Teeth Whitening in Lima

What is teeth whitening?

It is a cosmetic treatment that lightens teeth that have darkened due to age, food, drinks (coffee, wine, tea), tobacco or certain lifestyle habits. Whitening can give you a brighter, more even shade, while keeping your enamel healthy when it is done under specialist supervision.

What types of whitening do we offer?

In-office Philips Zoom whitening

We apply a whitening gel, with barriers that protect your gums, which is activated by the LED light of the Philips Zoom Professional system. It is a single session of about one hour, divided into 3 to 4 cycles of 15 minutes, and can lighten your teeth by several shades.

Custom at-home kits

We make trays to fit your teeth and include a special gel. They are worn for about 25 minutes a day for one week. They are also an effective, convenient option for maintaining your results.

Both methods can be used separately or combined for better results.

What should you know before whitening your teeth?

Whitening only works on natural teeth: it does not lighten composite fillings, crowns, veneers or amalgam fillings. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, they will keep their original color and may look lighter or darker than the rest.

That is why, after whitening, it is often advisable to replace those restorations to match the new shade. We usually wait about 15 days for the color to stabilize.

Whitening is not suitable in every case. Before treatment we check for:

• Active cavities or leaking restorations.
• Gum disease or exposed roots.
• Marked tooth sensitivity.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Patients under 18.

At your evaluation we review your case and tell you whether whitening is the best option, or whether it is better to combine it with tooth-colored fillings or veneers.

How should you care for your teeth after whitening?

• Avoid foods and drinks high in pigments (coffee, red wine, curry, etc.) in the days after treatment.
• Avoid exposing your teeth to extreme temperatures (very cold or very hot) right after treatment.
• Keep up good oral hygiene: regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups.
• Have touch-ups if needed to maintain the shade you want.
