Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening is among the most sought-after cosmetic treatments today. Yet, many patients still wonder: is it truly safe for teeth and gums?
The answer is simple: yes, when the treatment is performed in a professional setting and according to a precise protocol.
Why does this question come up so often?
Between online kits, “DIY” tips, and unregulated products, it’s normal to be wary.
Some solutions are too abrasive or improperly dosed, and can cause sensitivities or irritations. This is what fuels the doubt.
What makes whitening safe
At our clinic, we have developed a strict protocol designed to protect enamel while ensuring visible results.
Our Signature Whitening is based on three pillars:
1. Comprehensive analysis of your dental health
Before any treatment, we check the condition of your gums, the absence of cavities or micro-cracks, and existing sensitivity.
2. A controlled medical gel adapted to your case
Each patient receives an adjusted concentration to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
3. Full protection of gums and soft tissues
We carefully isolate sensitive areas to prevent any contact with the active gel.
Is sensitivity normal?
Yes, slight sensitivity may appear after the session.
It is temporary, disappears within a few hours, and we use a progressive approach to minimize it.
Are the results long-lasting?
Yes. And they are even more so if a few simple recommendations are followed after the treatment, such as avoiding staining foods for 48 hours.
We also offer personalized follow-up to maintain whiteness long-term.
Conclusion
Teeth whitening is safe when performed with a certified product, clinical expertise, and a controlled protocol.
Our Signature Whitening offers you a brighter smile, while fully respecting enamel and tissues.
Yes, when it is performed by a dentist using a regulated product. The gels used in clinics act only on the internal pigments of the teeth and do not alter the structure of the enamel. The professional protocol protects the gums, limits sensitivity, and ensures stable results.
Yes, but it is temporary and usually disappears within 24 to 48 hours. With our signature protocol, desensitization is performed before and after the treatment, which significantly reduces this effect.
Pregnant women, minors, and individuals with untreated cavities, inflamed gums, or active hypersensitivity. The dentist always checks the oral health status before approving the treatment.
It works on natural teeth but not on crowns, veneers, or composite restorations. The dentist systematically checks all restorations before the treatment.
Because it uses effective concentrations, gum protection, controlled activation, and a protocol adapted to the original shade and the structure of each tooth. The result: whiter, more even, and longer-lasting.
