Teeth whitening is an aesthetic treatment that lightens the colour of teeth using active agents based on hydrogen peroxide or carbamide. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening uses higher concentrations applied under clinical control, ensuring safer, more predictable, and longer-lasting results.
The whitening agent penetrates the tooth enamel to break down colour molecules accumulated over time from tobacco, coffee, wine, or tea. It does not damage the enamel when performed correctly under professional supervision. Results are visible from the first session and can be maintained for 1 to 3 years with appropriate habits and periodic touch-ups.
At Alldent Benalmádena, we perform a preliminary examination before any whitening treatment: we check the condition of the enamel, rule out active cavities or severe sensitivity, and determine which system best suits your case. Whitening is also the usual preliminary step before a smile design with veneers, ensuring all teeth start from the lightest possible shade.
