Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure aimed at brightening your smile by removing stains from the tooth enamel. This treatment involves the use of chemical agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which effectively lighten the color of the teeth.
During the teeth whitening procedure, a gel containing a bleaching substance is applied to the teeth, left to act briefly, and then removed again, while the gums are carefully protected.
Key Benefits and Uses of Teeth Whitening
Whitens teeth in a targeted manner, enhancing their appearance for a brighter smile
Relatively simple and painless treatment process
Useful for naturally darker teeth
Effective in treating discoloration caused by food, drinks, or habits such as smoking
In-Office teeth whitening
The clinic team performs in-office whitening right at the practice by applying a gel to the teeth and using a specialized light source to accelerate the process. The treatment usually lasts around 90 minutes.
At-Home teeth whitening
Home bleaching is carried out at home. The patient receives a fitted splint from his dentist into which the gel is filled. The patient then wears the splint for several hours a day.
Teeth whitening treatment steps
Certain groups of people and dental conditions necessitate special caution and attention. It is crucial to receive personalized advice and undergo suitability testing by a dentist to accurately evaluate these factors. For instance, if you have sensitive teeth with exposed roots, visible dental work, or extensive fillings, you may not be a good candidate for whitening. Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 18, pregnant women, or breastfeeding patients. We would be pleased to provide you with advice on this matter!
Before Treatment
Zunächst berät der Zahnarzt den Patienten über die Behandlung und informiert ihn über mögliche Risiken und Nebenwirkungen, wobei die medizinische Vorgeschichte des Patienten berücksichtigt und die Zähne sowie das Zahnfleisch untersucht werden. Falls nötig, wird eine professionelle Zahnreinigung durchgeführt.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
If the option of in-office teeth whitening was selected by the patient together with the doctor, then the dentist applies the whitening gel to the teeth and a special gum protector. The gel is activated with a special light source. This usually takes around 30' per jaw.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
If the option of at-home teeth whitening was selected by the patient together with the doctor, then the dentist does a scan or takes an impression to order a customized splint from a dental lab. At home, the patient applies a modest quantity of bleaching gel into the splint, which is then worn for several hours a day for one to two weeks. During this time, the gel will efficiently whiten the exterior of the teeth.
After Treatment
After the procedure, the teeth should be cared for particularly carefully. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. Patients should avoid smoking, or drinking coffee, tea, or red wine after treatment, to protect the teeth from further discoloration.
