Overview
What does this involve?
- Professional teeth whitening is an in-clinic procedure in which a controlled hydrogen-peroxide or carbamide-peroxide gel is applied to the labial enamel surface, lightening both intrinsic and extrinsic discolouration without removing tooth structure. In-clinic systems used through the ATDERA Care Network include Philips Zoom and Fläsh, with the gel concentration and exposure time selected by the clinician according to the starting shade and enamel sensitivity profile.
- Hydrogen peroxide is the active agent in most in-clinic systems and is applied at higher concentrations for shorter contact time. Carbamide peroxide, which breaks down to hydrogen peroxide and urea once activated, is used at lower concentrations for take-home tray top-ups and is the regulated agent for at-home maintenance. Both agents lighten tooth shade by oxidising the chromogens responsible for the darker colouration, and neither removes enamel.
- Whitening is a reversible procedure and re-touch-up is part of normal practice. The achieved shade typically holds for 12 to 24 months depending on dietary staining habits, smoking status, and oral hygiene; a maintenance top-up — either a short in-clinic session or a take-home tray protocol — is then used to restore the original shade.
Who is this for?
- Adults with extrinsic staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco, where professional cleaning followed by in-clinic whitening is the appropriate aesthetic plan.
- Patients with mild to moderate intrinsic discolouration — including age-related enamel yellowing — where the underlying enamel is sound and whitening is the proportionate first-line aesthetic intervention before considering veneers or crowns.
- Patients planning a wider aesthetic redesign who prefer to whiten the natural dentition first, so any subsequent veneer or crown shade is calibrated to the lightened baseline.
Key considerations
- Extrinsic dietary or tobacco staining of sound enamel that no longer responds to routine professional cleaning.
- Mild to moderate age-related enamel yellowing or generalised dullness of the natural dentition.
- Selected intrinsic discolouration of mild severity where the underlying enamel remains sound and a non-invasive aesthetic plan is preferred over veneers or crowns.
- Pre-aesthetic baseline whitening before a planned veneer or crown case, so the prosthetic shade is calibrated to the lightened natural dentition.
What to Expect
Before
Aesthetic Evaluation and Shade Assessment
1–2 weeks beforeA verified partner aesthetic dentist reviews your case remotely from clinical photographs and a written aesthetic brief covering the starting shade, target shade, and any history of sensitivity. The review confirms candidacy, identifies whether in-clinic whitening, a take-home tray protocol, or a combined plan is the appropriate aesthetic intervention, and rules out underlying decay or restoration mismatch that would compromise the result. ATDERA then issues a written, customised estimate covering the clinician fee, in-clinic system (Philips Zoom or Fläsh), and any take-home tray top-up.
During
In-Clinic Whitening Session
60–90 minutesOn the day of treatment, the partner aesthetic dentist isolates the gum tissue with a protective barrier and applies the hydrogen-peroxide gel to the labial enamel surface in two to three controlled cycles, each typically 15 minutes, depending on the system. Shade is reassessed against the calibrated shade guide between cycles, and the session ends when the agreed target shade is reached or the protocol's maximum exposure is met. A typical in-clinic appointment completes within 60 to 90 minutes.
After
Aftercare and Maintenance
Day of treatment onwardPatients avoid strongly pigmented food, drink, and tobacco for the first 24 to 48 hours while the enamel rehydrates, and may experience mild thermal sensitivity for up to two days. Routine oral hygiene resumes immediately, with a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft brush. The achieved shade typically holds for 12 to 24 months; a maintenance top-up — either a short in-clinic session or a take-home tray protocol — is then used to restore the original lightened shade. The ATDERA care coordinator schedules a remote review at month 3 and an annual aesthetic check thereafter.
