What causes tooth discoloration?
Tooth discoloration is common and can happen due to:
- Daily habits like coffee, tea, and red wine
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Aging and natural enamel changes
- Medications or previous dental conditions
With professional teeth whitening Stockholm, many of these stains can be safely reduced, revealing a noticeably whiter smile.
Our teeth whitening treatments in Stockholm
In-clinic whitening with Philips Zoom LED
For immediate results, we use the
Philips Zoom LED light accelerator. After protecting your gums, our clinicians apply a gentle peroxide gel that is activated by LED light. In just three 15-minute sessions, your teeth can become visibly brighter. This is ideal if you want fast, noticeable, and long-lasting results.
Please note: A
recent dental check-up (within 6 months) is required before starting any whitening treatment to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy.
Take-home whitening with custom trays
If you prefer whitening at your own pace, we provide individually fitted trays and professional gels (e.g., Opalescence, Whiteness Perfect). On your first visit, we take impressions. At your follow-up, you receive your trays and clear instructions. Typically, trays are worn 4–6 hours per day for 3–6 days, depending on your needs and level of discoloration.
How long do results last?
Results from teeth whitening Stockholm typically last 1–3 years, depending on diet and oral care. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking can shorten the effect. To maintain your white smile, we recommend regular
dental hygienist visits and occasional touch-ups using your custom trays.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Our whitening treatments follow EU regulations and Swedish guidelines. We use controlled concentrations of peroxide that effectively brighten teeth without harming enamel when applied professionally. If needed, we may recommend appropriate
dental imaging and always perform a clinical assessment beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that reduces discoloration to enhance the brightness of your smile. It can address many stain types caused by diet, age, smoking, and certain medications, helping your teeth return to a lighter shade.
What are the most common methods of teeth whitening in Sweden?
- Professional in-clinic whitening: Fast, supervised results with potent gels (e.g., Philips Zoom).
- At-home custom trays: Dentist-made trays with professional gels for gradual whitening and future touch-ups.
- Whitening toothpaste/mouthwash: Helpful for maintaining brightness between treatments (more gradual effect).

in-clinic vs at-home whitening.
What are the possible side effects of teeth whitening?
- Tooth sensitivity: Common but temporary; usually settles within a few days.
- Gum irritation: May occur if trays are overfilled or ill-fitting; resolves when adjusted.
- Enamel safety: Professional protocols minimise risks; avoid overusing non-professional kits.
Tip: Use a desensitising toothpaste before/after treatment and follow your clinician’s instructions.
Do all stains disappear after teeth whitening?
Extrinsic stains (coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco) respond well. Intrinsic stains (medication-related, fluorosis, developmental) may require additional options such as longer protocols or cosmetic solutions. Note that fillings, veneers, and crowns do not whiten and may need shade adjustment after treatment.
Who can benefit from teeth whitening?
- Healthy adults (18+), not pregnant or nursing
- People without untreated decay or active gum disease
- Anyone seeking a brighter smile and realistic, safe results
We always start with a brief
dental consultation to confirm suitability.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Typically 1–3 years. Longevity depends on diet, tobacco use, and home care. Regular hygiene visits and periodic tray touch-ups help preserve results.
What should I do after a whitening session (aftercare)?
- “White diet” for 48–72 hours: Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, cola, soy/tomato sauces, curry, beetroot, dark berries, and chocolate.
- No tobacco: Refrain from smoking during the first 72 hours.
- Hydrate: Water helps restore natural balance and rinse pigments.
- Gentle hygiene: Brush twice daily with a soft brush; consider a fluoride or desensitising toothpaste/mouthwash.
- Sensitivity care: If needed, pause for a day and resume per instructions.
What is the cost of teeth whitening?
For in-clinic teeth whitening (upper and lower jaw, approx. 120 minutes): see our price list page.
Good to know
- Whitening does not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns, or veneers.
- If you plan new restorations, whiten first, then match the new shade.
- Maintenance is easiest with custom trays from your at-home kit.
