This is done entirely at home. The procedure is similar in that first the teeth impressions are made in our clinic, which serve our technician as a template for making the carriers. Opalescence gel carriers are worn for 14 days during the night or for 2 hours per day depending on the peroxide concentration.

The teeth may become temporarily tender during whitening due to glycerin, which may cause temporary dehydration of the teeth. If this problem occurs, it is recommended to use a paste to reduce the tenderness during whitening or to omit the night whitening.

During the whitening and for 7 days thereafter, it is advisable to follow a white diet, to exclude foods and drinks with a high content of coloring substances such as a coke, coffee, tea, red wine, beetroot, turmeric and other.

Like the Pure Whitening system, Opalescence whitening has its contraindications, which should be evaluated by your dentist or dental hygienist. These include, for example, inflammation of the gums, extensive fillings in the front teeth, active periodontitis and other.

At our clinic, we use the Pure Whitening system, which is a combination of home and outpatient whitening. These days, Pure Whitening is one of the very gentle types of whitening that yields excellent and guaranteed results.

If the patient opts for this type of whitening, they first have a session with our dental hygienist to make impressions, which are then sent to the laboratory, where customized whitening carriers are produced. The patient then receives a special activated gel along with the carriers, which is applied to the carriers and then onto the teeth for 14 nights. This gel is kept at a low temperature during production and transport, which makes it the only one on the market as effective as on the day on which it was produced. Thanks to this, these systems also manage to whiten teeth that could not be whitened using other techniques. 14 days of home whitening is followed by the outpatient whitening, which is an important step in producing a long-lasting result.

Pure Whitening gels use the lowest concentrations of peroxide on the market and comply with the EU legislation. Some patients may experience increased tooth sensitivity during whitening with other brands. The Pure Whitening system reduces this sensitivity to a minimum by not containing stabilizers, preservatives, glycerol or other substances that could increase this tenderness.

Unlike in most other whitening programs, it is not necessary to follow a white diet while on Pure Whitening, i.e. , to avoid coffee, tea and other pigmented drinks and meals.

Of course, teeth whitening is not meant for everyone. It is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women, and also not suitable for people with poor hygiene and inflammation of the gums. Furthermore, it is not recommended for people with a large number of dental fillings in the front teeth, as this could result in color differences.
