Cosmetic WHITEsmile at-home teeth whitening
How is the treatment done?
As with in-office teeth whitening, a full dental hygiene cleaning a few days before whitening is beneficial: during it, we remove tartar and other stains and deposits from the teeth. This helps achieve the best possible result after whitening.
A special impression is taken at the practice, from which the laboratory makes the custom whitening tray in 1-2 days. Together with the finished tray, the patient receives the WHITEsmile HOME KIT whitening set, which contains the whitening gel, a tray case, WHITEsmile whitening toothpaste and After Whitening Mousse desensitizer. Of course, the exact use of the full set is also explained in detail. The general recommendation is at least 3 hours of treatment a day for 5-12 days, depending on the result you want. The whitening procedure is suitable for the professional whitening of both living and non-vital teeth, and it is available in a pleasant, high-viscosity mint or strawberry flavour.
What to do after teeth whitening
To make sure the result of the whitening lasts, please follow the advice below for the next 4 days:
With the WHITEsmile FLASH system too, how long the whitening result lasts depends largely on your eating habits and oral care habits. For 4 days after the treatment, it is very important to follow these instructions: restrictions on colour, and protection from extreme temperatures, such as iced lemonade or hot soup. Forbidden: cola, coffee, red wine, black tea, jam, beetroot, dishes with paprika and tomato, citrus fruits because of their fruit acid content (lemon, orange), spices such as curry, in short, anything that stains the teeth and tongue anyway. Coloured mouthwashes should also be avoided.
Instead, I recommend naturally coloured foods: rice, pasta, cheese, bread and pastries, bananas, white meat, fish, mineral water, vanilla shakes, potatoes, creamy stews, plain yoghurt and so on. I also recommend using the AWM desensitizer as needed, but at least for 1-2 days after whitening, as well as a whitening maintenance toothpaste; these products are included in the whitening treatment.
How effective is at-home teeth whitening?
In my experience, both whitening methods (in-office / at-home) can achieve striking results. This treatment is also painless, although mild tooth sensitivity may sometimes occur. For a day after the treatment, the teeth may be slightly sensitive to hot and cold, which proper aftercare can easily relieve. At the end of the full treatment, the teeth can become 5-10 shades lighter, on average 7-8 shades.

Is at-home teeth whitening safe?
Under the supervision of a dental hygienist, the whitening process is perfectly safe. It is somewhat slower than in-office whitening, but otherwise it whitens the teeth effectively. Correct use is essential, and with it, it does not damage the teeth, gums, fillings or mucous membranes. It is important to mention that any type of teeth whitening can only be done on healthy, well-cared-for gums and teeth, under maximum supervision.
