Studio Lucerne

How can I book an appointment?

You can easily book your appointment online. Visit our website and choose between Dental Hygiene, Bleaching and Oral Health Checkup.

How can I pay for my treatment?

Our Studios are cashless. This means that you can only pay with a card, Twint or Apple Pay.

If I have a pre-existing condition, can I still come to the Studio?

If you have a pre-existing condition, it is best to come in for an Oral Health Checkup first, where we can scan your mouth and suggest your ideal treatment plan.

If you suspect periodontitis or another dental problem, X-rays can be taken at one of our partner dental practices. These will then be analysed by our specialist staff and dental hygiene can be carried out to suit your conditions. During our dental hygiene, we offer a thorough tongue cleaning as well as deep scaling, which also involves cleaning the gum pockets.

Depending on your previous illness, a written confirmation from your treating doctor may also be necessary.

Do you work with dentists?

We work purely preventively, so treatments are carried out exclusively by dental hygienists and dental professionals. If a dental problem is suspected, we will refer you to a dentist if you wish.

The dentist will be able to make a diagnosis based on our recorded findings and, if dental procedures are necessary, discuss the next steps with you.

Are your services recognised by the insurance company?

After your treatment, you will receive an insurance receipt for billing your health insurance company. It is best to clarify directly with your insurance company whether and to what extent your insurance company will cover the costs of the treatment.

How strong is the whitening effect and how long does it last?

If you have recently whitened or are starting with a lighter tooth shade, you can expect excellent results. However, if you start with a shade lower than A2, you may need to schedule two teeth whitening sessions about three months apart to achieve the desired level of white teeth.

To keep your teeth white, you need to have a dental routine that you follow on a daily basis. With the right lifestyle and good dental hygiene, you can maintain your bright smile for up to 18 months! With a routine such as regular brushing with our Whitening Toothpastes or regular use of Whitening Strips, you can prevent discolouration for even longer. For an extra brightness boost, Charcoal Powder is another great way to preserve tooth colour. If you're not sure, contact our expert staff at the ALPINE WHITE Studio Lucerne.

What do I have to consider when whitening my teeth and how can I optimise the result?

During a bleaching session, your teeth are whitened and discolouration is removed. We want you to achieve the desired result and understand what you can expect from your visit to the Studio in Lucerne.

Bleaching in Lucerne and all our other studios uses a safe, peroxide-free method to give you a white smile in no time. Get gleaming white teeth without pain.

Before whitening

To ensure that your teeth whitening in Lucerne is successful, please refrain from eating any discolouring foods for up to two hours before your appointment. It is also important to fill out our health questionnaire so that we can optimally tailor your bleaching treatment to you.

Ensure the best possible results with a combination package! The professional teeth cleaning included in the combination package removes tartar, plaque and biofilm from the surface of your teeth for optimal whitening results. If you book the combination package, you can save 30 Swiss francs.

During bleaching

The bleaching gel without peroxides from ALPINE WHITE enables you to whiten your teeth in Lucerne without pain. The innovative gel gently penetrates the tooth surface, targets discoloured pigments and whitens the teeth in just four 15-minute rounds - perfect for anyone who wants to achieve a radiant smile with minimal effort!

Do you have veneers, fillings or other dental restorations? Then professional teeth whitening will only bring them back to their original colour. In this case, it is best to book dental hygiene and treat your teeth at home with Charcoal Powder or our Whitening Toothpastes, which will also lighten your tooth colour. With the Whitening Toothpastes you can also protect yourself against tooth decay.

Immediately after treatment

Do not consume any dark-pigmented foods, drinks or mouthwashes and do not smoke cigarettes for the next few days to ensure excellent results.

Long-term result

You can continue to whiten your teeth at home. The rule is: healthy teeth are white teeth. Make sure you take good care of your teeth and maintain optimal oral hygiene. Apply our whitening strips for seven days for 1 hour each, which you will receive free of charge with your whitening treatment in Lucerne. In addition, you can incorporate one of our Whitening Toothpastes into your dental routine to further enhance the whitening effect.

