Teeth whitening Amsterdam

Discolouration from coffee or red wine is one of the most common complaints we hear at iSmile Dental Practice. Fortunately, you do not have to live with it. With a professional whitening treatment at our practice, we remove the discolouration as much as possible, safe for your enamel and with visible results. Would you prefer home whitening? Then we make a custom whitening tray, so you can work at your own pace.

Teeth whitening at the dentist

At iSmile Dental Practice we whiten exclusively with gels approved for use in the dental practice. They are strong enough to give visible results, but mild enough to protect your enamel. You can already see the difference after one treatment.

Before we start, we always first check whether your teeth are ready for a whitening treatment. Do you have fillings or sensitive tooth necks? Then we discuss the best approach for you and tailor the treatment to your personal situation.

What you can expect from us:

  • Use of safely approved whitening gels
  • Visible results after one session
  • Personal advice tailored to your teeth
  • Treatment adjusted for fillings or crowns

Home whitening with a whitening tray

Would you prefer to whiten in your own surroundings and at your own pace? With a home whitening kit from iSmile Dental Practice, that works perfectly. We make a custom whitening tray for your teeth, so the gel fits just right and the treatment works optimally.

How does home whitening with a whitening tray work?

We take an impression of your teeth and use it to make a personal whitening tray. You then fill the tray at home with the supplied whitening gel and wear it for a set number of hours a day, depending on the concentration of the gel. You see the result after a few days to two weeks.

What does home whitening achieve?

The result of home whitening is a little more gradual than in-chair whitening, but you also enjoy it for longer if you top up with the tray now and then. A big advantage: you decide when to treat. When you collect the whitening tray, our dentist explains exactly how best to go about it.

Points to consider when whitening teeth

Teeth whitening is safe, but not for everyone and not suitable in every situation. We always check carefully in advance whether a whitening treatment is advisable.

What we take into account:

  • Existing restorations: fillings and crowns do not whiten along with your teeth. We always discuss this in advance, so you are not faced with unexpected colour differences.
  • Sensitive teeth: temporary sensitivity after whitening is normal. In case of severe sensitivity, we tailor the treatment to your situation.
  • Gum problems: healthy teeth are the foundation. If there are any gum complaints, we resolve those first.
  • Pregnancy: we advise against whitening treatments during pregnancy.

The cost of teeth whitening

The costs of teeth whitening vary per treatment and per practice. In the Netherlands, external whitening is subject to an experiment with free rates, which means dentists agree a price with the patient themselves. The NZa oversees the transparency of this. Would you like to know which rates we use? See our rates page for a current overview.

Procedure code Description Rate 2026
E97 External whitening of teeth Free rate*

*For external whitening of teeth in the Netherlands, free rates apply as part of the NZa cosmetic oral care experiment. You agree the price with us in advance. Internal whitening falls under the regular rate structure; contact us for the current price.

How do you prepare for teeth whitening?

Good preparation ensures a better, longer-lasting result. Our dental hygienist recommends having a dental cleaning done just before the whitening treatment. On clean teeth, the whitening gel works better and more evenly.

After whitening, we advise avoiding staining drinks for the first 48 hours. During that period your teeth are slightly more prone to new discolouration. After that you can simply eat and drink as usual.

How long does the result last?

That depends on your eating habits and whether you smoke. On average, a whitening treatment lasts well for one to three years. With the whitening tray you can top up the result in between, handy if you notice your teeth discolouring a little again.

Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene also contribute to a longer-lasting result. After the treatment, our dentist gives you practical advice on maintenance.

Your treatment in a pleasant setting

For many people, a visit to the dentist does not feel like a given. At iSmile Dental Practice we take the time for that. Our practices are set up for calm and attention, so you feel at ease from the moment you walk in.
