Teeth whitening in Girona
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens the natural shade of the enamel using a peroxide-based gel. At Implantdent we carry out teeth whitening at our two clinics in Girona —the Migdia one and the Santa Eugènia one—, always with a prior assessment to confirm that the treatment is suitable in your case.
Not all whitening treatments give the same result, and not all stains respond in the same way. The most important factor is not the product, it is the prior diagnosis: knowing what type of stain you have and choosing the right technique.
Types of whitening we offer in Girona
- In-clinic whitening. One or two sessions at the practice with a higher-concentration gel, activated with light in some cases. Result visible the same day.
- Supervised at-home whitening. Custom trays to use at home with a lower-concentration gel for one or two weeks. A more gradual result and normally with less sensitivity.
- Combined whitening. An initial session at the clinic followed by top-ups with trays at home. The most effective option when the aim is the maximum change in shade.
During the first visit we assess which option suits you based on your initial shade, the type of stains and your tolerance to sensitivity.

Price of teeth whitening in Girona
The price depends on the option chosen and on whether any prior work is required (cleaning, replacement of fillings on visible teeth, assessment of deep stains).
At the first visit we review your case, show you the initial shade, give you a realistic view of how far we can take it and quote the exact price before starting. The first visit is free and with no obligation.
How long the result lasts
The effect usually lasts between one and three years, depending on three main factors:
- Consumption habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, dark soft drinks and tobacco are the main causes of gradual darkening.
- Daily hygiene and check-ups. Correct brushing and regular check-ups make the result last longer.
- Type of whitening carried out. The combined option (clinic plus home) tends to give more stable results over time.
After the treatment we give you guidelines to keep the shade for as long as possible. In some cases, brief top-ups at home are planned from time to time.
Difference between professional whitening and pharmacy kits or whitening strips
Over-the-counter whitening strips and kits contain gel with low peroxide concentrations and are applied without custom trays or professional supervision. The results are usually modest and, above all, there is no assessment of whether your mouth is suitable for whitening. In cases of inflamed gums, visible restorations or stains that are not superficial, they may even make the overall appearance worse.
Professional whitening uses more effective concentrations, is applied on trays fitted to your mouth and always follows a prior assessment. That is the difference between applying a cosmetic treatment on the basis of a diagnosis and applying a product blindly.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening in Girona
Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect. It usually appears during the treatment or in the hours afterwards and disappears within a few days. It is reversible sensitivity, not damage to the tooth.
With in-clinic whitening, the same day. With the supervised at-home plan, between one and two weeks. With the combined option, the shade settles over the following weeks.
When it is carried out under professional supervision and with the right products, it does not cause permanent damage to the enamel. Any sensitivity that appears is temporary.
Whitening only acts on natural enamel. After assessing your case we will tell you whether it is better to whiten the natural teeth first and then replace those restorations to match the shade, or whether the order should be reconsidered.
Yes, but it is done once the orthodontic treatment has finished, not during. With braces or Invisalign aligners in use, the whitening result would be uneven.
It depends on the case and on the type of previous whitening. A brief top-up at home can be considered from time to time without any problem; a full in-clinic whitening is spaced out more, normally every one to three years.
