Teeth whitening at the dentist

A radiant smile starts with Botman

Even with good dental care, tooth discoloration can occur. Tooth discoloration can be caused by external factors such as smoking, coffee, tea and red wine, but also by internal causes such as trauma, illness or frequent use of antibiotics. In addition, the enamel wears down with age, causing the yellow tint of the underlying dentine to shine through more. This results in a less white smile. However, you do not have to accept the uncertainty that this can cause.

We have been offering safe, extensively tested whitening treatments for many years. The most common treatment is home whitening with custom-made plastic trays and the right whitening gel. We use the White Dental Beauty whitening gel from Novon, a leading brand in the field of teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening after tooth discoloration

Depending on the initial situation, you will bleach for one to three weeks. You will have the trays in for 1,5 to 2 hours per day, which you can easily do at home. During the bleaching treatment, it is important that you are careful with food and drinks that contain a lot of dyes. Think of coffee, red wine, curries with turmeric and you should also limit smoking.

Fillings and crowns/bridges do not bleach. The position of the teeth also affects the way light is reflected. That is why it is important that the dentist gives you the right advice to get the desired result you are looking for.

How to keep your teeth radiant after treatment

After the bleaching treatment, the teeth are extra susceptible to discolouration. We advise you not to consume food/drinks with colouring agents and not to smoke for 24 hours after the treatment. This has a negative effect on the final result. After this period, you can continue your normal eating and drinking pattern and you are assured of a radiant white smile.

Depending on your lifestyle, new discoloration may occur. Fortunately, whitening your teeth with our whitening gel is a process that is not harmful to the teeth if not overused. You can repeat this safe method every two to three years and you can reuse your own whitening trays. You only need to order the gel from us again and pick it up.
