Teeth before and after bleaching in direct comparison

Strikingly white teeth thanks to bleaching

Whether a single tooth or the complete row of teeth: with bleaching supervised by a dentist, discolouration can be lightened noticeably - in a controlled and measured way and without placing unnecessary strain on the tooth structure.

Every lightening treatment begins with professional tooth cleaning so that the bleaching agent can take effect evenly.

Why teeth become darker

Signs of ageing, medication, tobacco and coffee discolour the teeth. Simply brushing the teeth - even with special toothpastes - can only lighten them to a limited extent. We show you all the options: from simple lightening with a gel to thermocatalytic bleaching with additional heat.

Which method is used in a particular case depends on the individual starting situation. Should the teeth darken again after some time, the procedure can be repeated. We advise you in detail in order to achieve a result that suits your face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do teeth become darker over time?
Through ageing processes within the tooth and through colouring substances from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. Certain medicines can also discolour teeth.
Does a whitening toothpaste help?
Only to a limited extent. Such pastes remove surface deposits but hardly lighten the tooth itself. A visible lightening requires whitening supervised by a dentist.
How does whitening at the dentist work?
First we clean the teeth professionally. The whitening agent is then applied in a controlled way – depending on the method as a gel or with additional heat. We monitor the process and agree the result with you.
How long does the result last?
That varies from person to person and depends strongly on eating and smoking habits. If the teeth darken again, the whitening can be repeated.