What is the difference between ALPINE WHITE bleaching and peroxide bleaching?

Power bleaching is a common procedure in dentistry, but the powerful peroxides can lead to some serious side effects, including enamel erosion and severe pain that affects not only the teeth but also their roots. This extreme sensitivity keeps many people from power whitening treatments.

In-Office Bleaching in Lucerne Studio, on the other hand, is a much more pleasant experience. ALPINE WHITE In-Office Bleaching Gel is based on our whitening formulation, which has been fine-tuned for professional use. The gel causes no pain, is not harmful to your tooth structure and does not cause gum inflammation. The whitening gel breaks down colour pigments and you can say goodbye to discolouration.

The reason why ALPINE WHITE bleaching is a more pleasant experience is that the Bleaching Gel in Studio Lucerne does not use peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. The whitening process is painless. Neither tooth enamel nor gums are damaged. In contrast to bleaching in the dentist's office, the whitening agent is not activated with light and is, therefore, more pleasant to perform.

Info: We do not offer bleaching with dental trays, but specialise in in-office bleaching.

What is the difference between in-office bleaching and home bleaching?

At ALPINE WHITE you can choose between two whitening methods. On the one hand, we offer you in-office bleaching and on the other hand home bleaching.

In-office bleaching is fast and effective and is carried out on-site, for example in our Studio in Lucerne. We have other ALPINE WHITE Studios throughout Switzerland.

Home bleaching, on the contrary, is a method that can be done at home. For home bleaching, you can find various bleaching products in our webshop, in our Studio or from our partners.

For a radiant smile in a short time, in-office bleaching is the perfect solution. With bleaching in Lucerne, you can achieve faster results under professional supervision. However, at-home bleaching is cheaper and more convenient when it comes to combating tooth discolouration. Ultimately, you have to decide which method suits your lifestyle and budget! 

Why do our teeth become discoloured?

Tooth discolouration is a common problem that can be caused by dietary habits or other behaviours, especially stimulants. Certain drinks, foods, smoking and even the ageing process can discolour teeth over time. In addition to these external factors, diseases or injuries in the oral cavity can also contribute to teeth that are no longer quite as radiant. 

How much does bleaching cost in Lucerne?

At our Studio, you benefit from fair prices. A bleaching in the ALPINE WHITE Studio in Lucerne and all other studios costs CHF 295. There are no additional costs.

How can I book an appointment?

You can easily book your appointment online. Visit our website and choose between Dental Hygiene, Bleaching and Oral Health Checkup. Our Studio Lucerne is located at Pilatusstrasse 22, which is very close to Lucerne train station.

What are the prerequisites for dental hygiene?

Dental hygiene is generally possible and recommended for everyone. 

If you are unsure whether you should have your teeth professionally cleaned due to a pre-existing condition such as periodontitis, then book an Oral Health Checkup. Our dental professionals such as a dental hygienist in the ALPINE WHITE Studio Lucerne will check your oral cavity and can help you straight away.

Can professional dental cleaning be carried out on dental restorations etc.?

Dental hygiene is also possible if you have veneers, braces, aligners or other dental prostheses. It is recommended that you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least once a year to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.

It is important to have regular check-ups to make sure your dentures and implants stay in good condition and are not damaged or detached. The dental hygienist at Studio Luzern can also provide additional recommendations for cleaning and caring for your dentures.

What is done during a dental hygiene session?

Our experienced dental professionals such as dental hygienists will check your oral health. The assessment is followed by your personal oral hygiene programme. During our dental hygiene, we do not take X-rays but use a special light technique to detect caries. With the gentle brushing technique, AIRFLOW technology, microbial plaque on the tooth surface is removed and interdental spaces are cleaned. With the piezon-no-pain method, tartar and stubborn discolouration don't stand a chance. Finally, your teeth are treated with fluoride varnish and polished to delay the formation of plaque and caries.

