Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)

Professional teeth whitening at Dental11 Zurich offers a controlled way to enhance the natural brightness of teeth.
The bleaching is clinically supervised, performed with high-quality materials, and tailored to the individual dental situation.
Discoloration caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, or age-related changes can often be gently reduced.

When is bleaching recommended?
  • for extrinsic stains (e.g., coffee, tea, wine, smoking)

  • for age-related darkening

  • as preparation for bonding or veneers

  • for a fresher, brighter appearance

  • for special occasions such as events, weddings, or photoshoots

Procedure for professional teeth whitening

1. Clinical Assessment

Before any whitening, we conduct an examination to assess gum condition, existing fillings, tooth sensitivity, and the initial shade.
This ensures that bleaching is suitable for your teeth.

2. Professional Dental Cleaning (recommended)

Dental hygiene before bleaching improves the result by removing plaque and surface stains.

3. In-Office Bleaching

A professional whitening gel is applied and activated under the supervision of the dental team.
The duration depends on your individual findings.

4. Home Bleaching (optional)

With custom-made trays, whitening can also be performed at home.
Suitable for gentle follow-up treatment or touch-ups.

5. Results & Care Instructions

After the treatment, you will receive advice on diet, care, and prophylaxis to maintain the results for as long as possible.

Teeth Whitening in Zurich Enge – Cost, Methods and Longevity

Professional whitening lightens the natural shade of your teeth. Unlike a cleaning, which removes only surface staining, the whitening gel also acts on deeper pigments. Before every treatment we check whether your teeth and gums are suitable.

Frequently asked questions

How long do the results last?

This varies considerably and depends heavily on diet, smoking and oral hygiene. Coffee, tea, red wine and nicotine cause new staining faster.

Does whitening damage enamel?

Professionally performed whitening with tested products is considered safe. The prior examination matters – we do not whiten over caries or leaking fillings.

Will my teeth become sensitive?

Temporary sensitivity to hot and cold is possible and usually settles within a few days. We can apply desensitising agents.

Do crowns, veneers and fillings lighten too?

No. Restorations do not change colour. After whitening they may appear darker and might need replacing – we discuss this beforehand.

What can I eat and drink afterwards?

For the first few days avoid strongly staining items: coffee, black tea, red wine, berries, curry and nicotine.

Is whitening suitable for everyone?

Not always. During pregnancy, with markedly exposed tooth necks or untreated conditions we advise against it or postpone treatment.
