It is a cosmetic treatment aimed at lightening the color of teeth by removing stains and whitening the enamel.

It improves the aesthetic appearance of teeth, providing a brighter and whiter smile, which can boost self-confidence.

Primarily hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide.

Le gel H₂O₂ est un gel à base de peroxyde d'hydrogène, l'agent éclaircissant le plus utilisé en blanchiment professionnel. Il s'applique sur l'émail pendant une durée définie par le protocole, souvent activé par une lampe LED. Le booster d'émail et les gels reminéralisants/désensibilisants sont des consommables complémentaires : ils accompagnent la séance pour limiter la sensibilité, sans constituer un acte de soin. Le blanchiment dentaire est un acte esthétique, non médical.

Of a crown (visible part), enamel (protective layer), gingival sulcus, dentin, dental pulp (nerve) and root.

Because of the color of the dentin, particularly visible when the enamel layer is thin.

Fluorosis is a condition caused by overexposure to fluoride during tooth formation. It can create white spots that make teeth whitening more difficult.

Enamel is porous and some dyes can adhere to it. Therefore, it is advisable to follow a diet free of staining foods for 10 to 15 days before treatment.

⚡ Hydrogen peroxide is more powerful and acts faster (45 minutes).⏳ Carbamide peroxide is less powerful, takes longer (1h30 or more for the same result), but keeps better (up to 2 years without refrigeration).

Gels, strips and liquids.

🏠 Home whitening (with kits or syringes).🏥 In-office whitening (performed by a professional).

🏡 At home: Less concentrated products, results take longer to achieve.👩⚕️ In the office: Faster, more powerful products activated by a special lamp.

⚠️ Temporary tooth sensitivity (2 to 24 hours), gum burning, tooth pain, esophageal irritation, peroxide smell, discomfort caused by the retractor.

This varies depending on the initial staining, the concentration of whitening agents, and the desired result. A professional protocol often includes one or more sessions, sometimes supplemented by at-home maintenance (strips/toothpaste). There is no single standard: a trained practitioner will tailor the treatment to each individual case. We cannot guarantee a specific result, as whitening depends on individual factors (enamel, diet, smoking).

When used professionally and at regulated concentrations, teeth whitening is a controlled cosmetic procedure. Safety relies on the protocol: gum protection, appropriate dosage, controlled duration, and a concentration suitable for professional use (>6%). Teeth whitening is a cosmetic, not a medical, procedure: no therapeutic claims are made. If there is any doubt about a client's oral health, a consultation with a dentist is recommended before any session.

Performed according to a professional protocol and at regulated concentrations, this procedure aims to lighten the shade without altering the enamel structure. Adherence to the prescribed duration, dosage, and use of complementary products (remineralizing agents) contributes to patient comfort. Like any cosmetic procedure, it must be performed with discretion. No medical claims are made; a consultation with a dentist is recommended in cases of pre-existing tooth fragility.

Hydrogen peroxide acts on natural enamel, not on artificial materials: crowns, veneers, composites, and fillings do not change color. After whitening, a color difference may appear between the whitened natural teeth and the restorations. This should be explained to the client before the appointment. Consulting a dentist is recommended in these situations.
