About this treatment

Teeth whitening is a treatment that helps to reduce discoloration and stains on the teeth and create a brighter smile. It is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile without compromising the health of your teeth. Many people choose this treatment to increase their self-confidence and look fresher. The treatment can be performed in-office or at home, depending on preference and situation. Here is an overview of how the treatment works:

Additional information about teeth whitening

  • During an initial appointment, the dentist will assess your teeth to determine whether teeth whitening is suitable for you. We will also discuss your wishes and expectations.
  • We make an impression or scan of your teeth so that the technician can make special custom bleaching trays. This ensures a better fit and more effective bleaching.
  • You will receive these whitening trays in a kit with whitening gel. The gel usually contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the active ingredient.
  • At home, you apply the whitening gel to the inside of the trays and place them on your teeth. The manufacturer's or dentist's instructions will tell you how long and when to wear the trays.

 

Home whitening can take several days to weeks depending on the level of whitening desired and the product instructions.