Why are regular professional teeth cleaning important?

Regular check-ups and dental hygiene are important to keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you don't clean your teeth regularly, bacteria can build up on your teeth and gum pockets, leading to plaque. Over time, this plaque can develop cavities, attack tooth enamel and cause cavities in your teeth. If plaque remains on the teeth, it also hardens over time into yellow tartar, which can also only be removed by dental hygiene.

Regular dental hygiene is also essential for healthy gums. The bacteria in plaque can also affect the gums and cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). If left untreated, these inflammations can lead to bleeding gums, receding gums and even tooth loss or periodontal disease.

In addition to dental hygiene, regular at-home teeth cleaning with ALPINE WHITE products will help keep your periodontium healthy. Brushing and flossing remove plaque and bacteria, keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

Does dental hygiene help against bad breath?

Dental hygiene not only helps to ensure healthy teeth but also helps to relieve bad breath (halitosis). This is because bad breath is often caused by the bacterial decomposition of food debris in the oral cavity. If this food debris is not removed, it can lead to a build-up of bacteria that produce sulphur compounds, causing bad breath. During dental hygiene, hidden food debris is thoroughly removed.

Can I have a bleaching treatment directly after dental prophylaxis?

Yes, it is even recommended to have dental hygiene performed before a tooth whitening. For this, we have our combination package. This way you get optimal dental health and beautiful teeth. We also offer home bleaching products.

Do you also do orthodontics or root canal treatments?

No, we do not do orthodontics or root canals. Our focus is on aesthetic dentistry. However, we can refer you to a Dr. Med. Dent. Dentist or a Dr. Med. Dent. Dentist in a dental practice.

How can I book an appointment and how much does dental hygiene in Lucerne cost?

You can easily book your appointment online. Visit our website and choose between Dental Hygiene, Bleaching and Oral Health Checkup. Our ALPINE WHITE Studio Lucerne is located at Pilatusstrasse 22, close to Lucerne train station. At our Lucerne Studio and all other Swiss Studios, you benefit from fair prices. Dental hygiene at ALPINE WHITE costs CHF 185.

What does the Oral Health Checkup procedure look like?

First, a visual inspection of your face is carried out, in which the jaw and neck area is palpated. Then your tongue, oral mucosa and throat are examined. We check your gums and jawbone with various measurements and carry out a caries check. Finally, we check the position of your teeth, because misalignments can lead to caries and inflammation in the oral cavity.

What should I look out for after the dental check-up?

Our dental experts will point out all the important points. However, remember to brush your teeth, interdental spaces and tongue regularly and to visit us in the Studio Lucerne at least once a year for dental hygiene.

If there is any suspicion of caries, we will provide you with your records digitally and refer you to a dentist we trust if you wish. 

Why is a regular dental check-up important?

If you feel unsure about your dental and oral hygiene, you should come in for an Oral Health Checkup. We will check your oral health and can help you further. In dentistry, an annual dental check-up is recommended to prevent toothache and damage. You should also arrange for a professional dental cleaning, which you can also have at our Studio Lucerne or any other ALPINE WHITE Studio.

Our aim is to detect changes in the oral cavity, potential gum disease, periodontitis or signs of caries at an early stage. We will support you with advice. 

What distinguishes the Oral Health Checkup in Studio Lucerne from a dental treatment?

A visit to our Studio in Lucerne will not remind you of a visit to a dentist's office. Our Studios are stylish and modern. You can easily book your appointment online.

What other treatments are offered at the ALPINE WHITE Studio?

In addition to the Oral Health Checkup, you can also have a dental hygiene or bleaching treatment at our Studio. These treatments are possible for everyone and are gentle on the teeth. What is important to know about whitening is that fillings, veneers and other dental implants are not whitened, they only reach their original colour. Nevertheless, the treatment can be carried out even if you wear aligners or have ceramic fillings. 

