Teeth whitening in the dental practice

What is in-office teeth whitening?

In-office teeth whitening is carried out using a professional machine (Fläsh Whitening whitening lamp) in our dental surgery, which can be used for external whitening of live teeth or internal whitening of root-treated teeth.

How does in-office whitening work?

The effectiveness of in-office whitening is due to the combination of highly concentrated bleaching agents and special light technology. These higher concentrations of substances release oxygen molecules that penetrate the pores of the tooth enamel, dissolving the stains from the inside. This process significantly reduces or eliminates surface and deeper stains on teeth, so teeth can be several shades whiter in a single visit.

How long does it take to achieve results?

The results of in-office teeth whitening can be achieved quickly and effectively, but the duration of treatment and the extent of the results can vary from individual to individual.
