Bleach Beispie | Dr. Carina Wick

Welcome to my website! Here, you will discover everything you need to know about in-office teeth bleaching. A dazzling white smile is the dream of many, and with professional teeth bleaching, that dream is well within reach. In this short Q&A, I will answer the most common questions about the procedure, its benefits, and what you can expect.


Question 1: What is In-Office Teeth Bleaching?


In-office teeth bleaching is a cosmetic procedure performed by an experienced dentist in the dental office. Its primary goal is to remove discolorations and stains from the surface of your teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter natural tooth color. Compared to home remedies or over-the-counter bleaching products, in-office bleaching provides quicker and more effective results.


Question 2: How does the procedure work?


The process begins with a thorough examination of your teeth by the dentist to ensure you are a suitable candidate and have no untreated dental conditions. Next, your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove any existing buildup.


The actual bleaching process starts with the application of a special bleaching gel to your teeth. A specialized light or laser is used to activate the gel's effect and whiten the teeth. This step may be repeated multiple times based on your desired results.


Question 3: Is In-Office Teeth Bleaching safe?


Yes, in-office teeth bleaching is safe when performed by a trained and experienced dentist. The bleaching agents used are tested for compatibility and generally have a lower concentration than over-the-counter products. It is normal to experience some sensitivity after the procedure, but it typically subsides within a few days.


Question 4: What are the advantages of In-Office Teeth Bleaching?




  • Quick Results: You can see noticeable teeth whitening after just one session.




  • Professional Supervision: The procedure is monitored by a qualified dentist for the best results and safety.




  • Customized Treatment: The dentist can tailor the treatment to your individual needs and tooth color.




  • Long-Lasting Effects: With proper oral care and regular maintenance, the results can last for an extended period.




Question 5: How long do the results last?


The longevity of the results depends on your eating and drinking habits, as well as your oral hygiene routine. Avoid excessive consumption of coffee, red wine, tobacco, and heavily pigmented foods to maintain the whitening effect for a longer duration. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings also contribute to preserving the results over time.
