Bleaching Berlin: Professional teeth whitening

Teeth whitening

A radiant white smile stands for attractiveness, self-confidence and health. Many people want to whiten their teeth to give their smile a new shine. Discoloration caused by stimulants such as coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco can darken the natural tooth color. With professional bleaching, however, such discoloration can be removed safely and effectively without damaging the tooth enamel. We use the most modern methods of tooth whitening for optimal and long-lasting results.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a professional method of whitening teeth and removing discoloration. Special bleaching agents for teeth are used, which can improve the tooth color by several levels.

In-office whitening is carried out directly in our dental practice and delivers particularly fast results.

The teeth whitening procedure

Professional teeth whitening begins with a comprehensive consultation and examination by our dentists. First, the condition of your teeth and gums is checked so that the bleaching can be carried out safely. We also discuss the initial color of your teeth and your expectations of the whitening result. This is followed by a thorough professional teeth cleaning. This removes any plaque and superficial discoloration so that the bleaching gel can work evenly.

A few days later (the gums may bleed a little after the tooth cleaning), we can apply the bleaching gel. With modern methods such as Zoom whitening, the gel is activated using a special light to effectively whiten the teeth. This process is now repeated in several passes until the desired brightness is achieved. At the end of the treatment, we apply a fluoride gel to protect the teeth and reduce their sensitivity. Of course, you will also receive valuable tips on dental care to maintain the beautiful result for as long as possible.

Advantages of professional teeth whitening at the dentist

N

Teeth whitening at the dentist is more effective and safer (than bleaching at home with over-the-counter products) because with the right technique, teeth can be whitened by several shades. This allows your teeth to shine in a naturally bright white.

With good oral hygiene and regular professional teeth cleaning, your smile will remain fresh and aesthetically pleasing in the long term. It therefore has a more long-term effect than bleaching with over-the-counter products at home.

Tips for care after teeth whitening

Proper care is crucial to keep your teeth bright white for longer, especially if you bleach regularly. In the first 48 hours after treatment, you should definitely avoid strongly staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine or curry, as the teeth are more sensitive to new discoloration during this time. Of course, you should also refrain from smoking.

Regular professional dental cleanings, about twice a year, will definitely help to remove new discoloration and keep the tooth surface clean. You should also pay close attention to thorough oral hygiene: use fluoride toothpaste and soft toothbrushes to protect the enamel. An electric toothbrush can also help to remove plaque more effectively. This way, you can maintain your bright white smile in the long term!

Costs for teeth whitening

In-office whitening, which is carried out directly in the practice, costs around 400 euros. A professional teeth cleaning is required beforehand.

This method is ideal if you want to achieve quick and visible results.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening in Berlin Mitte

FAQ / Frequently asked questions

Can anyone have their teeth whitened?

Not everyone is suitable for teeth whitening. Before we proceed with any whitening treatment, we ensure that your teeth are in good health. For example, if you have cavities, gum issues, or severely worn enamel, we will address these concerns first to ensure that your teeth can handle the whitening process safely. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should avoid teeth whitening, as the effects on the baby have not been sufficiently studied. Prior to any whitening treatment, we always assess your dental health and provide personalized advice.

How does home bleaching differ from in-office bleaching?

There are two main types of tooth whitening: home bleaching and in-office bleaching.

Home Bleaching: With this method, you use over-the-counter whitening products at home. These products typically contain a lower concentration of whitening agents, which means they work more gradually and require several applications over an extended period of time.

In-Office Bleaching: In-office whitening is done directly in our dental practice. This treatment involves the use of stronger bleaching agents, providing faster and more noticeable results in just one session. Our dental team ensures the procedure is performed safely and effectively, giving you beautifully white teeth with optimal results.

Each method has its own advantages, and we’ll help you determine the best option for your needs.

Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?

Temporary sensitivity can occur during or after bleaching, but this is usually harmless for most patients. The sensitivity is caused by the chemical reaction within the tooth, which can temporarily irritate the dental nerve. This discomfort typically subsides within the first 24 hours.

If you have particularly sensitive teeth, it’s important to inform us before the procedure. We can then adjust the treatment to make it more gentle. Additionally, we offer fluoride treatments that can help alleviate sensitivity quickly. Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire whitening process.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

For most patients, teeth whitening is a painless procedure. However, some may experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. This typically lasts no more than 24 to 48 hours and can be managed with desensitizing toothpaste or fluoride treatments. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, we’re happy to provide tips to make the process as comfortable as possible.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on several factors, particularly your oral hygiene and lifestyle choices. With consistent brushing and proper dental care, the effects can last for several years. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as refraining from smoking, will also help maintain the bright results for longer.

Regular dental cleanings are key to prolonging the whitening effects. If you notice the whitening fading over time, refreshment treatments can help restore and maintain the radiant brightness of your smile. We are always happy to advise you on the best timing for a refresher treatment.

Is Teeth Whitening Harmful?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove discoloration and restore your teeth’s natural brightness. When performed correctly, it is generally safe. However, to minimize risks and achieve the best aesthetic results, it is essential that the treatment is carried out by an experienced dentist or a trained professional.

At our dental practice, we use highly effective yet safe whitening products. We take special care to protect the gums and other sensitive tissues during the procedure to avoid any irritation or damage.

While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after the treatment, this usually subsides within 24 hours. We can recommend fluoride gels or special toothpastes to help alleviate this sensitivity.

It’s crucial to approach teeth whitening responsibly. Overuse or improper application can potentially harm tooth enamel. Therefore, whitening should always be done under professional supervision. When following the guidance of your dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to enhance your smile.
