Why do teeth lose their brightness?
- Coffee, tea, red wine and certain foods cause progressive staining.
- Smoking, certain medications and natural aging darken the dentin.
- Old restorations, trauma or worn enamel may also play a role.
The protocol at Le Chesnay
Every whitening starts with a complete oral check-up to make sure the teeth and the gums are healthy. Cavities or large restorations are addressed beforehand to guarantee a safe and even result.
- Complete consultation: oral health, shade analysis, expectations.
- Professional in-chair whitening, controlled and monitored.
- Custom trays for home maintenance over several days.
Avoiding sensitivity
A modern whitening protocol respects the enamel and includes desensitizing care before and after the treatment. Most patients only feel mild, temporary sensitivity, which fades within 24 to 48 hours.
Whitening, veneers or both?
When the only goal is to brighten naturally shaped teeth, whitening alone is often enough. When tooth shape, alignment or chipped edges are also a concern, veneers can complement the result.
Dr Murciano's role is to recommend the most conservative option that matches your expectations.
