We whiten teeth with two established systems, Philips Zoom and Opalescence. The dentist chooses the method according to your wishes, the condition of your enamel and your oral health.
Teeth whitening is not a medical treatment and is usually done on your own initiative. There are therefore few contraindications, but in some cases we recommend that you hold off. Please note that fillings, inlays, crowns and veneers do not change colour when whitened.
The systems differ in composition and effect on the enamel, but both also contain substances that care for the enamel. Four options:
The dentist chooses the system and method at the consultation.
This is how express whitening works. At-home whitening is done with trays and gel, following the dentist’s instructions.
The dentist reviews your wishes, the condition of your enamel and your oral health, and chooses the system.
The gums are isolated before the whitening agent is applied.
The gel, with a high concentration of the active ingredient, stays on the teeth for 20, 40 or 60 minutes, depending on the product.
To keep the result, we recommend home trays with whitening gel, or a new treatment with us.

Express whitening takes 1–2 hours in the dental chair. With at-home whitening you wear the trays overnight, or for 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the product. Full effect is reached after about a week.
After whitening at the clinic, your teeth may be sensitive for a short time. At-home whitening is a milder option that suits sensitive teeth.
The effect of at-home whitening lasts a long time. If you smoke and do not plan to stop, the result will be weaker and short-lived. To keep the effect, you can use trays with whitening gel at home or come back for a new treatment.
We recommend that you hold off if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are under 18, have holes in your teeth, cracks in the enamel or loose edges on fillings and crowns, or are taking certain antibiotics or medicines over a longer period (ask your doctor).
No. Fillings, inlays, crowns and veneers do not change colour when whitened. It is good to know this if you have them on visible teeth.
