Teeth Whitening

What to expect

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment aimed at brightening the shade of teeth and giving the smile a fresher, brighter look. The treatment is carried out using specialized materials that act on the tooth's surface layer, tailored to dental condition and individual sensitivity. Whitening can be done in the clinic or at home using custom-fitted trays, depending on preference and treatment planning.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment suits patients who want to improve their tooth shade in cases of darkening, staining, or discoloration. Suitability for treatment is determined after a professional exam, to ensure the teeth and gums are in suitable condition for whitening.

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with an exam and assessment of the condition of the teeth and gums, and sometimes preliminary cleaning to remove tartar and plaque. Based on the findings, the appropriate whitening method is chosen, in-office, at-home, or combined. In-office whitening uses higher-concentration materials, enhanced by laser or a whitening lamp, under professional supervision, to achieve a relatively fast change in shade. In at-home whitening, custom trays are fitted, in which whitening material is placed for self-use according to instructions. Throughout the process, monitoring and adjustment take place as needed, depending on response and sensitivity.
