Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using professional-grade gels under dental supervision. Exacto Clinic offers in-chair whitening with a Philips ZOOM lamp for a faster result, custom take-home tray whitening for a gradual change, and a regenerative PREVDENT option. A hygiene visit is advised first so the gel acts on clean enamel, and the dentist checks suitability to help keep the gums and teeth comfortable.

Professional teeth whitening uses controlled concentrations of bleaching gel, applied under dental supervision, to lighten staining and the natural yellowing of teeth that comes with age, diet and habits such as drinking coffee, tea or red wine. Carrying it out professionally allows the gums to be protected, the shade change to be monitored and the treatment to be tailored to the individual, which is associated with more even and predictable results than over-the-counter products. Exacto Clinic offers several approaches. In-chair whitening with the Philips ZOOM system activates the gel with a lamp during a single appointment for a faster lift in shade. Take-home whitening uses custom-made trays and professional gel that the patient wears over a series of days for a more gradual change, and can also be used to maintain or top up an in-chair result. A regenerative PREVDENT option is available for those who also want a formulation aimed at supporting the enamel surface. Some short-lived sensitivity to cold can occur after whitening and usually settles quickly. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel and does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers, so the dentist will assess existing dental work and overall suitability first; a hygiene appointment beforehand helps the gel act on a clean surface. Results can be maintained with good habits and occasional top-ups.
