Teeth whitening always begins with a check-up by the dentist. During this appointment, it is assessed whether your teeth are suitable for the treatment, and we discuss your wishes and the expected result.
Next, there are two ways to whiten your teeth:
For at-home whitening, custom-made whitening trays are created based on an impression or scan of your teeth. These trays ensure that the whitening gel is distributed evenly across the teeth for optimal results.
You will receive the trays along with a special whitening gel. This gel contains active ingredients that break down discoloration in the tooth enamel. You apply the gel to the trays yourself and wear them daily as advised by the dentist. Depending on the desired color, the result can be visible within a few days to weeks.
Upon appearance in the practice A stronger bleaching gel is used, which is applied under controlled conditions. As a result, the outcome may be visible sooner. The dentist ensures that the gums are well protected and that the treatment is performed safely.
After whitening, your teeth are visibly whiter and your smile takes on a fresh, well-groomed appearance. How white your teeth become varies from person to person and depends on the original color and the type of discoloration. In many cases, the result is visible within just a few days.
With good oral hygiene and limiting discoloring foods, such as coffee and red wine, the result is maintained for a long time.
