A brighter smile in one session, safely and under medical supervision.
Professional teeth whitening lightens the natural color of enamel using clinically tested peroxide-based gels. Unlike over-the-counter products, the procedure is carried out or supervised by a dental professional, with isolation of gums and lips to maximize comfort and minimize side effects.
Whitening is suited to patients with healthy teeth and gums who are unhappy with the color of their smile, especially when it has darkened due to age, coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers or fillings, so we always assess the smile globally before treatment.
We offer two main options. In-office whitening lightens the smile in a single one-hour session at the clinic. The guided home protocol uses custom-made trays you wear at home for one to two weeks, with milder gels and very gradual results. The two approaches can also be combined for maximum effect.
Results typically last from one to three years, depending on lifestyle. Mild and temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect and tends to disappear within a few days. We use modern gels with desensitizing agents to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Professional whitening at the recommended concentrations does not damage enamel. We always evaluate teeth and gums before treatment to confirm you are a suitable candidate.
On average teeth lighten by several shades. The final result depends on the starting color, dentine thickness and the protocol chosen.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity during or shortly after the procedure. Modern gels with desensitizers significantly reduce this effect.
Typically one to three years. Avoiding heavy staining habits and the occasional touch-up at home help to preserve the result.
