Teeth whitening

What symptoms may indicate that whitening is not suitable yet?

Teeth whitening is not carried out to treat physical symptoms, but for cosmetic reasons. If you have toothache, cavities, damaged teeth or gum problems, these should be examined and treated first.

What happens during teeth whitening?

Before whitening, we assess whether your teeth are suitable for treatment and discuss what results you can realistically expect. The exact treatment and instructions depend on the whitening system used and your individual dental situation.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Teeth whitening itself is usually not painful, but some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment, for example when eating or drinking something hot or cold. The level of sensitivity varies from person to person.

How long does teeth whitening take?

This depends on the whitening method used and the result you would like to achieve. Some whitening treatments involve several whitening sessions over a longer period of time.

What can you expect after teeth whitening?

Your natural teeth may become visibly lighter, but the final result varies from person to person. Existing fillings, crowns and veneers do not whiten in the same way as natural teeth. Over time, some discolouration may gradually return.

How much does teeth whitening cost?

The cost depends on the whitening method and what is needed for your treatment. After examining your teeth, we can explain the available options and the expected costs.

Is teeth whitening covered by health insurance?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment and is generally not covered by Dutch basic health insurance. Additional dental insurance also often excludes cosmetic treatments. We recommend checking your own insurance policy if you would like to know whether any reimbursement applies.

When should you contact the dentist?

Please contact us if you experience severe or persistent pain during or after whitening, noticeable irritation of the gums, or if you have questions about the use of your whitening products.
