Teeth whitening

A modern treatment that brightens the colour of teeth by reducing enamel pigmentation

Poor oral hygiene, tartar build-up, cavities, and the consumption of beverages such as tea, coffee or wine, as well as certain medications and smoking, contribute to teeth discoloration or changes in colour. Whitening your teeth is the ideal solution to restore their natural shade and achieve the bright, youthful and healthy smile you’ve always desired.

Teeth whitening is a modern treatment that brightens the colour of the teeth by reducing enamel shade. The goal is to achieve whiter, brighter and more aesthetic teeth. It is a conservative, comfortable technique that offers immediate results without altering tooth structure or damaging the enamel.

What does teeth whitening involve?

  • Teeth whitening can be carried out in different ways: in-clinic whitening, home whitening, or a combined method (clinic and home).
  • For each of these methods, it is essential to first assess the health of the teeth and gums and to ensure there are no cavities or cracks. The original shade of the teeth is recorded, and a professional cleaning is performed to remove plaque and impurities.
  • In-clinic whitening begins by protecting the gums with a special barrier or paste. Then, a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel is applied onto the teeth surface. The peroxide is activated using a cold-light lamp, penetrating the enamel and brightening the teeth.
  • For home whitening, impressions are taken to create custom transparent trays that fit perfectly in the mouth. If the tray does not fit properly, it could irritate the gums. The tray is provided along with a whitening kit, and the patient applies the gel at home under the professional’s guidance and supervision.
  • Combined whitening is the most recommended and effective method, capable of brightening the teeth by up to three or four shades, with significantly longer-lasting results.

Benefits of teeth whitening

  • Teeth whitening is a simple, quick, effective, long-lasting and painless procedure.
  • The result is a visibly brighter smile, with cleaner, whiter teeth that look fresh and well cared for.
  • From the very first session, the teeth appear noticeably whiter.
  • A beautiful white smile boosts confidence and self-esteem, creating a lasting positive impression.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening

Not always. Teeth whitening works on natural enamel, so it is effective on vital teeth with external stains caused by food, tobacco or ageing. However, it does not change the colour of fillings, veneers, crowns or caps.

Before starting treatment, Clínica Dental Art carries out a full dental assessment to determine whether whitening is the most suitable option for you or if it should be combined with other aesthetic solutions such as veneers or reconstructions.

The duration depends on the whitening method used (in-clinic, at-home or combined) and the patient’s initial tooth shade. In general, in-clinic whitening takes around 45 to 60 minutes per session, while at-home whitening may require several applications over one to two weeks.

With the combined whitening method — the most complete — results normally last between one and three years, depending on individual habits.

The price varies according to the technique used and the patient’s specific needs. At Clínica Dental Art, we provide a personalized quote after a detailed evaluation.

It is an accessible treatment with excellent value for money, especially considering the aesthetic impact and confidence gained from a brighter and whiter smile.

After whitening, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid consuming highly pigmented foods or drinks (such as red wine, coffee, tea, curry or soy sauce) during the first few days.

It is also recommended to refrain from smoking and to schedule regular professional cleanings to maintain long-term results. Whitening toothpaste may help maintain brightness, always under dental supervision.
