March 2021 - Dental Asensio. Dental Implants Abroad in Spain

Teeth whitening abroad at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia uses the Philips Zoom system — professional-grade whitening that lightens teeth by up to 8 shades in a single 45-minute session. Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero, specialist in cosmetic dentistry, performs all whitening treatments as part of a wider smile assessment that considers the patient’s baseline shade, existing restorations and aesthetic goals.

Professional teeth whitening at Asensio costs significantly less than equivalent UK private treatment — and unlike over-the-counter kits, the result is predictable, safe and supervised by a specialist. Philips Zoom uses cold light activation, protecting the enamel throughout the procedure.

The first consultation is completely free. Call us on 0800 048 8058 or email office@dentalasensio.co.uk to book.

Philips Zoom whitening — how it works

A professional cleaning is performed before whitening to remove plaque and tartar that would otherwise block the whitening gel. The Zoom whitening gel is then applied to the teeth and activated by a cold light lamp — a process repeated over three 15-minute cycles in a single session. The patient can see results immediately after the first session. A home maintenance kit is provided to extend and maintain the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is teeth whitening painful?

Some patients experience mild sensitivity during and for 24–72 hours after treatment — this is normal and temporary. Philips Zoom cold light is significantly less aggressive on the enamel than traditional laser whitening systems.

How long do whitening results last?

Results typically last 1–2 years depending on diet and habits. Avoiding tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco significantly extends the result. Top-up treatments can be performed every 6–12 months.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have veneers or crowns?

Whitening gel only affects natural tooth enamel — existing crowns, veneers and composite fillings will not change colour. If you have visible restorations, we will advise on whether whitening is appropriate and whether any restorations would need replacing to match the new shade.
