No food containing dyes should be consumed on the day of in-office lamp whitening, and such food should be avoided for the next two days as well. In particular, coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks, foods containing paprika, blueberries, cherries, etc. can discolour teeth. The use of coloured toothpaste and mouthwash is not recommended either during this time. In short, you should eat or use things that are as white and as transparent as possible. For home whitening, 2-3 weeks of special attention (abstinence) is required.

Unfortunately, dental restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays/onlays, fillings, etc.) cannot be whitened, so patients who have any of these in their mouths require a prior consultation and planning for teeth whitening. Usually, after whitening, the restorations need to be replaced, especially those in the front of the mouth.

You should visit the dentist a month, but at least one week before the event to have any necessary pre-treatment or treatment. Dental hygiene treatment is necessary for healthy teeth as well, as it is essential to remove tartar.

The advantage of in-office teeth whitening is that the result can be achieved within a single session, in an hour and a half including preparation, while it takes two weeks to achieve the same result when using a teeth whitening splint at home. For 48 hours after the in-office whitening, and for at least two weeks while using a teeth whitening splint at home, it is not advisable to consume coloured foods and drinks or use coloured toothpaste. The home method should be used by those who are able to maintain an “ascetic” lifestyle for a longer period of time, but who wish to have the whitening done according to their own lifestyle.

With good oral hygiene, the results can last a lifetime, but the final result is of course influenced by eating habits and lifestyle (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, alcohol and other food and drink containing colouring agents). In this case, a complementary colour maintenance treatment, which can be used 1-2 times a year, is sufficient to maintain the previously achieved results.

No! Teeth whitening supervised by a Dental Hygienist does not damage the tooth enamel and does not have any known side effects. We have no accurate information on drugstore or non-Dentist/Dental Hygienist supervised whitening, but there is a serious risk that whitening materials or their misuse may be a source of irreversible gum and periodontal disease.

Our teeth whitening process has been perfected for many years by our experts to give you the whitest teeth possible in the safest possible way. Your gums are specially coated before the dentist applies our unique hydrogen peroxide whitening paste. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down the molecular bonds that build up stains on the surface and inside of teeth. The bright light of the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed Whitening LED Accelerator directed on the whitening paste further accelerates the process and can improve whitening results by up to 40%

Philips Zoom is not only proven to whiten teeth by up to eight shades, it is also completely safe. While other teeth whitening products can damage your teeth and gums, Philips Zoom and Relief ACP not only brighten teeth, but also protect tooth enamel.

YES! Clinical trials and studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening is the safest and most effective aesthetic dental procedure. Of course, this is only true if whitening is performed under the supervision of a dental hygienist !

Almost anyone, but there are some cases where treatment is not recommended; therefore, a thorough dental consultation should be performed before whitening.

Tooth discolouration is partly caused by genetic and partly by lifestyle reasons. Unfortunately, as we age, the colour of our teeth can change; besides, regular consumption of foods and drinks that contain artificial colouring can also have a major impact on the colour of our teeth. (E.g. coffee, various teas, red wine, nicotine, tar)
