Dental Whitening Types
Clinic in Spain for Teeth Whitening
At our clinic in Madrid, we offer teeth whitening treatments designed to restore your smile’s natural brightness. Using advanced techniques and top-quality products, we guarantee safe, fast, and long-lasting results.
As specialists in dental aesthetics, we tailor our whitening procedures to the specific characteristics and needs of each patient, ensuring a personalized treatment that enhances your smile effectively and safely.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening begins with taking impressions of the patient’s mouth at our clinic. Using these molds, we create customized clear plastic trays in the laboratory that fit perfectly to the patient’s dental arch.
The treatment involves applying the whitening product to the inner surface of the trays, which the patient must wear for 3 to 5 hours daily over a period of approximately 12 to 20 days.
At the end of the treatment, the patient visits the clinic to check the condition and color of their teeth.
How the Process of a Teeth Whitening Treatment is?
Initial Measurement
On the first consultation day, after a complete dental check-up, an initial measurement of the tooth is taken using a spectrophotometer, which provides three key parameters:
- Shade: Corresponding to a dental shade guide (e.g., VITA Bleachedguide 3D-Master®).
- Translucency: This parameter indicates which area of the incisal edge is composed only of enamel, as the whitening targets the dentin layer.
- Brightness: The brightness is measured in each of the three sections into which the tooth is divided. Values below 80 suggest that the tooth has significant potential to improve its shade.
Preventing Tooth Sensitivity
The next step is to discuss with the patient whether they experience dental sensitivity.
If sensitivity is present before starting the whitening treatment, a specific fluoride-free remineralizing toothpaste will be used for 1 to 4 weeks. If necessary, this will be combined with special sponges and serums to treat the sensitivity beforehand.
Once the tooth has been remineralized, if required, the at-home whitening treatment can begin. For patients with prior sensitivity, the treatment will start with fewer hours per day than usual and a lower-concentration product. This approach allows the patient to manage the whitening process based on their own sensitivity level.
Monitoring with a Spectrophotometer
Weekly measurements will be taken using the spectrophotometer to track the progress of both the tooth shade and brightness levels. This allows for precise and reliable monitoring of the whitening process.
The patient will be able to see a side-by-side comparison on the screen with the initial measurement taken on the first day. Dr. Marta Herrero will determine the right moment to proceed with the in-office whitening treatment.
After the in-office session, the patient will continue with the at-home treatment for one more week.

Teeth Whitening FAQ
What does teeth whitening involve?
It involves the application of agents that lighten the color of the teeth, such as carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, for example. This in-office procedure is usually combined with a treatment that the patient must follow at home.
This system allows:
- Removal of stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, or other substances on the teeth.
- Providing a new shine and color to the teeth, enhancing the smile and, as a result, the entire face.
- Rejuvenating the face.
In some patients who smoke or have poor oral hygiene habits, whitening may not be an sufficiently effective method. In these cases, the definitive aesthetic solution is the placement of dental veneers.
Philips Zoom step by step
The procedure is simple and painless. In about 1 hour, the specialist applies a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide to each tooth, followed by the application of an LED light. The result is excellent, with some patients achieving up to 8 shades lighter in a single session. The entire process is carried out under the supervision of our dental aesthetics specialists.
Preparation for the treatment: Our dentists will perform a complete review of your oral health. A professional dental cleaning is typically recommended to optimize results after whitening.
A protector is applied to the gums—a photopolymerizable barrier—to prevent contact between the whitening gel and the rest of the mouth.
The BriteSmile® whitening gel is applied to the enamel of the patient’s teeth.
The whitening gel is activated using the laser light from the BriteSmile system.
What role does oral hygiene play in having whiter teeth?
Oral hygiene plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the whiteness of teeth. Regular and thorough brushing helps remove surface stains and prevents plaque buildup, which can darken teeth over time. Using an appropriate toothpaste, preferably non-abrasive, protects the enamel while maintaining the shine of your teeth.
In addition, daily flossing and mouthwash use help remove debris that can stain teeth in hard-to-reach areas.
Además, el uso diario de hilo dental y enjuague bucal contribuye a la eliminación de residuos que pueden manchar los dientes en las áreas de difícil acceso.
Types of Stains on Teeth and Their Causes
-
Yellow Stains on Teeth: Caused by enamel wear or plaque buildup due to inadequate oral hygiene. Other factors include frequent consumption of acidic foods, bruxism (teeth grinding), and overly aggressive brushing that erodes the enamel.
Brown Stains on Teeth: Associated with excessive consumption of tobacco, coffee, tea, red wine, or alcohol, whose compounds adhere to the tooth enamel. Natural aging can also cause the appearance of brown stains, sometimes appearing as fine lines.
Gray Stains on Teeth: Caused by exposure to tetracyclines, an antibiotic that can cause dark discoloration if taken during tooth development. They can also result from dental necrosis or a root canal treatment.
White Stains on Teeth: Appear as discolored areas on the enamel due to localized demineralization, indicating a loss of minerals in that specific area of the tooth.
Teeth Whitening and Dental Sensitivity
The best way to achieve successful and long-lasting teeth whitening is through a combined technique, meaning part of the treatment is done in the clinic and part at home.
Personalizing each case is essential to achieve the best results, ensuring a bright white smile, not an unattractive “chalky white.”

How Does Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed Teeth Whitening Work?
If Philips Zoom is used for teeth whitening, the results can last between 12 and 24 months, depending on post-treatment care. Philips Zoom is a professional treatment that provides immediate and more intense results compared to other whitening methods.
The factors that affect the duration are similar to those of other treatments:
- Post-treatment care: After whitening, the dentist may provide maintenance kits for at-home use. Following the instructions can help extend the results.
- Diet and habits: Avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, and not smoking, helps maintain whiter teeth for longer.
- Oral hygiene: Maintaining a proper brushing and flossing routine is essential to preserving the whitening effect.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed is an advanced teeth whitening treatment that combines a high-concentration whitening gel with a specialized LED light designed to accelerate the whitening process. This method is safe for anyone with good oral hygiene and no cavities or gum issues. Under the constant supervision of our specialists, the procedure ensures that your teeth remain undamaged and strong.
The treatment is painless and fast, delivering visible results in just one session, with teeth up to eight shades lighter. While no foods are strictly prohibited during the treatment, it is recommended to limit the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to maximize results. The longevity of the whitening depends largely on post-treatment oral care, such as regular brushing with non-abrasive toothpaste.
Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed does not damage the enamel and is tailored to each patient’s individual needs, making it a safe and effective option for those seeking a brighter, healthier smile.
