GIVE YOUR CONFIDENCE A BOOST WITH NATURALLY WHITE TEETH!
Below you will find some general information on the whitening methods we offer. Keep in mind that whitening results are not permanent, because pigments from what you eat and drink can stain your teeth again over time (black tea, coffee, cigarettes, red wine, and so on). Your oral hygiene also plays a part in how long the result holds up. On average, you can expect the result to last around 2 years, depending on your oral hygiene and what you consume.
The difference between in-office and at-home whitening
In-office whitening with Philips Zoom!

With the Philips Zoom! treatment, your teeth can be whitened right in the dental chair in about an hour. Worldwide, this treatment has been used by more than 4 million patients! It is a safe, responsible way to whiten, with excellent results in a single visit.
First, your teeth are cleaned and polished if needed, so the whitening gel (hydrogen peroxide) can work on a clean surface. The gel is then applied across four 15-minute sessions and activated with a Philips LED lamp, which helps lift the discolouration from the molecules in the tooth. Watch the video on YouTube (English).
This treatment is also suitable for patients with gum recession and sensitive teeth, because the Philips Zoom! treatment contains Relief ACP gel that helps reduce sensitivity.
The big advantage of this method is that you can whiten your teeth safely and efficiently in just one visit. Click here for more information on Philips Zoom! in-office whitening.
At-home whitening with Opalescence PF

You can also whiten safely and effectively at home, at work, or while you exercise. Your dentist takes impressions of your teeth, and you then receive custom-fitted clear whitening trays. Along with the trays, the dentist gives you a whitening gel containing carbamide peroxide. You apply the gel yourself in the tray and wear it for 2 to 4 hours.
You can stop whitening as soon as you are happy with the result, or once your teeth stop getting any whiter, up to a maximum of 10 days of use.
As with the in-office method, your teeth are cleaned and polished first if needed, so the whitening gel (carbamide peroxide) can work on a clean surface.
The big advantage here is the freedom to whiten whenever it suits you, safely, until you reach the result you want or the most your teeth can achieve. Another plus: once your teeth start to discolour again over time, you can keep using your trays and simply buy fresh gel to whiten again.
