Teeth whitening to counter discolouration
Your teeth can become discoloured for various reasons. Discolouration caused by external factors can be prevented, but there is little you can do about discolouration from within.
Discolouration from the outside
Smoking, drinking too much tea or coffee or food with a lot of colouring can cause staining on your teeth. These are extrinsic discolourations, caused from the outside. There are toothpastes on the market that can help remove staining, but they cannot change the colour of your teeth.
Discolouration from within
The colour of your teeth, like the colour of your hair and eyes, is determined by your DNA. As we get older, the dentine changes colour and teeth become more yellow. Dentine is the soft tissue beneath the enamel that protects the tooth nerve. These discolourations occur from within and are called intrinsic discolourations. Intrinsic tooth discolouration cannot be removed with anti-stain or anti-tartar toothpaste.

Teeth whitening treatment at the dentist in Rotterdam
The most common method at Loef Mondzorg is whitening with a whitening tray and professional whitening gel. Treatment always starts with a dental check-up to properly assess your gums and teeth. We then take an accurate impression of your teeth, from which we make a whitening tray that fits your teeth perfectly, so the gel works optimally and your gums stay protected.
Whitening your teeth at home
Once the whitening tray has been made, we will show you how to apply a small amount of whitening gel to the trays and how to insert them yourself. You then take the gel and trays home and can continue the treatment at home. Together we decide how long and how often you wear the trays. Your teeth will feel softer for 24 hours after each treatment. This is temporary.
Teeth whitening costs
Teeth whitening costs €360.67 for both jaws, including the necessary whitening gel. This price includes:
- The intake and dental check-up

Advice after teeth whitening
To maintain the best result, we advise you to avoid coffee, tea, red wine and fizzy drinks during the whitening period. We also recommend (temporarily) stopping smoking and following the instructions for using the whitening tray. After whitening, your teeth may feel temporarily sensitive. This usually disappears by itself within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening
How much does teeth whitening cost?
Teeth whitening costs €360.67 for both jaws (including whitening gel).
What should I not eat after teeth whitening?
During the whitening period, avoid fizzy drinks and colourings such as red soft drinks and red sauces. Do not drink coffee, tea or wine and stop smoking temporarily.
How long should I whiten my teeth myself to get white teeth?
We recommend a whitening procedure of 5 days, wearing the trays for 2 hours a day. The result is only really visible after a week or two. If you are not yet satisfied with the result, you can repeat the whitening procedure for another 5 consecutive days. The result depends on the number of hours per day and the number of days you whiten, as well as how receptive your teeth are to whitening.
How long do my teeth stay white after whitening?
If the result is insufficient, it may be useful to repeat the treatment after 1 to 2 months, especially with strong discolouration.
One year after the whitening procedure, a single 2-hour session is enough to return to the situation immediately after whitening. Because your teeth have a kind of ‘memory’ for whitening, this shorter procedure is sufficient. You can obtain new, fresh Opalescence® syringes from your dentist for this.
Can everyone have their teeth whitened?
No, teeth whitening is not suitable for pregnant women, children or people with serious gum problems. During the intake, we always check whether whitening is suitable for you.
Are there any risks associated with teeth whitening?
Temporary sensitivity is common. Serious side effects are rare when used correctly.
What results can I expect?
Most patients experience a considerable improvement in tooth colour. Exactly how white your teeth become depends on the original discolouration and the structure of your enamel.
