White Teeth - Professional Bleaching in Aachen, Germany

An objectively beautiful smile also depends on the colour of your teeth. The discoloration of the teeth is a natural aging process, which varies from patient to patient in speed or intensity. If you smoke a lot or drink coffee, tea or red wine, this effect is even more pronounced and your teeth may turn yellow or dark. This causes colour particles to settle on the tooth surfaces, which can penetrate deeper into the enamel and cause permanent colouring, which cannot be removed even with thorough dental care. In such cases, we offer you professional bleaching in our dental practice in Aachen.

How does bleaching work?

To whiten the teeth, the discoloured particles are bleached by substances containing hydrogen peroxide, similar to bleaching the hair. For this purpose a professional tooth cleaning by your dentist in Aachen is necessary. Then there are various methods of bleaching.

home bleaching

As the name says, you can carry out this procedure at home in consultation with the specialists of our practice clinic in Aachen. For this purpose, a custom-fit splint is made for you by taking an impression of your teeth. You can then fill this with the bleaching agent at home and, according to the instructions of your dentist and the desired effect, wear this splint for one to several hours. This procedure is repeated for a few weeks until the desired brightness level is achieved. The advantage of this method is that you can keep your individual splint and after a few years, when the teeth change colour again, you can carry out a further home bleaching economically.

office bleaching

The other alternative that we offer in our dental practice in Aachen is direct bleaching in our practice rooms. With so-called office bleaching, our specialists apply the bleaching agent directly to your teeth, let it work in a controlled manner and can intensify the degree of colour whitening with a special lamp according to your wishes. In case of severe discoloration, this process can be repeated in several sessions until the desired effect is achieved. Which colour level your teeth can be whitened in and which method is best suited to your needs will be clarified in advance in an interview with your specialist in our practice clinic in Aachen.

What should I pay attention to when bleaching?

In principle, the whitening of your teeth through bleaching does not pose any risk to our dentists at the practice clinic in Aachen, provided it is carried out professionally. The teeth are not attacked and remain healthy. It is only known that the tooth necks can be temporarily more sensitive after bleaching. However, this can be counteracted with a simple fluoride treatment, either by your specialist or with appropriate fluoride gels from the pharmacy. You should note, however, that you should refrain from using stimulants such as tobacco, coffee, tea and wine for about a day after the treatment in order not to negatively influence the success of bleaching.

Other ways in which you can improve your tooth colour in our practice clinic in Aachen are offered by dental fillings or veneers.

Teeth naturally have a slightly different colour in every human being. They darken slightly with age. With heavy smokers, coffee or tea drinkers, this effect is intensified. If you want a brighter colour for your teeth, we can offer you two very gentle methods for bleaching your teeth, either in our dentist’s chair directly (fast procedure, in one session until the desired result) or at home (home bleaching) with specially made splints for your teeth.

Professional bleaching in Aachen

The advantage of homebleaching is that it can be repeated very cheaply by you after some time, because bleaching lasts about 2 to 3 years until the teeth have the old color again. Professional tooth cleaning should always be carried out before bleaching. This is included in our bleaching price.
