Teeth Whitening in Chisinau
Top dental clinics in Chisinau, ratings and reviews
Teeth whitening lightens enamel by 3–8 shades in a single visit. It does not work like a cleaning: peroxide gel penetrates the enamel and breaks down pigment built up over years of coffee, tea, wine and cigarettes. The procedure is performed by a dentist at a dental clinic in Chisinau — pharmacy strips give one shade at best.
Zoom, laser or home trays
Zoom 4 is the most popular method: the gel is activated by a lamp and in 40–60 minutes teeth lighten by 5–8 shades. Laser whitening works more precisely and is gentler on sensitive teeth. Home whitening uses custom trays with gel worn a couple of hours daily for two weeks: slower, but gentler and cheaper. Many clinics combine both for lasting results.
What to know beforehand
Only healthy teeth can be whitened: decay is treated first and professional cleaning is done, otherwise the gel sits on plaque. Crowns and fillings do not whiten and are replaced afterwards. Zoom in Chisinau costs 2500–4500 MDL — around 160 EUR versus 400–600 EUR in Western Europe. The effect lasts 1–2 years.
