Professional teeth whitening process at Smiles Peru — results in a single session
How does professional teeth whitening work?
The process combines a high-concentration whitening gel with a special LED light that activates the gel. This allows it to penetrate the enamel and break down stubborn stains and discoloration without damaging the tooth structure.
Why we use the Philips Zoom! system
Zoom! is one of the most widely used and researched professional whitening systems available. It delivers predictable results, is relatively fast, and is designed to protect the health of your enamel.

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening
How long does the treatment take?
The complete appointment lasts approximately 90 minutes (preparation + whitening session). For optimal results we recommend a professional cleaning beforehand.
How long do the results last?
Results depend largely on your habits. If you limit coffee, red wine, dark sodas, and tobacco, the whitening can last several years. Touch-up options (at-home products or another in-office session) are available when needed. Regular professional cleanings also help maintain the results.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some may notice mild temporary sensitivity that typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When performed by a trained dentist, the Philips Zoom! system is considered one of the safest and most thoroughly studied professional whitening methods available.
What will I experience during the procedure?
You will be comfortable in our dental chair (with a built-in massager). Many patients watch television or listen to music with noise-cancelling headphones during the session.
Can I eat and drink normally afterward?
We recommend avoiding highly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, sauces, etc.) for the first 48 hours.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Professional whitening is ideal for people who:
- Have healthy teeth that have become yellowed or stained
- Do not have extensive restorations on the front teeth (veneers or crowns)
- Want fast, visible results
- Are looking for a brighter, more youthful smile
A clinical evaluation determines whether you are a suitable candidate.
What causes teeth to discolor?
Common causes include:
- Genetics and natural aging
- Regular consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, or tobacco
- Certain antibiotics (such as tetracyclines) taken during tooth development
- Excessive fluoride exposure
