth cleaning from soft and hard plaque
- treatment of dental diseases
- remineralization of enamel to strengthen it
3-7 days before whitening, it is recommended to brush your teeth only with white toothpaste, and also to exclude from your diet foods that can stain the enamel (coffee, wine, carbonated drinks, ketchup, carrots, beets, chocolate).
How is whitening performed?
- Preparation The patient's eyes are protected with special glasses. A retractor is fixed in the mouth. The lips are lubricated with cream, and a liquid rubber dam is applied to the gums to protect the mucous membrane from the chemical components of the drug.
- Whitening Teeth are coated with 35% hydrogen peroxide gel with protective components. The composition is illuminated with a Beyond Polus lamp for 10 minutes. The stage is repeated 3 times; before each application of the gel, the previous layer is removed.
- Strengthening enamel A remineralizing agent containing calcium, phosphorus and other components is applied to the teeth. Prevents enamel fragility, helps strengthen it, protects teeth from sensitivity.
Saving the result is easy if you follow the standard rules
The creators of the technology are not original in this matter. They emphasize that the result can last up to 1 year or more only if you take good care of your condition and appearance. Immediately after bleaching, you should also adhere to a white diet (at least 24 hours, but preferably at least a couple of weeks), avoid drinking coffee and red wine, soda, fruit drinks, berries, and sauces. No smoking. Also, to maintain good results, you need to undergo professional oral hygiene several times a year.
Following a “white” diet will help maintain the whitening results longer.
How to prolong the whitening effect
On average, after bleaching Beyond Polus, enamel remains white for one year. However, this indicator depends on subsequent oral care and compliance with specialist recommendations:
- during the first 3-4 hours after the session you cannot eat;
- It is advisable not to smoke for a day;
- women should refrain from applying bright lipstick to their lips for three days;
- for two weeks, exclude foods that can stain the enamel - chocolate, coffee, wine, beets, carrots, carbonated drinks;
- Brush your teeth regularly - at least twice a day with a special toothpaste prescribed by your doctor.
The e-Bright system specially developed by Beyond for home use allows you to significantly extend the whitening effect. It complements the desk procedure and is aimed at consolidating the results obtained. The set includes a gel and a dental guard with built-in LED lights. The home course should begin 2-3 weeks after the clinical course. The idea is to apply the drug to the teeth and wear the mouth guard for 20 minutes. Performed once a day for 8-10 days.

whitening
- According to the official website of the manufacturer europe.beyonddent.com
The essence of the method
The peculiarity of the method is the cold effect on the teeth. The change in shade occurs through the contact effect on the enamel of a special composition that has a gel consistency.
It is based on hydrogen peroxide. The mass begins to activate under the influence of high-frequency light waves produced by the accelerator.
The device produces blue light fluxes with a length of up to 520 nm. They are passed through multilayer filters and powerful optics, which maximizes the effect of the composition. It quickly penetrates dentin and performs its function efficiently.

Teeth whitening is a dream for me because I have problematic enamel. It turns out that this method is perfect for those who have weak enamel specifically for whitening, or can it also treat all this tooth sensitivity due to poor enamel?

- Before you start teeth whitening, it is better for you to undergo enamel strengthening procedures so as not to cause harm.

Does it make sense, in principle, to do teeth whitening if we have yellow teeth that are transmitted by genes, roughly speaking. Everyone has yellow teeth. If bleaching nature doesn't take over? I don't want to waste my money.

Teeth whitening using this technology is probably really worth the money. At what age can you do it? My son is 15 years old, is it too early for such a procedure or is it acceptable? The results are pleasing)

Or maybe there is a proven way to do effective teeth whitening at home?

Or maybe there is a proven way to do effective teeth whitening at home? My gums are sensitive and bleed constantly, and the doctor refused to do any cleaning at the clinic.

Alternative whitening systems
Our Center uses another safe teeth lightening technology - Amazing White, also from an American manufacturer. Like Beyond Polus, cold whitening technology is used. But Amazing White uses a gel with a lower concentration of the active substance - 16%. The lightening intensity is correspondingly lower - by 3-6 tones. Since our Center specializes in implantation and surgery, this system is ideal for teeth whitening even in the postoperative period without irritating the mucous membranes. Suitable when you want to get an immediate aesthetic effect soon after surgery.
We do not use the advertised Zoom technology, despite the same effectiveness as Beyond Polus. The system is not safe for tooth enamel. The technology is based on a gel with a peroxide concentration of 25% and a UV lamp with thermal radiation. Overheating of the enamel-dentin layer is possible, which is accompanied by prolonged increased sensitivity of the teeth. In addition, preparation for the procedure requires special scrupulousness in order to protect the mucous membranes from burns and prevent unnecessary tanning around the lips.
Expected Result
Clinics that value their reputation treat the procedure and the materials used with full responsibility, and guarantee a fairly long-term preservation of the results obtained.
With proper care of the teeth and the general condition of the oral cavity, the effect lasts for 3-4 years.
The effectiveness of lightening depends on a number of factors, for example, what caused the change in enamel color. If it is pigmentation, then the effect will be more pronounced than with a congenital color defect.
In this situation, it is unlikely that it will be possible to achieve the most complete whitening. As a rule, this is a change in tone by 3-4 points on the rating scale.
