Question 1

Does bleaching damage my tooth enamel?

Accepted Answer

No, professional bleaching does not damage tooth enamel when correctly applied. The bleaching gel penetrates the color pigments and breaks them down without attacking the tooth substance. After treatment, the enamel surface remineralizes completely.

Question 2

Is teeth whitening painful?

Accepted Answer

Professional bleaching is generally painless. Temporary sensitivity to cold or heat may occur in the first one to three days but usually subsides quickly. For sensitive teeth, we offer gentler alternatives such as home bleaching.

Question 3

How long does the teeth whitening result last?

Accepted Answer

The whitened tooth color typically remains visible for one to three years. The exact duration depends on your individual circumstances and dietary habits. Good oral hygiene and avoiding heavily staining foods can extend the results.

Question 4

Can I whiten my teeth at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, home bleaching with individually made trays is a gentle alternative. You apply the lower-dosed whitening gel at home over several days. However, over-the-counter products without dental supervision can be problematic and should be avoided.

Question 5

Who is suitable for bleaching?

Accepted Answer

Basically, bleaching is suitable for all patients with healthy teeth and healthy gums. A dental examination before treatment is important to rule out cavities or gum problems. Healthy teeth and good dental health form the basis for any successful whitening.
