Teeth Whitening

An instantly brighter smile

Teeth whitening procedures help restore the natural brilliance of your smile. At our clinic, we offer two effective whitening methods: photo-whitening and Fläsh Whitening, both performed under the supervision of skilled specialists to ensure the best possible results. Additionally, we provide at-home whitening kits that are safe, effective, and convenient.

Why Choose Dental Art?

Our clinic is staffed with highly qualified and experienced specialists who use state-of-the-art techniques and materials to deliver top-quality aesthetic dental services and results. A Dental Art specialist will recommend the safest and most effective whitening method to help you achieve your desired aesthetic outcome.

What to Know Before the Procedure

  • Start with a consultation with a specialist to ensure your teeth are healthy and suitable for whitening.
  • The specialist will discuss your ideal whitening outcome and suggest the best method. Keep in mind that fillings and crowns do not respond to whitening treatments, so they will not change color during the procedure.
  • Before whitening, a visit to a dental hygienist is mandatory to remove plaque and tartar, as these can cause uneven whitening.
  • Use toothpaste and mouthwash for sensitive teeth before the procedure to minimize discomfort.

Note: Whitening is not recommended for individuals under 18, pregnant women, nursing mothers, or those with severe gum diseases or dental erosion.

In-Clinic Whitening Procedure

  • Before starting, the specialist will ensure your comfort. Gums are isolated to prevent contact with the whitening gel, which is then applied and activated with a special light.
  • Depending on the shade of your enamel and desired results, this process may be repeated several times during the visit.
  • At the end of the session, your teeth will be treated to reduce sensitivity and enhance shine.

At-Home Whitening

  • The specialist will take impressions of your teeth to create customized whitening trays. Once ready, the dentist will provide detailed instructions on applying the whitening gel to the trays and how to wear them.
  • You can perform the procedure at home by wearing the trays overnight or for a few hours during the day over 2–3 weeks, following the dentist’s recommendations.

Types of teeth whitening at Dental Art

We are pleased to offer a range of teeth whitening options at Dental Art. If you would like to discuss your suitability for whitening treatment, and which type would be best for you, please get in touch.

Gentle photobleaching

Photobleaching is a great starting point, recommended for patients who are considering teeth whitening for the first time. This system is also an excellent option for patients with sensitive teeth. It can whiten teeth by several shades to give a visibly improved result.

Flӓsh system

Flӓsh whitening can lighten your teeth by 6-7 shades, giving you the whiter smile you’ve been dreaming of. It offers more intensive whitening options, and you can see results in as little as one hour. The Flӓsh system uses blue light-activated whitening for uniform and long-lasting results.

Whitening at home

Whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home with custom teeth whitening trays and specialised gel. Home whitening treatment fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, as you can wear the trays overnight, or for a few hours during the day, as fits your daily routines. It gives you the chance to take control of your teeth whitening, with excellent results in as little as two weeks. Home whitening trays can also be used regularly to keep your smile white and shiny!

Recommendations and Aftercare

After completing the whitening procedure, your dentist will ensure you are satisfied with your new, brighter smile. You will receive necessary advice and tips on how to maintain your white smile long-term, including recommendations for the regular use of whitening trays.

For at least two weeks after the whitening procedure, you should use toothpaste and mouthwash designed for sensitive teeth to strengthen the protective layer of your enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

Additionally, as instructed by your specialist, you will need to follow a “white diet” for 48 hours to a week. After whitening, the enamel becomes more porous and sensitive, making teeth more prone to absorbing pigments from various foods and drinks. The goal of the white diet is to prevent discoloration that could negatively impact the results achieved through whitening.
