A radiant smile with sparkling white teeth is often regarded as a key indicator of personal well-being and professional success. Despite this, substances like tobacco, caffeine, and othercolor-intensive foods can leave unwanted stains on your teeth. At our Mainz dental clinic, we counter these effects with professional teeth whitening (bleaching), customizing the treatment to achieve your desired shade.
Furthermore, regular professional dental cleanings are essential in maintaining the brightness and health of your smile. These cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar, helping to prevent periodontal disease while keeping your teeth beautifully white.
Experience the combined benefits of our cosmetic and preventive dental services to enhance and maintain your dazzling smile.
Professional teeth cleaning at our clinic involves a thorough process designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing can't reach. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also plays a critical role in maintaining overall oral health. Here’s how we do it:
There are several methods to whiten teeth. All fundamentally work the same: bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide penetrate the enamel and dentin, turning discolored molecules into colorless ones through the release of radicals. The differences lie in the application and the results.
Here is an overview of cosmetic teeth whitening options:
Bleachingstrips contain only a negligible amount of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, the effects are minimal. They hardly reach the interdental spaces, and gum protection is not always guaranteed. These products can worsen existing damage to the teeth without dental supervision.
Professional bleaching gel contains more bleaching agents, enabling significant whitening of even heavily stained teeth. With home bleaching, you receive individually made trays from our dentists, which you use at home for bleaching. Our dentists will explain exactly what to pay attention to. You will wear the tray overnight for one to two weeks to achieve the desired result.
In just one session, we bleach your teeth directly in our dental clinic. If you want optimal results quickly and prefer not to manage anything yourself, in-office bleaching is the right choice. Our specially trained staff ensure that your teeth and gums are protected.
After a root treatment, teeth may sometimes darken due to fillings or medications. Internal bleaching can help here. The bleaching agent is placed directly inside the tooth to lighten the teeth within five to seven days.
At our in-office bleaching procedures, you can lighten individual teeth or the entire row of teeth, usually in just one appointment!
Home bleaching is somewhat cheaper than in-office bleaching, which costs around €449. However, in-office bleaching is more convenient for our patients. Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover the costs of teeth whitening. We are happy to discuss with you in advance in our Mainz practice how much the costs will be in your individual case.
"I have been a patient at the practice for years. My teeth are in good condition, and I regularly have professional dental cleanings. Most recently, I had my teeth whitened through bleaching, and I was thrilled with the results. I really like the new dental office, and the staff there are extremely friendly."

With gentle treatment, no damage usually occurs to healthy teeth. A 2023 study indicates that whitening can lead to surface roughness and mineral loss, but remineralization occurs naturally. If you want to support this process, you can drink calcium-rich milk and apply appropriate remineralization gels. Good dental care is also important.
Applying the bleaching agent is not painful. However, sensitivities may cause mild pain after the treatment, but this typically disappears on its own shortly thereafter.
After bleaching, teeth may become sensitive to temperature changes and react with slight pain to hot or cold. However, this phenomenon is generally not a long-lasting side effect. We apply a remineralization gel after the bleaching, which reduces initial sensitivity and can also be continued at home. There are no known risks to the body or allergies associated with this treatment.
After teeth whitening, your teeth are sensitive and prone to absorbing color pigments. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid strongly colored and acidic foods and drinks for the first three days post-bleaching. This includes foods and beverages like curry, beets, bell peppers, ketchup, dark tea, coffee, alcohol, and candies with colorants. Opt for lighter-colored foods like rice, cauliflower, and dairy products.
Avoid using whitening toothpaste as it can be harsh on your currently very sensitive teeth. Mouthwashes are also not recommended immediately after bleaching as they may contain colorants. It is best to use a gentle toothpaste, possibly with a fluoride gel, and apply minimal pressure when brushing.
This depends on your oral health. Generally, it is possible to repeat the bleaching every two to three years. We would be happy to discuss with you personally when it is advisable to undergo another whitening session.
