Bleaching

A radiant smile looks healthy, well-groomed, and friendly. But over time, coffee, tea, red wine, and nicotine can leave their mark. At Zahnkronenhalle Zürich, we use modern teeth-whitening techniques to gently and safely restore your teeth’s natural radiance—for naturally white teeth that suit you.

Why teeth become discolored

Tooth discoloration occurs naturally over the years. Stains from substances like coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco build up on the tooth surface. Certain medications or medical conditions can also alter tooth color. Even with good oral hygiene and regular dental care, these stains often cannot be completely removed. This is where professional teeth whitening can help—gently, effectively, and under dental supervision.

Professional bleaching at the dentist in Zurich

Unlike over-the-counter products, professional teeth whitening at our practice is carefully monitored and tailored to the specific structure of your teeth. A special gel gently but effectively converts embedded color pigments into colorless compounds. Your gums are fully protected throughout the process. This ensures a naturally bright result without any risk to your teeth or gums.

Home bleaching or practice bleaching - which is better?

With at-home teeth whitening, we provide you with custom-fitted trays and a gentle whitening gel for use at home. At our office, we use a higher concentration, which leads to faster and more intense results. We’ll discuss together which method is best for you. The key factors are always your dental health and the desired whitening result.

Radiant results with modern dental aesthetics

Teeth whitening is a part of cosmetic dentistry and can visibly rejuvenate your smile. When combined with professional dental hygiene, Airflow treatments, or veneers, we achieve particularly harmonious results. Our dentists and dental hygienists will provide you with personalized advice to ensure that your smile remains not only brighter but also naturally beautiful.
