Bleaching / Teeth whitening

Bleaching and teeth whitening for a better feeling of well-being

Bright teeth give you positive radiance and boost your own self-confidence. However, most people have very bright teeth by nature. To make matters worse, colourants found in food discolour and darken the tooth substance over a longer period of time. While you can effectively remove superficial discolouration with a professional teeth cleaning, teeth whitening combats dyes that have penetrated deeper into the tooth substance. With bleaching, we usually lighten the tooth colour by several levels.

An important prerequisite for teeth whitening is professional oral hygiene. In our practice, we recommend “home bleaching”, in which we use a custom-made bleaching tray on you. The whitening tray offers you the possibility to carry out the whitening on your own responsibility as often, as long and as intensively as you like. Of course, we are at your side to regularly check the progress and success of the whitening. Since you can use the bleaching tray several times, it is up to you to decide when and how often you want to whiten your teeth. If you use the bleaching tray more than once, you only pay the costs for new bleaching gel.

How long does the whitening effect last?

The effect of a tooth whitening is limited to a manageable period of time. The duration of the bleaching depends on factors such as individual dental care or personal eating habits. Experience shows that the brighter tooth colour lasts for one to two years. If desired, our patients are free to repeat the whitening procedure at any time.

Does teeth whitening work for everyone?

Would you like to have your teeth whitened? Then you are in good hands with us. We can look back on years of experience in bleaching from which you can benefit. Tooth whitening generally works for all our patients. However, the effect of bleaching on congenitally dark teeth occurs somewhat later. You should also bear in mind that the whitening effect only works on your own teeth. Bleaching of crowns, bridges or fillings, on the other hand, does not work. Whitening is most effective on healthy teeth. Do you need more information about bleaching and tooth whitening? Then we are the right contact for you.
