Preparation
During the teeth whitening, special whitening agents are applied to the teeth, which remove discoloration and pigmentation and thus whiten the teeth. The whitening process can be divided into the following steps:
Preparation
Before the whitening begins, we perform a thorough examination of your mouth to ensure there is no gum disease or anything else that could interfere with the whitening.
We discuss what degree of whitening you want and what is possible. We will also agree with you whether a professional teeth cleaning must be carried out in advance.
We also document the current shade of the teeth so that we can later measure the degree of whitening.
Protection
We protect your lips, gums and cheeks with a protective material to prevent the whitening agent to come into contact with sensitive areas of the mouth.
Whitening
We apply a whitening agent to the teeth, which is gentle and does not attack the enamel. We then activate the whitening agent with our modern Philips Zoom whitening lamp. This removes discoloration and pigmentation, which has a brightening effect.
We monitor your teeth throughout the bleaching process so we can adjust the whitening agent if necessary.
Finalization
Once the desired level of lightening is achieved, we remove the whitening agent and the applied protection.
Stabilization
We give you specific advice on aftercare so that the result stabilizes and is maintained over the long term.
FAQ
-
We believe that teeth whitening should be effective, but also gentle on your teeth.
The long-term nature of the whitening effect, but also your dental health, play a decisive role for us.
Since teeth are complex parts of the body, you always have to look at each patient individually. For example, in some cases it makes sense to have your teeth professionally cleaned before the whitening treatment in order to achieve an excellent result.
Unfortunately, it is therefore not possible to make a general statement as to how expensive a complete bleaching is.
Please contact us - we would be happy to advise you.
-
As a rule, the result of professional whitening can last up to two years.
The duration of the effect depends on the whitening method used.
However, the result can also be strongly influenced by yourself, since the effect also depends on daily habits, e.g. the consumption of specific foods or whether or how heavily you smoke.
We give you concrete tips on how you can stabilize the result and influence it positively.
-
When using the whitening agent, we pay attention to compatibility and protection of tooth enamel and teeth. We rely on Philips Zoom technology, whose whitening agent contains amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), which protects tooth enamel.
However, it is important to emphasize that not everyone is suitable for whitening. Before each whitening treatment, we thoroughly examine the teeth and gums.
In the case of patients with sensitive teeth or, for example, inflamed gums, we cannot carry out whitening before the dental health has stabilized.
-
Whitening and professional teeth cleaning are two different procedures that have different purposes.
A professional teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove bacteria that otherwise have a negative effect on the organism.
This results in a brightening effect, which is more of a positive side effect.
The whitening effect is not as strong and long-lasting as with professional whitening.
However, regular professional teeth cleaning helps to maintain the whitening effects in the long term.
-
There are forms of whitening (home whitening) in which teeth can be whitened at home with so-called whitening splints.
We do not recommend this method as there is a higher risk of damage to the teeth and gums with home whitening. If the trays are not properly adjusted or if the whitening solution is left on the teeth for too long, it will damage the teeth and the enamel.
In addition, it is more difficult to achieve an even whitening of the teeth with home whitening because the trays do not fit as tightly as with professional whitening in the dentist's office.
Also, home whitening is typically less effective than professional in-office whitening at a dentist's office because the whitening solution contains a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
-
Although whitening toothpastes can remove surface stains, they contain abrasive ingredients that damage tooth enamel over time.
Damage to this protective layer can have long-term consequences, such as increased tooth sensitivity and a higher risk of tooth decay.
It is therefore advisable to resort to professional methods of teeth whitening.
-
A whitening treatment usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
It is possible that a professional tooth cleaning must be carried out in advance. This takes about 1 hour.
-
Too frequent bleaching can weaken the tooth enamel, so you should not usually whiten your teeth more than once a year.
Basically, before each whitening treatment, we carry out a thorough examination to check whether whitening is possible.
