Unlock Brighter Smiles with VLIJT's Professional Teeth Whitening
What
Is teeth whitening?
Hydrogen peroxide penetrates the tooth enamel and whitens the teeth. Teeth whitening is done safely with carbamide peroxide and a custom-made dental mould that you can use at home during the day and at night. This way you create a natural, stable and long-lasting result.
If you want whiter teeth without extensive treatments, bleaching can give a beautiful result. Color differences between teeth, crowns and fillings are restored and a bleaching treatment can also be combined with a filling or veneers.

How
How does carbamide peroxide work?
When carbamide peroxide comes into contact with teeth, it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and urea.
It oxidizes the organic compounds that cause stains.
Carbamide peroxide breaks down more slowly and lasts longer than hydrogen peroxide, making it ideal for home bleaching treatments that are used for longer periods of time.

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments offer numerous advantages over over-the-counter options. Dental professionals use stronger, more effective whitening agents that can achieve significantly brighter results in a shorter timeframe. This ensures a more dramatic and long-lasting transformation of your smile.
Additionally, professional whitening treatments are tailored to your individual needs and oral health condition, reducing the risk of sensitivity or other complications. With the guidance of a dentist, you can enjoy a safe and comfortable whitening experience for beautifully enhanced teeth.
Preparing for Your Whitening Treatment
Before undergoing professional teeth whitening, it's important to have a comprehensive dental exam to assess the current state of your oral health. Your dentist will identify any existing issues, such as cavities or gum disease, that need to be addressed first. This ensures the whitening process is effective and doesn't exacerbate any underlying problems.
Your dentist will also provide detailed instructions on how to properly prepare for the treatment, including recommendations for maintaining good oral hygiene in the days leading up to your appointment. Following these guidelines will help maximize the results of your whitening and minimize any potential side effects.
Maintaining Your Bright Smile
Achieving a brighter, whiter smile is just the first step. To keep your teeth looking their best, it's crucial to follow a diligent oral hygiene routine and avoid staining foods and beverages. Your dentist may recommend periodic touch-up treatments or provide guidance on at-home whitening products to help you maintain your results long-term.
Regular dental cleanings and checkups are also essential for preserving the effects of your professional whitening treatment. Your dentist can monitor your progress and provide personalized recommendations to ensure your smile stays radiant for years to come.
