Teeth Whitening Treatment in Stockholm – At Home or In the Clinic
Dreaming of a brighter smile? At Gloss & Floss Dental Care® in Stockholm, we provide professional teeth whitening treatment in two safe options: fast in-clinic whitening (Zoom) and custom at-home trays. Our dentists and hygienists guide you to the solution that suits your teeth, lifestyle, and goals.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a gentle cosmetic treatment that breaks down stains from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, aging, or certain medications. The aim is a whiter yet natural result that protects enamel and respects your oral health.
Which Method Fits You Best? – In-Clinic vs. At-Home Whitening
| Method | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| In-Clinic Whitening (Zoom) | Fast, visible results in 60–90 minutes. Performed by trained clinicians with gum protection. Ideal before events or when time matters. | Temporary sensitivity can occur. Higher one-time cost than at-home. |
| At-Home Whitening (Custom Trays) | Flexible use at home. Trays are made to fit your teeth precisely. Gradual, controlled shade change. Cost-effective over time and easy to top up. | Takes longer to reach the final shade. Important to follow instructions carefully. |
How Treatment Works at Gloss & Floss
1) Pre-Whitening Dental Check
We first examine your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is safe and effective. If needed, we may recommend a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar for an even result (tartar removal).
2) In-Clinic Whitening (Zoom)
- Protective barriers are applied to gums and soft tissue.
- Whitening gel activated with LED light (Zoom by Philips).
- Typical chair time: 60–90 minutes.
- Immediate shade improvement and aftercare instructions.
3) At-Home Whitening (Custom Trays)
- Precise impressions or scans for your trays.
- Professional gel and clear step-by-step guidance.
- Typical wear time: 4–6 hours/day for 5–10 days.
- Follow-up review and tips for top-ups.
Safety, Sensitivity & Aftercare
- All materials are EU-approved and used under professional supervision.
- Sensitivity is usually mild and temporary; we can recommend desensitizing products if needed.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid strongly colored food and drink (e.g., coffee, red wine, berries) and tobacco.
- Maintain results with excellent daily care and regular hygiene visits (see preventive measures).
Cost & Duration: What to Expect
Fees vary depending on the method and starting shade. In-clinic whitening delivers the fastest change in a single visit; at-home trays spread treatment over several days and are easier to top up later. For a personal estimate, book a dental consultation.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Adults with healthy teeth and gums.
- Extrinsic stains (food/drink/tobacco) respond best; internal discoloration may need alternatives such as ICON treatment for white spots or restorative options.
- Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Better Breath, Brighter Smile
Freshness often improves when stains and plaque are managed alongside whitening. If you notice a persistent odour, see our page on bad breath (halitosis) for causes and solutions.
FAQ – Teeth Whitening Treatment
How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Stockholm?
Costs depend on the method and your starting shade. In-clinic whitening is a single, longer visit, whereas at-home trays are spread over several days and are easier to top up later. For an accurate quote, book a short consultation.
Is at-home whitening as effective as in-clinic whitening?
Both are effective when supervised by a dentist. In-clinic whitening achieves faster results in one appointment, while at-home trays provide gradual change and easier maintenance.
Does teeth whitening damage enamel?
Used as directed under professional guidance, whitening gels do not harm enamel. Mild, temporary sensitivity can occur and is manageable with tailored products and adjusted wear times.
How long do results last?
Typically 1–3 years, depending on diet, habits, and oral hygiene. Regular professional cleanings and occasional top-ups help you keep your new shade longer.
What should I avoid after whitening?
For the first 24 hours, avoid dark foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, soy sauce, berries) and tobacco. Rinse with water after meals, and follow your personalized aftercare plan.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes—often with a tailored protocol: lower-strength gel, shorter wear times, desensitizing agents, and careful monitoring by our team.
