DENTAL AESTHETICS AT KREMLIN BICÊTRE

Tooth whitening

Teeth whitening, commonly called “tooth bleaching” is a process that allows teeth to be lightened using a gel (carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide). These gels, when placed in prolonged contact with a tooth, act on the pigments that have formed over the years.

Teeth whitening is performed in 1 hour as an outpatient treatment (at home) using custom-made trays. The procedure can be repeated depending on the desired whitening and the initial shade. The treatment is painless and safe, but requires a prior oral health assessment. If indicated, the results are often immediate.
