Cosmetic tooth whitening (bleaching)

The natural shade of teeth can vary between people and there may even be differences between your individual teeth. Most of us find lighter shades more attractive and appealing. An intact set of shining teeth also gives an impression of vitality and health. There are many reasons why teeth can become discoloured over the years and when this happens, patients often turn to us for advice. In these cases, professional tooth whitening is the preferred choice. This cosmetic treatment (bleaching) is a simple procedure which does not harm your teeth in any way. It can significantly reduce or even remove the discolouration caused by food, beverages, tobacco, illness or medication.

Requirements

Both teeth and gums must be in a healthy state before tooth whitening can be conducted. Before the bleaching process, the teeth are cleaned professionally and any tartar is removed. Plaque residues would have a negative influence on the whitening result.

Please note!

To prevent any damage to teeth or gums, professional tooth whitening should only be performed by specialist dental staff under medical supervision.

Suitability

If there is any existing damage to or malformation of teeth, it is best not to have bleaching treatment. In these cases, we can recommend our professional tooth cleaning service with EMS (gentle, non-abrasive airflow). This solution can also have a slight brightening effect. We advise against undergoing any cosmetic dental procedures during pregnancy.
