Teeth whitening in Palma de Mallorca
Restore your smile’s natural whiteness with a professional, long-lasting treatment
The effects of time, certain habits, and some medical conditions can cause teeth to lose their natural whiteness and appear more yellow or discolored. This causes many people to stop smiling naturally, even though they maintain good oral health. The main reasons for seeking teeth whitening are to improve aesthetic appearance and increase confidence and self-esteem by showing off a whiter smile.
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that allows you to lighten the shade of your teeth in a safe, controlled, and effective way, provided it is carried out under dental supervision and after a prior diagnosis.
At Clínicas Udemax, in Palma de Mallorca, we perform professional teeth whitening treatments for patients from all over Mallorca, working exclusively with the KöR Whitening system, one of the most advanced and effective systems in cosmetic dentistry, capable of offering stable results even in complex cases.

What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of teeth and removes stains or discoloration, improving the brightness of your smile without damaging the enamel.
Unlike cosmetic or home methods, professional teeth whitening is based on the use of controlled whitening agents, applied following clinical protocols that guarantee the safety of the teeth and gums.
The final result depends on several factors, such as:
- The type of stain
- The initial shade of the tooth
- The patient’s habits
- The whitening system used
In addition, the type of whitening chosen (internal, at home, or combined) also influences the results, as there are different types of teeth whitening recommended according to the needs of each patient, such as specific internal teeth whitening in Mallorca.
For this reason, not all whitening treatments offer the same results or the same stability over time.
Types of dental stains: a key point in diagnosis
Before performing any whitening treatment, it is essential to identify the origin of the tooth discoloration, as not all stains respond equally to treatment. The depth of the stain depends on the affected tooth layer, such as dentin, which influences the effectiveness of the whitening treatment.
External or superficial stains
These usually appear due to:
- Consumption of coffee, tea, or red wine
- Tobacco
- Foods with high coloring power
- Accumulation of plaque and tartar
These stains usually respond well to professional whitening treatments.
Internal or deep stains
These can be caused by:
- Treatment with tetracyclines during tooth development
- Dental trauma
- Enamel abnormalities
- Excessive fluoride consumption in childhood
In these cases, not all whitening systems are effective, and advanced, personalized techniques must be used. To treat internal stains, agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide are used, and there are different types of teeth whitening depending on the nature of the stain.
Our teeth whitening system in Palma: KöR Whitening
At Clinicas Udemax, we work exclusively with KöR teeth whitening, a combined whitening system that integrates in-clinic treatment with LED light and the use of custom-made trays at home, currently considered one of the most effective and stable systems worldwide.
The KöR system stands out for its ability to:
- Treat superficial and deep stains
- Offer predictable and long-lasting results
- Minimize tooth sensitivity
- Maintain enamel integrity
Many patients who have received this treatment highlight their satisfaction with the results obtained.
In addition, it is one of the few systems capable of significantly improving teeth stained by tetracyclines, a common challenge in cosmetic dentistry.
How does KöR teeth whitening work?
KöR whitening is a combined treatment that combines an outpatient phase at home with a clinical phase supervised by the dentist.
In the clinical phase, a special formulation is used, avoiding lasers, LED lamps, or plasma to activate the whitening gel, which accelerates and enhances the results of the treatment.
In the outpatient phase at home, the dentist provides the trays and necessary materials, ensuring the correct start of treatment.
Thanks to this approach, the following is achieved:
- Deep penetration of the whitening agent
- More stable results over time
- Greater control of sensitivity
One of the distinguishing features of the KöR system is the cold chain of the whitening gel, which maintains its effectiveness intact from manufacture to application, something that does not occur in other conventional systems.
KöR teeth whitening stages
During the first visit, we perform a complete check-up of your teeth and gums, along with a study of your tooth shade. This study determines the number of shades that can be lightened with the teeth whitening treatment, which varies depending on each case. It is essential that there are no cavities, infections, or active periodontal problems before starting treatment, as in these cases, treatments such as dental fillings in Palma de Mallorca would have to be performed beforehand.
Before whitening, a professional dental cleaning is performed to remove plaque and tartar, preparing the teeth to get the most out of the treatment.
Advantages of KöR teeth whitening
KöR whitening offers clear advantages over other methods:
- Highly effective, even on complex stains
- Stable, long-lasting results
- Safe treatment that protects enamel and gums
- Controlled sensitivity, thanks to its clinical protocol
- Fully customized, adapted to each patient
Unlike ceramic veneers, which are thin, customized laminates placed over the teeth and require a more invasive procedure, teeth whitening is less invasive and reversible.
For this reason, it is the system we use exclusively in our clinics.
When is teeth whitening not recommended?
Teeth whitening should not be performed if any of the following conditions exist:
- Active cavities
- Untreated periodontal disease
- Gingival infections or inflammation
- Certain structural alterations of the tooth
In some cases, it may be more appropriate to resort to other cosmetic dental treatments in Mallorca, such as veneers, which will always be evaluated after diagnosis.
Side effects of teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a safe treatment when performed under the supervision of a dentist and with quality products. However, as with any procedure, some mild and temporary side effects may occur. The most common is tooth sensitivity, which usually manifests as discomfort when consuming hot or cold foods or beverages. This sensitivity usually disappears a few days after the treatment is completed.
Another possible side effect is gum irritation, especially if the whitening gel comes into contact with the soft tissues of the mouth. Therefore, it is essential that the gel is applied according to the dentist’s instructions and using customized trays. In rare cases, slight enamel erosion may occur, although this is very uncommon if professional products are used and the correct concentration of the whitening agent is respected.
Therefore, to minimize any side effects and ensure the safety of the treatment, it is essential to always have teeth whitening done under professional supervision.
Post-whitening care
Once the teeth whitening treatment is complete, it is essential to take certain precautions to maintain the results and prolong the brightness of your smile. During the first 24-48 hours after treatment, it is recommended to avoid foods and drinks with high coloring power, such as coffee, red wine, dark soft drinks, and red fruits, as your teeth may be more susceptible to staining.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is key: brush your teeth after every meal, floss, and use mouthwash to remove food debris and prevent new stains from appearing. It is also advisable to reduce your consumption of tobacco and other products that can darken your enamel.
Don’t forget to visit your dentist regularly to check the health and appearance of your teeth. Proper maintenance and professional supervision will help preserve the results of your teeth whitening treatment for much longer.
In addition, once the desired shade has been achieved, the treatment enters a maintenance phase. At Udemax Clinics, we are concerned that the whitening results remain stable over time, so we provide the patient with a specific KöR system maintenance product to be applied at home following the specialist’s instructions. This maintenance allows the shade achieved to be preserved for longer and maintains the brightness of the smile.
Teeth whitening price
The price of teeth whitening can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of treatment chosen, the duration of the procedure, and the dental clinic where it is performed. In general, teeth whitening treatment performed in a clinic can vary depending on the technology used and the experience of the professional team.
On the other hand, at-home whitening, supervised by a dentist and using custom trays, is usually a more affordable option among teeth whitening treatments. In any case, it is important to bear in mind that the quality of the treatment, safety, and duration of the results may vary depending on the method used and the dental clinic selected.
Before making a decision, we recommend requesting detailed information about the teeth whitening treatment, comparing options, and evaluating the dentist’s experience. A well-performed treatment not only guarantees a whiter smile, but also longer-lasting results and less need for additional check-ups.
