Teeth Whitening Geneva

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment aimed at enhancing the natural shade of teeth by lightening them several tones. It helps reduce visible surface stains as well as deeper discolorations, while preserving the dental structure.

This treatment targets:

• Extrinsic stains, which are present on the enamel’s surface.
• Intrinsic stains, which are deeper and located within the dentin.

The role of a dental hygienist is crucial in assessing the condition of your teeth before undergoing a whitening treatment.

A well-executed whitening treatment restores natural brightness while preserving dental health. However, there are contraindications, particularly for individuals with dental crowns or those suffering from acute tooth sensitivity.

Teeth whitening relies on the use of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide-based products. These agents penetrate the enamel to reach the dentin and break down the pigments responsible for tooth discoloration.

• Carbamide peroxide: A combination of urea and hydrogen peroxide, it acts gradually and is commonly used in at-home treatments.
• Hydrogen peroxide: More powerful and faster-acting, it is preferred for in-office whitening treatments.

At Clinique Dentaire Chantepoulet in Geneva, we offer two teeth whitening techniques tailored to your needs and expectations.

1. In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office whitening is a quick and effective solution performed under the supervision of a dental hygienist.

Session Process:

• A preliminary oral health assessment ensures your teeth and gums are in good condition.
• A high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth.
• The gel is activated with an LED or laser light to accelerate the process.
• The session lasts approximately 2 hours, with visible results by the end of the treatment.

Advantages:

• Immediate and natural-looking results.
• Safe treatment supervised by a dental hygienist.

Limitations:

• Temporary tooth sensitivity may occur.
• Higher cost compared to at-home treatment.

2. At-Home Teeth Whitening (Home Bleaching)

For those who prefer a gradual treatment, we provide personalized guidance for at-home whitening.

Treatment Process:

• Custom trays are made from dental impressions.
• A carbamide peroxide-based gel is applied inside the trays.
• The trays are worn for 1 to 1.5 hours during the day or overnight, depending on the protocol.
• The treatment typically lasts two weeks.

Advantages:

• More affordable costs.
• Less sensitivity compared to in-office treatment.
• Possibility of regular maintenance to prolong results.

Limitations:

• Gradual results, requiring consistency.
• Certain habits (e.g., smoking, coffee consumption) may need to be adjusted.
