A professional alternative to bleaching with peroxide

Comparison of peroxide-containing and peroxide-free bleaching

Peroxide-containing bleaching compared to peroxide-free bleaching differs fundamentally in the chemistry used and the effects on dental health. Bleaching methods that use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide are widely used and known for their effectiveness in whitening teeth. These bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and oxidise the colour pigments trapped there, resulting in visible whitening. However, such products can also lead to side effects such as tooth sensitivity and irritation of the gums, especially if the gums come into contact with the bleaching gel.

In contrast, peroxide-free whitening methods, such as those used at ALPINE WHITE, rely on gentler alternatives that effectively whiten teeth without the risks and side effects associated with peroxides. These products use alternative active ingredients that remove discolouration without penetrating the enamel or irritating the gums. These gentler bleaching products are particularly suitable for people with sensitive teeth or existing gum disease. Whilst the results may be slightly more subtle than peroxide-based methods, they offer a safer option for long-term dental health and aesthetics.

Introduction to Professional Teeth Whitening at ALPINE WHITE

At ALPINE WHITE, we understand the importance of a radiant smile and how it can boost self-confidence. That's why we offer advanced whitening treatments performed by specially trained dental hygienists, away from the traditional dental practice. Our methods are specifically designed to be gentle on enamel and kind to gums, making them ideal for clients with sensitive teeth. This gentle approach is particularly beneficial for people with exposed tooth necks or those who have already experienced gum inflammation.

Our goal is to achieve whiter teeth without the risks often associated with more aggressive power whitening methods. Traditional whitening procedures offered in a dental practice can sometimes lead to hypersensitivity, especially when strong whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide are used. These substances can expose the dentin that lies beneath the enamel, causing pain and long-term damage.

ALPINE WHITE offers a gentle alternative that preserves the natural protection of the teeth and yet effectively combats tooth discolouration caused by stimulants such as coffee, tea or red wine. Our treatments are designed to achieve a radiant smile in a short space of time, without the need for invasive methods such as veneers or extensive dental procedures.

In addition to bleaching treatment, we emphasise thorough dental care and the use of special toothpastes that not only whiten teeth but also protect them. We also offer special plastic trays that can be used after professional teeth cleaning to maintain the result and minimise new discolouration. Our customised trays fit perfectly and offer a comfortable alternative to the often bulky trays available in drugstores.

Our professional whitening is a safe and effective way to achieve healthy and white teeth in a short time, without the usual risks of a dental practice. At ALPINE WHITE, we want every client to have a healthy and bright smile that not only looks beautiful, but also promotes overall oral health.

Important considerations before bleaching treatment

Before beginning any whitening treatment, there are several important aspects that should be considered to ensure that the treatment is effective and safe. Firstly, it is crucial that a thorough dental examination is carried out. Our dental experts should check to see if any decay is present or if root canal treatment is needed, as these conditions will need to be addressed before teeth whitening. If root canal treatment is required, we will refer you to a dentist we trust.

It is also important to assess the condition of any existing fillings. Fillings, especially older or discoloured ones, do not react to the whitening gel and may stand out after treatment compared to the rest of the whitened tooth. Individuals with many fillings or other dental work should discuss their options and expectations to achieve the desired result.

In addition, it is essential to analyse the condition of the discoloured teeth. Not all discolourations can be improved by bleaching. Deep-seated discolouration that may have been caused by medication or certain diseases may be more resistant to bleaching methods. A professional assessment will help determine what type of bleaching would be most effective or whether alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers might be a better solution.

Professional teeth cleaning before teeth whitening

A professional teeth cleaning is essential before any bleaching treatment begins. Our dental hygienists will carry out a thorough cleaning to remove plaque, tartar and external pigments that have built up on the tooth surface. This cleaning not only ensures that the whitening gel works more effectively, but also improves overall oral hygiene.

The advantages of in-office whitening at ALPINE WHITE

Our Studios in Zurich and throughout Switzerland use state-of-the-art technologies and methods for whitening that are not based on aggressive peroxides. Instead, we use special bleaching gels that effectively combat discolouration without damaging the tooth enamel. This method minimises the risk of gum irritation and protects against hypersensitivity - a common problem with conventional bleaching methods.

Home bleaching: a flexible solution

In addition to our in-office treatments, we also offer home bleaching products. These products are perfect for those who want to whiten their tooth colour gently and in the privacy of their own home. Our bundles contain everything needed for safe teeth whitening and are recommended by our experts to achieve optimal results. Our products range from Whitening Strips to Sonic Toothbrushes and Whitening Toothpastes.

Long-term care after bleaching

Bleaching is a process that requires patience and time to achieve the desired result. It is important to understand that an immediate transformation is rare; rather, the tooth colour improves gradually over several sessions. Depending on the initial colour and individual circumstances, such as the density of the tooth enamel and the presence of discolouration, it can take different lengths of time for the teeth to achieve the optimum whitening. At ALPINE WHITE, we guide our clients through this process by setting realistic expectations and working step-by-step towards the desired result to ensure that teeth whitening is both effective and safe.

After the whitening treatment, we recommend a special care routine to maintain the new tooth colour and support dental health. This includes the use of toothpastes that are gentle on the teeth, regular brushing and the use of complementary products such as whitening strips and whitening toothpaste, such as our Whitening Toothpaste Extra White.
