To see whether your teeth are suitable for bleaching, we first do an oral and/or X-ray examination. During this first appointment we look at the amount and nature of the discoloration.
• First we take an impression of your teeth. Then our technicians at our dental laboratory will make plaster models on these impressions. The trays are then moulded on these models, ensuring a perfect fit.
• Two weeks later you can pick up the trays with the corresponding whitening gel. For seven to ten days you simply place the gel into the whitening trays, slip them over your teeth and sleep with the trays.

Since December 2012 there are new rules regarding home bleaching. Bleaching agents for at-home whitening can only be obtained through a dental practice. From this date, less hydrogen peroxide is allowed to be present in bleaching agents, so a client will have to bleach longer for the desired result. How much longer depends on the wishes of the client.

Two weeks after the treatment, we evaluate the bleaching result and we take after pictures. The result of bleaching depends on the natural (i.e. initial) colour of your teeth. In general, after a treatment, your teeth become 1 or 2 shades lighter than the original colour.
