Reasons for bleaching
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of factors, both external and internal. These discolorations make teeth appear yellowish or brownish, even if they have been thoroughly cleaned. Professional bleaching is an effective way to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth and give you a radiant smile.
Common causes of tooth discoloration
Consumption of colorants
Tobacco, tea, red wine and coffee.
Injuries
Accidents in which teeth are injured can cause color changes. This requires internal bleaching as a treatment.
Nutrition
Malnutrition can make teeth more susceptible to discoloration.
Natural ageing process
With increasing age, teeth can become discolored and lose their brightness.
Bleaching helps to remove these stubborn color pigments and restore the natural whiteness of your teeth without damaging them.
Our three whitening methods
Power bleaching - in-office bleaching
Your teeth are gently whitened in a session lasting approximately 90 minutes. First your lips are held back with a special lip holder, then your gums are protected with a light-curing gel and finally a whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with our special lamp. This process can be repeated up to four times until the natural whitening shade is achieved and your teeth immediately look radiantly white and healthy.
Walking bleaching - Internal bleaching
This method is used after root canal treatment for darkly discolored front teeth. The whitening agent is inserted into the tooth for several days and the tooth is whitened from the inside. This process is repeated until the natural tooth color is achieved.
Home bleaching - your tooth bleaching at home
At the beginning of the treatment, we take an impression of your jaw to make thin, transparent and custom-fit trays. The first bleaching treatment is carried out together with you and you will receive detailed instructions to follow at home. The final result is only visible after a few weeks.
We will be happy to advise you on which bleaching method is best suited to your teeth. The appropriate treatment is recommended after in-office bleaching to ensure that the bleaching result lasts.
