Frequently asked questions

Teeth whitening: your questions

Does whitening damage the teeth?

When carried out and monitored by a dentist with properly dosed products, it does not damage the enamel. Temporary sensitivity may occur for a few days.

How long does the result last?

Several years, depending on your diet and smoking. A short touch-up can be done to maintain the shade.

Why have it done at the dentist rather than with a shop-bought kit?

In the European Union, stronger products are reserved for dentists. The dentist also checks that your teeth can be whitened safely.

Do crowns and veneers get whiter too?

No, only natural teeth change colour. Whitening is therefore done before making a visible crown or veneer.
