Teeth Whitening in Chișinău

We offer professional teeth whitening, a procedure that lightens the natural shade of the enamel using a whitening gel and a special lamp.

Before the procedure the doctor assesses your teeth and gums, the sensitivity of the enamel and any contraindications, then explains what result you can expect in your own case.

The professional protocol makes whitening controlled: the soft tissues are protected and the intensity is matched to the condition of your teeth.

What is professional teeth whitening

Professional teeth whitening changes the shade of the natural tooth tissue with special whitening compounds.
Unlike professional teeth cleaning, which removes plaque and surface stains, whitening acts on the colour of the tooth itself and makes it visibly lighter.
The result depends on the starting shade of the enamel, the cause of the darkening and how your tissues react to the procedure.

When whitening is a good idea

1
Your teeth have darkened from coffee, tea, wine or smoking.
4
You want to freshen your smile before an important event.
2
Your smile looks dull, even though your teeth are healthy.
5
You want a lighter shade without fillings and crowns.
3
The colour of your teeth has become darker with age.

When whitening is not suitable

Whitening may be ineffective or unadvisable if:

  • you have active decay or gum inflammation
  • you have increased sensitivity, which must be dealt with first
  • the change in colour is caused by fillings, crowns or veneers
  • the teeth have darkened because of root canal treatment

In such cases the doctor will suggest another solution: treatment or veneers.

How lamp whitening works

Whitening lightens your own enamel, under the doctor's control.

A professional whitening gel is applied to the teeth. The lamp activates it: the pigments that darken the enamel (coffee, tea, smoking, age) break down, and the teeth become lighter.

The procedure takes place under the doctor's control, without removing any enamel and without mechanical intervention.

Please note:

  • ‍‍only your own enamel is whitened, and fillings and crowns do not change colour
  • the result is visible straight after the procedure
  • the shade is chosen individually, without "over-whitening"

Stages of teeth whitening

1
Examination and preparation

The doctor assesses your teeth, enamel and gums, checks that there are no contraindications and explains straight away what shade is realistic in your situation.

2
Protecting the gums

The gums are isolated with a special protective material, so that the gel does not touch the mucous membrane. This makes the procedure safe and comfortable.

3
Lamp whitening

The professional gel is applied to the teeth and activated by a special lamp. The doctor controls the process at every stage, so that the lightening is even and the enamel is protected.

4
Finishing and advice

The doctor assesses the result, removes the protection and explains how to care for your teeth after the procedure so that the effect lasts longer.

How long the procedure takes

In most cases the procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes and is done in one visit.

The exact time depends on the condition of the enamel and the chosen protocol, and the doctor tells you before the procedure begins.

Frequently asked questions

Does teeth whitening damage the enamel?

With professional whitening the risk to the enamel is low. We use ZOOM, a lamp-activated whitening system, under the doctor's control. The gel works on pigments, not on the structure of the tooth.

Will there be pain or sensitivity?

Most patients feel little or no discomfort during the procedure. After whitening you may have temporary sensitivity to cold or hot, which usually passes within 1 to 2 days.

Do fillings, crowns and veneers get whitened?

No. Only your own enamel is whitened. If you have restorations in the smile zone, the doctor explains in advance how they will affect the result.

How long does the effect last?

From a few months to a few years. It depends on your diet, smoking, coffee and the quality of your hygiene.

Can everyone have teeth whitening?

No. There are contraindications: decay, gum inflammation and high sensitivity. That is why the procedure always starts with an examination.

Can whitening be repeated?

Yes, at safe intervals. The doctor will tell you when a repeat procedure is appropriate and safe.
