Teeth Whitening - Dental Center Ixelles

Teeth whitening is a procedure to restore the tooth’s natural colour. When doing so, the dentist applies an active chemical agent called “carbamide peroxide 6%” or “hydrogen peroxide” on the layers of the teeth. This oxidation process will whiten your teeth and give you a radiant smile.

We would like to remind you that tooth whitening and veneers are aesthetic treatments. Consequently, they are not covered by the basic mutual insurance scheme or by supplementary dental insurance. You will therefore have to pay for these treatments yourself.

Tips before your visit our practice:

Clean your teeth at least twice a day for a week before your appointment
Smokers are advised to stop smoking before the treatment
For patients with porcelain crowns or veneers, it is important to emphasise that their colour will not change and that it may be necessary to replace them after a whitening.

After your treatment:

Follow the recommendations provided by our dentist; these tips will help you to ensure a longer lasting result
2 to 3 days after treatment, avoid smoking, drinking coffee or consuming foods with a high acid content
We recommend using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth

Useful information

Are my teeth suitable for whitening? What degree of whiteness can be achieved?

At the beginning of each session, the whitening procedure is explained by the dentist. However, if you are afraid of making a direct commitment, you can make a 30-minute appointment with the practitioner for a preliminary examination (personalised advice and estimate).

Does teeth whitening take a lot of time?

Chairside bleaching, carried out by the dentist, takes place in a 60-minute session. During this session, we will apply several layers of product after protecting your gums.

If you opt for the ‘chairside bleaching and home care kit’ option, we will also take your impressions so that our laboratory can make your personalised trays. These can be collected within 3 to 5 days.

If you choose the home bleaching kit, the session will last 30 minutes. We will take your impressions so that our laboratory can make your personalised trays. These can be collected within 3 to 5 days.

Which method is used for whitening?

Our whitening products contain a substance that releases oxygen ions during treatment. These ions penetrate the inside of the tooth and discolour the pigments that have formed there.

After whitening, how long will my teeth stay white and bright?

This can differ from case to case. The effect of whitening can often last for many years. Thorough oral hygiene and regular cleaning by a professional can help to maintain the whiteness.
