Who it is for, how it works, how long the result lasts: all the answers before you take the plunge.
Whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic treatments. When done properly, it is safe and effective.
Who is it for?
For adults with healthy teeth. Cavities and tartar must be treated first. Crowns and veneers do not whiten.
At the clinic or at home?
In the chair, the result is achieved in a single session of about one hour. With custom-made trays, treatment lasts two to three weeks. Both techniques can be combined.
How long does the result last?
From one to three years depending on your habits (coffee, tea, tobacco). Small touch-ups help maintain it.
Beware of products sold without medical supervision: too concentrated, they can damage enamel and gums.
