Teeth Whitening by 3D Tandarts at Schiedam Centrum Station

Teeth whitening is basically suitable for adults with healthy teeth.
Among other things, we pay attention to: no untreated holes or active gingivitis; no large leaking fillings in the bleaching area; no pregnancy or breastfeeding; realistic expectations in terms of results.
Important to know: Fillings, crowns and veneers do not discolour with you with bleaching. Sometimes it is necessary to replace certain fillings after bleaching for a nice even result. Very dark discolourations (e.g. after trauma or certain medication) react less predictably. Smoking and a lot of coffee/tea again accelerate discolouration; we recommend cutting down or quitting whenever possible.
During the intake we discuss whether bleaching is wise in your situation and which method is best suited.

3D Dentist works with enrolled patients. Thus, we can not only help you with a whiter smile, but also provide a good, long-term oral health.
Step 1 - Register as a new patient
Through our website, you can easily register online.
Step 2 - Intake & bleaching consultation
During your first appointment:
we first assess the health of your teeth. Teeth whitening is only possible with healthy and clean teeth;
we discuss your wishes for a whiter smile;
we advise you on bleaching in practice or home bleaching;
you receive a clear explanation of the treatment and the promotional price
Step 3- Start of the threatment
At-home whitening: we create custom trays and you receive all materials and instructions to take home.
In the clinic: we often whiten your teeth during the same appointment, or we schedule a short follow-up session.

Yes, provided it is done under the supervision of a dentist and with professional products.
At 3D Dentist, we always start with a intake and we first assess the health of your teeth. Teeth whitening is only possible at a healthy and clean teeth.
We use controlled bleaching gels and protect the gums as much as possible, making the treatment safe and predictable.
Possible side effects include: temporary sensitivity to cold/hot; sometimes slight irritation of the gums when gel gets past the edge.
These symptoms are usually mild and disappear within a few days. If necessary, we adjust the schedule or the contact time.

At bleaching in practice: you come to the chair at 3D Dentist; we apply the gel and activate these with a diode laser; will have you in about 30 minutes a clearly visible result.
At At-home whitening: we make custom-made whitening trays;; you will be given bleaching gel to take home; wear the dentures on schedule, usually during approximately 2 weeks, for a gradual brightening of the colour.
Together with you, we look at which method best suits your teeth, wishes and schedule.
The action price is equal for either pathway (to be chosen by mutual agreement).

In in-office treatment, we use a dental diode laser to apply the bleaching gel to the teeth activate.
Benefits include: the treatment is fast and efficient; gel is activated evenly on the treated surface; you need to sit in the chair for less time.
The laser itself does not “whiten teeth”; it is mainly the bleaching gel doing the work. The diode laser supports the process and helps achieve predictable results in a short time.

During treatment, most people mainly feel little to nothing, at most some tingling or cold sensitivity.
After bleaching, you can temporarily: sensitive teeth have when cold/warm; briefly feel some “shooting”. This is usually mild and disappears within a few days.
If necessary, we can: build in intervals if you suffer a lot; adjust the schedule (when bleaching at home); advise on suitable sensitivity toothpaste;

The result varies from person to person, but on average the colour remains some years lighter. This strongly depends on: your eating and drinking habits (coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks); or you smoke(t) or not; your oral hygiene and regular professional cleaning.
Over time, a short “refresher treatment” (e.g. a short home bleaching course with bits) may be enough to reinforce the effect again.

No. Composite fillings, crowns, bridges and veneers do not discolour along with the bleaching treatment.
That means: old, discoloured restorations after bleaching more conspicuous can be; it is sometimes necessary to replace one or more fillings/facings to make the colour nice and even again.
We always discuss this in advance during the intake so there are no surprises.

Teeth whitening is basically for adults with healthy teeth. We usually do not bleach in cases of: untreated cavities or active gingivitis; severe wear or erosion without addressing the cause first; pregnancy or breastfeeding (as a precaution); very sensitive teeth, without discussing this properly first.
In doubt? During the intake we review your situation and give honest advice Whether bleaching is wise.

Yes, that is highly recommended.
For a nice and even result it is important that: tartar and deposits are removed as much as possible; the surface of the teeth clean and smooth .
This is why we often combine a bleaching process with a professional dental cleaning, either just before or in a recent check-up appointment.

The normal price for our professional bleaching treatment (at the practice or a complete home bleaching programme) is € 380.
With the current action pay newly enrolled patients temporarily 50% less, so € 190.
Teeth whitening is in most cases a cosmetic treatment and is usually non-reimbursed from the basic insurance. Sometimes there is (partial) reimbursement from a supplementary dental insurance, but this varies by policy. We recommend checking with your insurer beforehand.
If you not yet a patient of 3D Dentist, you will also need to do an intake. The cost of this is usually between €60 and €180, depending on your situation. The intake and radiographs are usually covered by your supplementary dental insurance.
