Teeth whitening
A treatment to lighten the shade of your teeth, recommended after assessing the cause of the discoloration and the health of your mouth.
Teeth whitening
When the color of your teeth has changed over time
Teeth can darken for different reasons: food and drinks, certain habits, the passage of time or other factors.
Teeth whitening aims to lighten the shade of your teeth in a controlled, supervised way. Results vary from person to person and depend, among other things, on the origin of the stains; that’s why it’s important to assess your case before starting.
Indications
Who may it be for?
It may be an option, depending on the case, if:
- You notice your teeth have darkened or yellowed.
- You want to lighten their shade before other cosmetic treatments.
- Your teeth and gums are healthy or can be treated first.
- You’re looking for a subtle, natural change in the color of your smile.
Every case is different: only after a consultation can we know whether this treatment is right for you.
Our approach
How we approach it
First, we check your teeth and gums and try to identify the cause of the discoloration. Some stains respond well to whitening, while others may require different options. With that information, we explain what is reasonable to expect in your case.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does whitening work the same for everyone?
No. The result depends on the type of stain, the starting shade and other individual factors. Some types of discoloration respond better than others.
Can I choose an exact shade?
A specific shade cannot be promised. During the consultation, we explain what change is reasonable to expect in your case.
What if I have composite resins or veneers?
Restorations don’t change color with whitening. If you have any, we take them into account when planning your treatment.
Can it cause sensitivity?
Some people may experience sensitivity during treatment. We explain how it’s managed and what care to follow.
Is a prior consultation necessary?
Yes. It allows us to check the health of your teeth and gums and determine whether whitening is the right option.
