Looking for a brighter smile?
In Brussels, In The Municipality Of Uccle, Teeth Whitening Can Be The Ideal Solution To Brighten Your Smile.
The principle is simple: we lighten teeth by one or several shades using a gentle, gradual approach.
The active ingredient works on the enamel and diffuses into the dentine underneath.
A whitening gel is placed in a clear, custom‑made tray.
The gel penetrates the tooth and gradually neutralises the molecules responsible for staining.
Our gels also contain potassium nitrate and fluoride to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
The active ingredient (carbamide or hydrogen peroxide) passes through enamel to reach the molecules that cause colour changes inside the tooth.
Oxygen molecules released by the active ingredient break the bonds of the pigments responsible for the shade.
Oxygen then diffuses through the tooth to act evenly.
This fee includes a digital scan, custom trays made by the laboratory and the whitening products.
The result is usually long‑lasting. Over time, new pigments (diet and habits) can gradually darken teeth again.
This depends largely on your habits (smoking, tea, coffee, diet).
To maintain an optimal result, a light top‑up may be considered every 2 to 3 years.
Tooth sensitivity can occur during treatment. It is most often temporary and typically fades by the end of the protocol.
The gel includes desensitising agents to improve comfort.
For a reliable, long‑lasting result, professional guidance is recommended.
‘Home remedies’ (e.g., lemon + baking soda) and some so‑called whitening toothpastes do not whiten teeth deeply.
At best, they reduce some surface stains, but repeated abrasion can wear down enamel.
No. Studies suggest the gel alone can achieve an excellent result and that lamp activation does not provide a meaningful benefit.
In addition, EU regulations limit hydrogen peroxide concentration to 6% maximum, which greatly reduces the value of in‑chair whitening activated by laser or light.
At that concentration, it is difficult to obtain a strong result in a very short time. That’s why we favour a tray‑based protocol.
