Dental Whitening in Lausanne
At the Dental Clinic in Dorigny (Lausanne), whitening is performed at home with personalized trays, and we offer maintenance touch-ups to preserve the shine obtained. This choice prioritizes safety, progressivity and control of the result over time. After an initial examination (and, if necessary, scaling), we manufacture your trays, define the protocol (duration, frequency) and anticipate possible sensitivity. You benefit from follow-up and precise advice to stabilize the shade. Goal: a brighter smile, while respecting your oral health.
Who is whitening for?

- ⚠Relative contraindications: untreated cavities, weakened enamel, pregnancy/breastfeeding, unstabilized hypersensitivity.
- ℹA preliminary assessment (and often scaling) optimizes safety and results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is at-home whitening as effective as in-office?
Yes for most common aesthetic indications. It is progressive, reproducible and easier to maintain over time.
Does it damage enamel?
No when prescribed and supervised. We adapt concentration, duration and frequency; sensitivity is monitored.
How long do results last?
Variable according to habits. Maintenance touch-ups allow preserving shine long-term.
Will I have pain or sensitive teeth?
