Dental Whitening Geneva Lausanne: the "Whitening Artists Formula"
The steps DENTAL WHITENING GENEVA
1 - Dental Retractor
We first use a retractor to protect your lips and mouth, and take a photo of your teeth before we begin.
2 - Application of a protecting gel
We use a blue wax gel, called "liquid dam", which we apply to your gums. This gel ensures that the soft tissue of the gums is not stained. We also use cotton pads to contain saliva.
3 - Application of the whitening product
We then apply hydrogen peroxide gel evenly to the tooth surface, and provide you with protective eyewear.
4 - Dental Whitening with LED lamp
We use an LED lamp for whitening. Depending on the type of whitening, treatment time can vary from 15 to 90 minutes.
5 - Rinsing and final check
We rinse the gel and check the final result.
Scaling before dental whitening: is it mandatory?
Yes, scaling is strongly recommended before teeth whitening. Scaling is an essential step in preparing your teeth for the whitening process.
Scaling, also known as professional dental cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth.
These deposits can alter the whitening result by interfering with the penetration of the whitening agents.

Can I benefit from teeth whitening if I have periodontitis?
Tooth whitening is generally not recommended if you have initial periodontitis. You need to treat it first, then consider whitening (ask your dentist or hygienist first!). Periodontitis is a gum disease that affects the supporting tissues of the teeth, including bone and ligaments. In such cases, it’s essential to treat periodontitis first by consulting your dental hygienist, who can refer you, if necessary, to a periodontal specialist, also known as a periodontologist.
Before considering tooth whitening, it’s essential to ensure that your oral health is optimal. If you suffer from periodontitis, it’s crucial to follow the treatments recommended by your hygienist/periodontologist to stabilize gum disease. Once periodontitis is under control and your gums are healthy, you can discuss the possibility of teeth whitening.
In summary, if you have periodontitis, first consult your hygienist or a periodontologist to evaluate and treat this condition. Once your oral health is optimal, you can consider tooth whitening.
Can orthodontic braces be used to whiten teeth?
Tooth whitening while wearing orthodontic braces is highly inadvisable. Orthodontic braces, often simply called braces, are used to correct various dental problems such as tooth alignment, gaps between teeth and bite problems.
Tooth whitening involves the use of special products such as bleaching gels or peroxides that act on the color of tooth enamel. However, when wearing braces, the teeth under and around the braces will not be evenly exposed to the whitening agents.
It’s best to wait until orthodontic treatment is complete before considering tooth whitening. Once the braces are removed and your orthodontic treatment is complete, your hygienist or dentist will be able to assess the color of your teeth and advise you on the whitening options best suited to your situation.
Remember to follow your orthodontist’s and dental hygienist’s instructions during treatment with orthodontic braces to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.
Can I have my teeth whitened after removing orthodontic braces?
Yes, absolutely! Once your braces have been removed and your orthodontic treatment is complete, you can consider teeth whitening to restore your radiant smile. Sometimes, however, you’ll need to have them re-mineralized before and after whitening. Orthodontic braces are often removed at the end of treatment to correct tooth alignment and improve bite.
Tooth whitening after band removal is an excellent option for improving the color of your teeth. Bands can leave visible traces on the enamel, creating a difference in shade between the areas covered by the bands and other areas of the teeth. A whitening treatment can even out the color of your teeth and give you a brighter smile.
