What exactly is professional teeth whitening?
Tooth whitening is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment which lightens the natural color of your teeth several shades through the controlled use of specific whitening agents, mainly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in professional concentrations.
Benefits of professional teeth whitening:
- Effective lightening of various shades in a short time
- Complete preservation of tooth structure (non-invasive treatment)
- Professional supervision to ensure safety and results
- Personalized treatment according to the characteristics of your teeth
- Instant improvement in the appearance of your smile
- Increased confidence in social and professional situations
Common causes of tooth darkening
To understand how whitening works, it is important to know why teeth darken:
External factors (extrinsic stains):
- Frequent consumption of dark beverages (coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks)
- Foods with high pigmenting power (beets, cranberries, soy sauce)
- Smoking and use of nicotine products
- Accumulation of dental plaque and tartar
- Prolonged use of chlorhexidine rinses
Internal factors (intrinsic stains):
- Natural aging (enamel thinning)
- Medications (tetracyclines, excess of fluoride)
- Dental trauma that cause darkening
- Endodontic treatments (non-vital teeth)
- Genetic factors that determine the base color
The good news is that most extrinsic stains respond excellently to professional whitening, while for intrinsic stains we offer specific solutions on a case-by-case basis.
Types of Teeth Whitening at Smile For All
We offer different techniques to adapt to your needs, available time and dental sensitivity:
In-Office Whitening
The fastest solution for immediate results
- Procedure: Application of hydrogen peroxide gel in professional concentrations, enhanced with LED or laser light.
- Duration: 1-2 hours in a single session
- Results: Immediately visible, with lightening of 2-8 shades
- Advantages: Immediate results, professionally controlled procedure
- Ideal for: People with busy schedules or upcoming events (weddings, interviews)
During the procedure, we carefully protect your gums and soft tissues with special barriers before applying the bleaching agent, ensuring your comfort and safety.
2. Supervised Home Bleaching
Gradual treatment with maximum sensitivity control
- Procedure: Fabrication of customized splints for carbamide peroxide gel application
- Duration: 4-6 hours per day for 2-4 weeks
- Results: Gradual but long lasting, with lightening of 2-6 shades
- Advantages: Reduced sensitivity, customized control, long-term maintenance
- Ideal for: People with high tooth sensitivity or who prefer a gradual process.
We manufacture your custom-made splints in our in-house laboratory, ensuring a perfect fit that maximizes results and minimizes gingival irritation.
3. Mixed (combined) bleaching
The most effective technique for persistent cases
- Procedure: Initial in-office session followed by booster home treatment
- Duration: 1-2 hour session + home applications for 1-2 weeks
- Results: Optimal and stable, with lightening of up to 10 tones
- Advantages: Combines the best of both techniques, superior results, higher stability
- Ideal for: Cases of severe staining or persons seeking the maximum possible lightening.
This technique allows to obtain a significant initial lightening and then gradually reinforce it, achieving more intense and long-lasting results.
4. Internal bleaching (Walking Bleach)
Specific solution for non-vital teeth
- Procedure: Application of bleaching agent inside the pulp chamber of endodontically treated teeth
- Duration: Requires 1-3 spaced clinical sessions
- Results: Color matching with the rest of the dentition

This specialized technique makes it possible to restore the esthetics of endodontically treated teeth without resorting to more invasive prosthetic solutions.
The whitening process: what to expect?
Initial evaluation and diagnosis
Prior to any whitening procedure, we perform a complete evaluation that includes:
- Comprehensive dental examination to detect cavities, fissures or periodontal problems
- Determination of current tooth color by standardized color guide
- Analysis of the cause of stains or discoloration
- Professional cleaning to remove dental plaque and tartar
- Evaluation of existing restorations (do not change color with bleaching)
This evaluation is crucial to determine if you are an ideal candidate for whitening and which technique will be most effective in your specific case.
Preparation and procedure
Depending on the selected technique, the procedure will include:
For In-Office Whitening:
- Soft tissue protection with special barriers
- Application of whitening gel in professional concentrations
- LED or laser light activation in some cases
- Application in controlled cycles of 15-20 minutes
- Rinsing and fluoride application to reduce sensitivity
For Home Bleaching:
- Taking impressions for fabrication of customized splints
- Delivery of splints and whitening gel with detailed instructions
- Periodic monitoring to assess results and adjust concentrations
- Specific recommendations for use and care
Important considerations before bleaching
To determine if you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening, we evaluate:
Clinical factors:
- Oral health status - Pre-treatment of cavities and periodontal problems is required.
- Type of discoloration - Not all stains respond equally to treatment.
- Presence of restorations - Fillings, crowns or veneers do not change color
- Previous tooth sensitivity - Determines proper technique and concentration
- Gingival recessions - Special protocols are required.
Limitations to consider:
- Grayish shades generally do not respond well to conventional bleaching
- Teeth with extensive restorations may require prosthetic solutions.
- Cases of severe fluorosis may have limited results.
- Pregnancy and lactation are temporary contraindications.
In cases where whitening is not the ideal solution, we offer alternatives such as porcelain or lithium disilicate dental veneers, which provide superior esthetic results with minimal intervention.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening
Does tooth whitening damage the enamel?
No, when performed by professionals. Supervised teeth whitening uses safe products in appropriate concentrations that do not damage the enamel structure. Long-term studies have shown it to be a safe procedure when performed correctly.
Is it normal to feel tenderness during treatment?
Some degree of sensitivity is common during the whitening process, especially with in-office techniques. This sensitivity is temporary and disappears at the end of the treatment. At Sonrisa Para Todos we use specific protocols and desensitizing products to minimize this discomfort.
How long should I wait between bleaching treatments?
It is recommended to wait at least 6-12 months between complete treatments. However, small touch-ups can be performed more frequently. The need for repeat treatment depends primarily on your dietary and oral hygiene habits.
Will whitening work for me?
The effectiveness depends on the type of stains and the base color of your teeth. Whitening is most effective on yellowish stains and less effective on grayish tones. During your initial evaluation, we can determine what results you can expect and whether other cosmetic options would be more appropriate for your specific case.
We invite you to a complete evaluation where we will determine if teeth whitening is right for you and which technique will best suit your needs and expectations.
