The Search for the Ideal Method

Teeth whitening is undoubtedly an effective method for brightening discolored teeth. But how do you decide amidst the plethora of methods? From professional products to home remedies to dental treatments - the options are vast, and dental health should be your top priority when making the decision.

Power Bleaching: Efficient yet Damaging

Power Bleaching is a dental method for rapid teeth whitening, using a highly concentrated carbamide gel with up to 35% hydrogen peroxide. While this treatment promises visible results in a short time, it carries some disadvantages and risks.

During the Power Bleaching procedure, the gums and lips are covered for protection before the highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth and activated by LED light (or UV light). This gel penetrates deep into the teeth and can effectively remove stubborn stains from substances like cigarettes, coffee, or red wine.

However, it's important to note that this method has aggressive effects on the tooth surface and can damage tooth structure. This can lead to tooth sensitivity and discomfort both during and after the treatment. For this reason, at ALPINE WHITE, we recommend gentler methods that achieve similar results without jeopardizing dental health.

ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching - Gentle and Safe

At our ALPINE WHITE studios, we offer professional bleaching that is not only effective but also free from harmful ingredients like peroxide. With our In-Office Bleaching procedure, you can brighten your teeth by an astonishing 7 shades.

Our patented bleaching gel contains the active ingredient Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid, or PAP for short. PAP is a gentle bleaching agent that has been proven to effectively whiten teeth without harming the inner or outer tooth structure. Tooth enamel remains smooth, and tooth hard substance remains unchanged. This allows you to achieve beautiful white teeth without irritation and without jeopardizing your dental health.

Since our whitening formula does not contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, the treatment is virtually pain-free. Depending on the initial color of your teeth, more than one session may be necessary to achieve the desired tooth shade.

Our experienced dental hygienists are ready to provide you with professional and personalized advice. Schedule an appointment online now and experience the difference at ALPINE WHITE! Enjoy a white smile with no compromises on your dental health.

Home bleaching - convenient & long-term

For those who appreciate the comfort of their own homes, ALPINE WHITE offers Home Bleaching methods. Here, you can conveniently use special Whitening Strips or Whitening Kits at home. The ingredients are similar to those of In-Office Bleaching, but the application takes place in a private setting, and the bleaching agent is lower in concentration. Your dental health should always be the primary concern. Here are a few of our Home Bleaching products by ALPINE WHITE:

The Whitening Strips

With the Whitening Strips, you can achieve teeth that are up to 7 shades whiter in just 7 days. The Whitening Strips are suitable for all tooth positions and provide a long-lasting and safe teeth whitening solution. Wear the strips for 1-2 hours a day to achieve optimal results. These strips are also perfect for whitening on the go. You can easily engage in activities like sports, cooking, train rides, or attend meetings while wearing them since the strips are transparent, barely noticeable, and allow you to speak normally (known as the 'Walking-Bleach method').

The Whitening Kit

With our Whitening Kit, you can brighten your teeth at home in just 15 minutes a day, providing a long-term and gentle solution. By using the UV-light kit (plastic trays with UV light), your teeth will become whiter faster compared to using the strips. So, if you want to whiten your teeth quickly, the Whitening Kit is the perfect choice for you. The kit is also suitable for all tooth positions, and the whitening gel is a gentle care for your teeth.

The Colour Corrector Serum

Our Colour Corrector Serum gives you brilliantly white teeth in just 2 minutes. The purple dental serum neutralizes yellowish color pigments, delivering the desired result. Applying the Colour Corrector Serum is simple; just apply it to your toothbrush and brush your teeth for 2 minutes. The effect is immediately visible - your tooth color is significantly brighter, and the tooth surface is smooth. The serum is not only effective for whitening your teeth but also promotes optimal dental health. With the Colour Corrector, you achieve an instant effect in no time.

Whitening Toothpaste Extra White

Make our Whitening Toothpaste Extra White a permanent part of your oral care routine. Your teeth will become whiter day by day. Achieve maximum whitening with every brushing. This toothpaste contains activated charcoal and optical blue light filters that combat teeth discoloration. With this toothpaste, you'll achieve an extra white smile.

Also, consider exploring our other toothpaste options. For sensitivity, for example, our Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Relief is the perfect choice for you.

The Importance of Dental Care

Daily Dental Care at Home

No matter which method you choose, proper dental care is crucial to maintain those dazzling white results. Regular brushing, a balanced diet, and avoiding causes of discoloration are essential for the teeth whitening process. Our whitening toothpastes are your perfect companions to sustain the bleaching results and create a perfect foundation for teeth whitening.

Don't forget to clean the spaces between your teeth daily with dental floss and interdental brushes, and use mouthwash.

Also, be mindful of consuming items like tobacco and red wine, either in moderation or not at all.

Professional dental cleaning

Before an ALPINE WHITE bleaching treatment, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene. Healthy teeth are the foundation for successful bleaching and achieving the desired results. Tooth discoloration, plaque, and tartar can affect the bleaching process and negatively impact the final outcome. Regular professional dental cleanings are crucial steps to ensure that your teeth are in the best possible condition – clean, healthy, and free from cavities. We want to prevent you from needing costly treatments in the future, such as fillings, root canals, dental prosthetics, or veneers.

The last dental hygiene appointment should not have been more than 2 months before your ALPINE WHITE bleaching appointment. This is necessary to achieve good results after a professional tooth whitening treatment. Good oral hygiene and minimizing the risk of cavities are crucial for promoting dental health and ensuring a successful bleaching procedure.
