COSMETIC DENTAL WHITENING | 1 FEBRUARY 2025

One of the most common cosmetic procedures is teeth whitening, which allows you to leave the dentist’s office with a brighter smile without requiring any real tooth remodelling.

People have been more concerned with the specifics of our looks, such the colour of our teeth, in recent years.

Whiter teeth are trendy, therefore it should come as no surprise that many people use teeth whitening to boost their self-esteem and confidence.

Alchimie Polyclinic can help with that as we are aware of how insecurities that arise from your teeth can significantly affect your daily life.

At Alchimie Polyclinic, your path to brighter teeth begins with a consultation, during which the licensed dentist will examine your teeth using X-rays and design a customised treatment plan.

In order to prepare your custom lab-made aligners for the whitening procedure to start, the impressions are taken. Once your whitening gel kit and custom-fitting home whitening trays arrive, you will be told to apply a tiny bit of the gel to the trays each night. Since they are worn every night, you can stop whitening at the shade you like and they have no effect on your day-to-day activities!

After this simple process, your teeth will look younger!

At Alchimie Polyclinic, we aim to debunk any myths and false beliefs you may have about teeth whitening.

Patients are worried about the condition of their teeth and don’t want to endanger themselves for aesthetic reasons. It is a common misperception that teeth whitening removes tooth enamel, however the substances really work on the enamel, brightening the tooth from the inside out.

If your teeth are already sensitive, whitening treatment may make them even more painful. That being stated, you are not unable to whiten your teeth simply because they are sensitive. When you first see your dentist, they will look for any places that might be more sensitive and treat you appropriately. To make things easier, your dentist can also lower the peroxide from 10% to 5%.

Being in the care of a skilled professional is crucial for any dental procedures in order to guarantee that the patient is not harmed. In order to protect our clients from damaging and abrasive materials, we at Alchimie Polyclinic make sure that the products we employ are of the highest calibre.