At ALPINE WHITE we do not offer root canal treatment, implantology or oral surgery. 

Do you work with dentists?

We work purely preventatively, so all treatments are carried out exclusively by dental professionals. If there is any suspicion of a dental problem, dental accident and so on, we will refer you to a dental practice in Switzerland if you wish.

How much does a dental check-up at ALPINE WHITE in Studio Lucerne cost?

The check-up at the ALPINE WHITE Studio in the canton of Lucerne and all other Swiss Studios costs CHF 95.

What is tooth jewellery?

Tooth jewellery consists of small gemstones and is attached to the surface of the tooth with special glue. With the tooth jewellery, you can give your smile an extra sparkle. You can choose between 1 or more gemstones.

Tooth jewellery can also be applied to veneers, dental implants and fillings. However, it depends on the type of veneers or implantology and the tooth jewellery. But not with removable dentures. It's best to get advice from our dental experts beforehand.

What is the treatment procedure for tooth jewellery and what do I have to look out for afterwards?

Book an appointment for Studio Lucerne via our website. 

You can choose whether you would like to have the tooth jewellery applied during a single treatment or during dental hygiene.

As soon as the treatment starts at our Studio Lucerne, your tooth surface will be cleaned with gentle AIRFLOW. Then your enamel is prepared with our special adhesive so that the jewellery lasts for a long time and no discolouring stains form. It is important to know that our glue is especially tooth-friendly and long-lasting. This way, your sparkling and radiant smile can be healthy and long-lasting.

The selected gemstones are glued on with the tooth-friendly special adhesive and cured with light. The application is done without damaging the tooth structure. It takes about 15 minutes per tartar.

As soon as the treatment is over, you can enjoy your new, radiant smile with dental jewellery.

How long does the dental jewellery last and how do I remove it?

The durability of dental jewellery varies. It can fall off after 6 months or last for several years. For example, in the case of an incorrect bite, the jewellery can be torn off. However, at ALPINE WHITE we give you a guarantee if the jewellery falls off within the first 2 months.

You don't want the jewellery anymore? Then you can simply remove it. You don't have to go to a dentist's office. Visit our Studio for a dental cleaning and our dental experts can easily remove the jewellery. Thanks to professional teeth cleaning, all adhesive residue is gently removed and the tooth surface becomes sparkling clean thanks to airflow and fluoridation.

Is tooth jewellery harmful to the teeth?

No, tooth jewellery is not harmful to teeth. The adhesive ensures that the jewellery remains on your teeth for as long as possible without harming your teeth. Our professionals are trained to apply the jewellery so that it does not pose a risk to the surface of your teeth or gums. 

Can I take my jewellery to my dental hygienist?

Yes, even with dental jewellery you are welcome to come to the ALPINE WHITE Studio for a professional dental cleaning. You can also avoid the need for a dentist in Lucerne. 

It is very important that you take good care of your teeth. However, professional dental cleaning does not clean the tooth underneath the jewellery. 

Professional dental cleaning in our Studio allows you to keep your teeth healthy and protects you from tooth decay. This way you can ensure healthy teeth. 

You would like to have whiter teeth through tooth whitening and are unsure whether this will work with the tooth jewellery?

Home bleaching or professional teeth whitening can be done despite tartar. If you want to whiten your teeth, you should either use our ALPINE WHITE products or visit our Studio in Lucerne for in-office bleaching. This is because we work with a peroxide-free bleaching gel that not only whitens your teeth but also protects and cares for them.

It is important to know that the tooth under the stone is not whitened.

How can I book an appointment for dental jewellery in Lucerne and how much do the dental stones cost?

You can easily book your appointment online. Combine your tooth jewellery appointment with dental hygiene. Dental hygiene costs CHF 50. Our ALPINE WHITE Studio Lucerne is located close to Lucerne train station. At our Lucerne Studio and all other Swiss studios, you benefit from fair prices.
