In-Office Teeth Whitening

Professional in-office whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using dental-grade gels that are not available over the counter, applied under supervision in a single appointment. Zahnärzte im Schloss carries out chairside whitening in Berlin-Steglitz, usually after a professional cleaning so the result is even. Whitening does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns or veneers, which the dentist takes into account when planning.

Professional whitening uses a controlled peroxide-based gel to break down staining within the enamel and dentine, lifting the teeth several shades lighter. Because the materials are stronger than over-the-counter strips and applied under dental supervision, the results tend to be faster and more even, with the gums and lips protected during treatment. Whitening addresses general yellowing and age- or diet-related discoloration of otherwise healthy teeth; it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers, which is taken into account when planning so the final shade looks consistent. At Zahnärzte im Schloss the whitening on offer is an in-office (chairside) treatment carried out in a single visit, with a typical cost of around €450. The practice usually recommends a professional cleaning (PZR) beforehand — quoted separately — so the gel acts on a clean surface and the lift is even across the teeth. After treatment the team gives guidance on managing any short-lived sensitivity and on keeping the result looking fresh. Whitening suits adults with healthy teeth and gums who want a brighter smile; it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the dentist checks suitability and sets realistic expectations — especially where existing restorations are present — at consultation. English-, Greek- and Spanish-speaking staff are available for international patients in Berlin.
