PURE WHITENING Teeth Whitening

Mega Smile offers the PURE WHITENING system in two formats: a combined protocol pairing an in-office whitening session with a take-home kit for maximum and longest-lasting effect (9,700 Kč), or a home-only kit with custom-made trays for gradual whitening at your own pace (6,500 Kč). Whitening is performed within a full dental clinic, so the team checks that teeth and gums are healthy before treatment and can combine whitening with hygiene, composite work or veneers for a complete smile makeover. A professional cleaning beforehand removes surface staining so the whitening gel acts evenly.

Professional teeth whitening lightens the natural tooth shade by breaking down pigmented organic molecules within the enamel and dentine using carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gels — a fundamentally different mechanism from whitening toothpastes, which only polish surface stains. Having whitening performed at a dental clinic rather than a beauty salon matters: in the Czech Republic, higher-concentration peroxide gels may only be applied under dental supervision, and a dentist first verifies that there are no untreated cavities, leaking fillings, or gum inflammation that whitening gel would irritate. **The two PURE WHITENING formats at Mega Smile:** *Combined (in-office + home) — 9,700 Kč:* The most effective protocol. An in-office session delivers an immediate, visible shade jump under controlled conditions, followed by a take-home kit with custom-fitted trays that consolidates and deepens the result over the following one to two weeks. The combination typically achieves the largest and most durable shade change. *Home whitening — 6,500 Kč:* Impressions or a digital scan are taken to fabricate thin, precisely fitting whitening trays. You wear the trays with a milder gel for a prescribed period each day or overnight across roughly two weeks. The result builds gradually, sensitivity is generally lower, and you control the end shade by stopping when satisfied. **What to expect:** Transient tooth sensitivity for 24–72 hours after whitening is common and manageable with desensitising toothpaste. A 'white diet' (avoiding coffee, red wine, tea, and strongly coloured foods) is recommended for the first 48 hours. Existing crowns, veneers and composite fillings do not whiten — if you have visible restorations on front teeth, the dentist will discuss sequencing (whiten first, then match new restorations to the lighter shade). Results typically last one to three years depending on diet and smoking, and can be topped up with the home trays. **Preparation:** A dental hygiene session shortly before whitening is strongly recommended — removing plaque and surface staining lets the gel act evenly across each tooth and visibly improves the final result on its own.
