Teeth whitening: what you need to know

Whitening lightens the shade of your teeth. For a safe and lasting result, professional supervision is best.

How it works

Whitening works on staining of the enamel (coffee, tea, tobacco, wine). A check-up beforehand is important: a decayed tooth, fragile gums or an existing restoration may rule out whitening or limit the result.

Our recommendations

  • A scale and polish before any whitening
  • Avoid unregulated kits, which can damage enamel and gums
  • Ask for advice during an appointment
