Whitening pricesWhat is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the natural shade of teeth by lightening them by several tones. It helps reduce visible discoloration on the surface of the teeth as well as deeper stains, while preserving the dental structure.
This treatment targets extrinsic stains, found on the enamel surface, and intrinsic stains, located deeper in the dentin. The role of a dental hygienist is essential in assessing the condition of your teeth before any whitening treatment.
A well-performed teeth whitening procedure helps restore natural brightness while preserving dental health. However, there are some contraindications, especially for individuals with dental crowns or suffering from severe tooth sensitivity.

How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening is based on the use of products containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents penetrate the enamel to reach the dentin and break down the pigments responsible for tooth discoloration.
- Carbamide peroxide : A mixture of urea and hydrogen peroxide, it acts gradually and is often used in at-home treatments.
- Hydrogen peroxide : More powerful and fast-acting, it is preferred for in-office whitening treatments.

FAQ
What teeth whitening methods are available at Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet?
The clinic offers two protocols: in-office whitening in a single 2-hour session with visible results from the end of treatment, and home whitening using custom trays worn 1 to 1.5 hours during the day or overnight for around two weeks. Both use a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel; the in-office treatment is activated by an LED or laser lamp and supervised by a dental hygienist.
How does teeth whitening work chemically?
Hydrogen peroxide penetrates the enamel and reaches the dentin, where it breaks down the pigments that cause staining (coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, food dyes). The process lightens the natural shade of the teeth without damaging their structure when concentration and contact time are respected. Whitening should always be supervised by a professional, who first rules out cavities and gum lesions.
Who should avoid teeth whitening?
Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet lists acute tooth sensitivity and existing crowns as the main contraindications; prosthetic materials (crowns, veneers, composites) do not react to the gel and can create a visible mismatch once the natural teeth are lightened. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are situations in which treatment is usually postponed. A preliminary check-up rules out cavities and lesions that peroxide could aggravate.
How much does teeth whitening cost at Clinique Dentaire de Chantepoulet?
Home whitening is listed at 390 CHF, custom trays included. In-office whitening in a single 2-hour session, with maintenance trays, is priced at 750 CHF. These prices cover the full protocol; any preparatory care (preliminary scaling, fillings) is billed separately according to the clinic’s general price list.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Longevity depends on oral hygiene, diet, and consumption of tobacco, coffee, tea or red wine, which all accelerate re-staining. In practice, results usually last one to three years, sometimes longer in very disciplined patients. Occasional top-ups using the maintenance trays help refresh the result between full treatments.
