Magic Smile Teeth Whitening On Obolon
What it is
Teeth whitening lightens the natural colour of your teeth with a special gel at the dentist. At VILIDA, in-chair whitening is done with a Magic Smile lamp: its cool blue light helps the gel work, while the dentist oversees the procedure and protects your gums.
Before whitening, the dentist in Obolon examines your teeth: decay, cracks or inflamed gums are treated first, and plaque and tartar are removed with professional cleaning. Besides in-chair whitening, the clinic offers at-home whitening with trays and gel to the dentist’s plan, and a tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment can be lightened from the inside.

Why teeth darken and what helps
Tooth colour comes from two layers. Stains from coffee, tea, red wine and smoking build up on the enamel surface. Beneath the enamel lies dentin, which turns yellower with age, and its colour shows through the enamel.
That is why professional cleaning comes first: it restores the natural colour of your teeth. If you want them lighter than nature made them, you need whitening.
Who teeth whitening is for
Whitening only changes the colour of your own teeth, and only healthy ones, so before it the dentist checks your teeth and gums, as well as any fillings and veneers.
Whitening suits you if
- Your teeth have yellowed with age or from coffee, tea, wine or smoking
- After professional cleaning you would like an even lighter shade
- You are planning veneers, crowns or restoration of your front teeth: their shade is matched to the whitened teeth
- One tooth has darkened after root canal treatment: it is lightened from the inside
Whitening is not done or is postponed if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are under 16
- You have decay, cracks or chips: treatment comes first
- Your gums are inflamed or your teeth are very sensitive: treatment and preparation come first
- Your front teeth have fillings, crowns or veneers: they do not whiten, and after whitening they may need replacing
How in-chair whitening is done
-
Examination and shade
The dentist examines your teeth, records their colour on a shade guide and explains how much lighter they can become.
-
Cleaning
Plaque and tartar are removed before whitening so the gel works evenly. Whether you need a separate professional cleaning, the dentist will tell you at the examination.
-
Protection
Your lips are held back with a retractor, you put on protective glasses, and your gums are covered with a protective gel.
-
Gel and lamp
A whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated several times with the light of the Magic Smile lamp.
-
Fluoride
Finally, the teeth are coated with a fluoride product that strengthens the enamel and reduces sensitivity.
-
Advice for the first days
The dentist explains what to avoid after whitening so the colour lasts longer, and what to do if your teeth become sensitive.
In the chair or at home
Whitening products are strong, so the safest option is whitening at the dentist or with a kit the dentist has prescribed.
| Method | How it works | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| In the chair with a Magic Smile lamp | Gel and lamp light in the dental chair, overseen by the dentist | The effect is visible right after the procedure |
| With trays at home | Gel in trays that the dentist fits to your teeth; the dentist also explains how to wear them | Teeth lighten gradually; the course takes several weeks |
| One tooth from the inside | Gel is placed inside a tooth that has darkened after root canal treatment | Only that tooth is lightened |
| Strips and toothpastes from a shop | Weak products or abrasives | Remove some surface stain but do not change the natural colour |
Products from beauty salons or the internet work less well and can damage teeth and gums, so see a dentist before any whitening.
Laser whitening or Magic Smile
Magic Smile is not a laser but an LED lamp: its cool blue light without ultraviolet activates the whitening gel. Any whitening that uses light is often called “laser whitening”. It is the gel that changes the colour; the light helps it work faster.
How much teeth whitening costs
Comprehensive whitening with fluoride treatment costs 6 200 UAH, and whitening of one tooth costs 600 UAH. How many sessions you will need, whether you need professional cleaning first and how much at-home whitening with trays will cost, the dentist will tell you after an examination.

Questions and answers
Is teeth whitening harmful?
For healthy teeth, whitening at the dentist is safe: the dentist checks your teeth, protects your gums and oversees the procedure. Temporary side effects can follow, such as sensitivity to cold or sweet things and sore gums. They usually pass quickly; if they bother you, tell your dentist.
How long do whitening results last?
Whitening is not permanent. If you follow the dentist’s advice, the effect may last around three years. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring the colour back sooner, while thorough hygiene and professional cleaning help it last longer.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
No, but your teeth may become sensitive during or after the procedure. At the end they are coated with a fluoride product, and the dentist will tell you how to reduce sensitivity in the first days.
What should you avoid after whitening?
For the first few days, follow the “white diet”: avoid coffee, tea and red wine, berries, beetroot and staining sauces, and do not smoke. The dentist will tell you how many days to keep it up.
Do fillings, crowns and veneers whiten?
No, whitening only changes the colour of your own teeth. If your front teeth have fillings or veneers, they may need replacing after whitening so the colour matches; it is worth discussing this with your dentist in advance.
Which is better: cleaning or whitening?
They are different procedures. Cleaning removes plaque and stains from the surface and restores the natural colour of your teeth, while whitening makes them lighter than their natural shade. Usually cleaning comes first, followed by whitening if needed.
Can a single tooth be whitened?
Yes, if it has darkened after root canal treatment: it is lightened from the inside, with gel placed in the tooth’s cavity. The price is in the table above.
How often can you whiten your teeth?
The dentist recommends repeat whitening only after an examination, once they have assessed your enamel and sensitivity. Between procedures, the colour is mostly maintained with professional cleaning and home care rather than frequent whitening.
