Frequently Asked Questions
Professional bleaching in Munich – for a radiant smile
A bright white smile stands for health, self-confidence and a positive charisma. In our dental practice in Munich, we offer you professional bleaching treatment that meets the highest standards. Using state-of-the-art techniques and proven procedures, we ensure safe and effective teeth whitening in Munich.
What is whitening?
Bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, is a proven method to remove discoloration of teeth and restore their natural brightness. Discoloration is often caused by the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine or tobacco, but also by the natural aging process. During bleaching, a special gel is applied to the tooth surfaces, which penetrates deep into the tooth structure with the help of active ingredients and dissolves stubborn discoloration there. The result: visibly whiter teeth and a radiant smile – right here in your dental practice in Munich.
Home bleaching: yes or no?
Home bleaching refers to teeth whitening at home, in which a specially made plastic splint with a bleaching gel is used. Although the advertising promises easy application, the bleaching effect is often less effective and the bleach can leak out uncontrollably.
Despite the supposed simplicity, we therefore recommend a detailed consultation on the various bleaching options – both for use at home and for professional bleaching treatments in our dental practice in Munich.
Bleaching at home can be dangerous
Bleaching teeth at home is possible in principle, but most over-the-counter whitening products are less effective than the preparations used by dentists due to their lower concentration. Caution is advised especially with high-dose agents from the Internet. We dentists recommend that you seek advice from our practice before using them at home, as not all teeth are suitable for bleaching. A healthy tooth base is crucial to avoid unwanted side effects.
In Office Bleaching: Professional Teeth Whitening in the Practice
Office bleaching, also known as chairside bleaching, is a controlled tooth whitening that is carried out directly in the dental practice. This method uses highly effective bleaching agents that are applied under professional supervision. In contrast to home bleaching products, the effect is much stronger, while side effects such as gum irritation or temporary temperature sensitivity are rare.
Bleaching in our dental practice offers decisive advantages:
Maximum safety: Our whitening products are particularly gentle and are used under dental supervision to minimize side effects such as tooth sensitivity.
Individual customization: We adapt the treatment exactly to your tooth structure and your wishes.
Effective results: Professional whitening gels contain higher concentrations of active ingredients that allow for deeper whitening.

Procedure of the treatment: from consultation to aftercare
In our Munich practice, the focus is on comprehensive advice. In a detailed preliminary examination, we check the condition of your teeth and gums to ensure that there are no health concerns. Please keep in mind that we can only whiten natural teeth, not crowns and fillings.
At the beginning of the actual treatment, a thorough tooth cleaning is carried out. Lips and gums are then covered to avoid contact with the bleach. The bleaching gel is applied in several passes until the desired degree of whitening is achieved. After about 40 minutes to an hour, the treatment is completed with a special varnish to seal the enamel.
After the treatment, you will receive individual recommendations for aftercare. Optionally, we provide you with special splints and care products to maintain the achieved tooth color in the long term.
Whitening of root canal treated teeth
If, for example, teeth are discolored from the inside out due to medication or diseases, such as root canal treated or dead teeth, whitening is only possible through internal bleaching. First, the upper part of the root canal filling is gently removed and then the bleaching agent is introduced directly into the tooth. In this way, the discoloration can be treated from the inside to whiten the tooth.
The tooth is then temporarily closed. The gel remains in the tooth for a few days while the desired degree of whitening is achieved. If necessary, the process is repeated until the desired degree of whitening is achieved before the tooth is closed again with a definitive filling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a whitening result last?
The durability of professional bleaching depends heavily on your lifestyle habits. With good oral hygiene and avoiding strong coloring substances such as coffee, tea or tobacco, the results can last up to two years. Regular professional dental cleanings also help to maintain the brightness of the teeth.
Is bleaching suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is suitable for bleaching. We do not recommend treatment for:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Severely damaged tooth enamel or extremely sensitive teeth
- Tooth decay or gum disease (these should be treated in advance)
- Large fillings or crowns in the anterior tooth area, as these cannot be whitened
If you are unsure whether bleaching is an option for you, we will be happy to advise you.
How much does bleaching cost?
The costs for professional bleaching in our practice in Munich vary depending on the procedure and individual effort. We will be happy to provide you with a transparent cost plan after a personal consultation.
Does bleaching cause pain?
Thanks to our gentle methods, bleaching is usually painless. Occasionally, there may be temporary sensitivity of the teeth, but this quickly subsides.
What should I consider after bleaching?
For optimal results, you should avoid strongly colouring foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and sauces for the first 48 hours. Tooth-friendly care helps to maintain the result in the long term.
