Price comparison between bleaching methods
Do you dream of a radiant smile with beautiful white teeth? You are not alone! In Switzerland, especially in cities like Zurich, the demand for teeth whitening is steadily increasing. But what does it actually cost to have your teeth whitened? In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn all about the different whitening methods, their costs and what you should consider for your dental health.
The cost comparison
Home bleaching: Inexpensive, but to be used with caution
Home whitening products such as whitening kits with whitening gels, plastic trays or whitening strips are an inexpensive option for whitening your teeth at home. You can find these products in pharmacies or online and they usually cost between CHF 30 and CHF 100, but beware: not all products are equally effective or safe for your gums and enamel. In addition, you rarely achieve the desired result with home bleaching as you would with professional treatment. Use our products from ALPINE WHITE, which you can easily order online or at various local locations.

Professional bleaching: an investment in your smile
Professional teeth whitening in a dental practice or dental Studio costs more, but also offers much more visible and long-lasting results. The cost of professional bleaching varies depending on the method and practice, but is generally between CHF 300 and CHF 900. Common methods include in-office bleaching, power bleaching and bleaching trays, which are customised to your teeth.
The different bleaching methods and their costs
- In-office bleaching: This method is carried out directly in the dental practice or at our ALPINE WHITE Studio and offers quick results. A bleaching agent is applied to the tooth surface and often activated with a special lamp or UV light. The costs for this are around CHF 500 to CHF 900.
- Power bleaching: Similar to in-office bleaching, but with a more intensive concentration of bleaching agent and often using UV light. This method is aggressive due to the use of peroxides and can be painful. It usually costs between CHF 600 and CHF 1000.
- Bleaching trays: This method involves custom-made trays that are filled with a bleaching gel. You wear these trays at home for a certain period of time. The cost of this method is between CHF 300 and CHF 600.
In-office bleaching at ALPINE WHITE
ALPINE WHITE bleaching offers a gentle and effective solution for anyone who wants brighter teeth without having to accept the risks and side effects of conventional bleaching methods. This innovative whitening treatment uses no hydrogen peroxide at all, which significantly reduces the risk of gum inflammation and hypersensitivity. Instead, ALPINE WHITE uses a gentle bleaching gel that effectively lightens the tooth colour without damaging the tooth structure or enamel.
This method is particularly suitable for people with sensitive teeth or exposed tooth necks, as it causes no pain or discomfort. The treatment aims to remove tooth discolouration caused by pigments in food and drink and restore the natural tooth colour. The result is visibly brighter teeth in a short time, without increasing the risk of tooth decay or other dental problems.
ALPINE WHITE is therefore a revolutionary alternative in dental care that makes it possible to achieve a radiant smile in just one session without compromising the health of your teeth. With this method, you can look forward to a professional whitening treatment that will make your teeth healthy and shiny white.
What influences the cost of tooth whitening?
- Initial condition of your teeth: Heavily discoloured teeth or existing fillings can increase the effort and therefore the costs.
- Chosen method: Professional methods such as in-office bleaching are more expensive than home bleaching options.
- Practice location: Prices are often higher in cities such as Zurich than in rural areas.
Additional factors for successful bleaching
Good oral hygiene: the foundation for effective bleaching
Thorough and professional tooth cleaning before bleaching is crucial. This cleaning removes plaque and tartar that has accumulated on and between the teeth. It also helps to remove superficial stains that could affect the bleaching result. A clean tooth surface allows the bleaching agent to work more evenly and effectively, leading to a better overall result. In addition, a professional cleaning can also reveal potential problems such as tooth decay or gum disease that should be treated before bleaching.
Prevent discolouration: Protect your radiant smile
To maintain the results of your bleaching in the long term, it is important to reduce the consumption of colouring foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine and dark juices. These can cause new discolouration and affect the radiant whiteness of your teeth. Smoking is also a major factor in tooth discolouration and should be avoided. If you consume such products, it is advisable to brush your teeth afterwards or at least rinse your mouth with water to minimise the accumulation of discolouring substances.
Regular aftercare: a must for lasting results
Regular check-ups at our ALPINE WHITE Studio and aftercare are essential to maintain the health of your teeth and the results of bleaching. A dental expert can not only monitor the long-term effects of bleaching, but also recognise and treat problems at an early stage. He or she can also give you personalised recommendations for dental care and hygiene that are specifically tailored to your needs. Regular professional cleaning, ideally every six months, helps to keep your teeth clean and bright and helps to maintain the radiant results of your bleaching.
Special cases in tooth whitening
Conventional bleaching treatment often reaches its limits when it comes to certain bleaching challenges, such as severe discolouration or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. In such cases, veneers can be an effective solution. These thin, custom-made shells are applied to the front of the teeth and offer a way to improve the colour and shape of the teeth. They are particularly useful for concealing deep discolouration that cannot be corrected by standard whitening methods. Veneers are durable, resistant to new discolouration and contribute to the aesthetic improvement of the smile. They require careful dental planning and are a permanent solution that requires consistent oral hygiene.
A radiant smile has its price
Teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten your smile and boost your self-confidence. Although the cost of professional whitening is higher than home whitening products, the results are usually visible more quickly. Keep in mind, however, that maintaining your radiant smile also requires ongoing care and investment in good oral hygiene.
In Switzerland, especially in Zurich, there are many qualified dental experts who will be happy to accompany you on your way to radiant white teeth. Remember that a beautiful smile not only improves your appearance, but is also a sign of healthy teeth. So invest wisely in your teeth whitening and enjoy your radiant smile!
