Teeth whitening with “Enlighten” system
Teeth whitening with the “Enlighten” system can lighten natural teeth; the final result varies from person to person. The achievable shade depends on the starting colour and condition of your teeth. Temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. Your dentist will assess suitability and explain how to use the home whitening products. The procedure is suitable both for those whitening their teeth for the first time and for those looking to refresh their current shade and maintain a beautiful smile.
What is the “Enlighten” teeth whitening system?
Teeth whitening with the “Enlighten” system is an innovative procedure that provides long-lasting and exceptionally natural-looking results. The expected shade and suitability for whitening are assessed individually by a dentist. Whitening with the “Enlighten” system takes between 2 to 4 weeks. It is a relatively simple method in which the patient whitens their teeth at home using custom-made whitening trays.
The “Enlighten” whitening system works through a unique chemical process in which the whitening gel penetrates the tooth enamel. The main difference between “Enlighten” and other whitening methods is that the results of this technology are long-lasting. Whitening is not permanent; how long the effect lasts depends on dietary habits, oral hygiene and individual factors.
What is the cost of the procedure?
The cost of the “Enlighten” teeth whitening system may be higher than that of traditional whitening methods. The final shade and how long the effect lasts vary from person to person. The price of this whitening treatment can be up to €420. At the SDC clinic in Vilnius, teeth whitening with the “Enlighten” system can also be paid in installments. The price list gives an illustrative example of €70 per month for 6 months. Installment terms are assessed individually.

How does it all work?
Consultation with a dentist
The first stage is a visit to the dentist, during which an initial consultation is performed. During this consultation, the condition of the patient’s oral cavity is assessed, including tooth sensitivity, existing fillings, and other dental issues. The dentist also explains the entire whitening process, answers any questions the patient may have, and discusses the expected results.
Tooth preparation
Before starting the whitening process, it is very important to properly prepare the teeth. This may include a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, allowing the whitening gel to act directly on the tooth surface. This helps ensure an even whitening result. Then, impressions of the patient’s teeth are taken in order to create custom whitening trays.
The patient receives a home-use kit
Once the trays are ready, the dentist provides the patient with all the necessary whitening products and detailed instructions. The patient uses the kit for 2 to 4 weeks, as directed by the dentist.
Follow-up appointment
After completing the whitening cycle prescribed by the dentist, the patient visits the clinic for an evaluation of the results.

Advantages of the “Enlighten” teeth whitening system
This whitening system can lighten natural teeth. Maintaining the result also depends on proper dental care and individual habits. A specific shade is not guaranteed, and further whitening may be needed over time.
As you may know, one of the biggest challenges patients face during teeth whitening is increased tooth sensitivity. However, the “Enlighten” system can cause temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. If your teeth are sensitive, discuss this with your dentist before whitening. This is especially important, as many individuals with sensitivity issues are hesitant to undergo whitening treatments.
Your dentist will discuss the achievable shade with you before treatment. Many patients are looking not only for whiter teeth, but also for a natural appearance – so it is useful to discuss your expectations in advance.
Post-whitening dental care
After the “Enlighten” teeth whitening procedure, it is very important to properly care for your teeth to maintain long-term results and prevent possible discoloration. First and foremost, meticulous oral hygiene is essential. Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft toothbrush designed for sensitive teeth, and consider using a whitening toothpaste. Don’t forget to clean between the teeth to protect against cavities and plaque buildup.
You should also avoid foods and drinks that can cause staining – such as coffee, red wine, tea, colored sodas, berries, and other pigmented products. If you can’t completely avoid them, it’s recommended to rinse your mouth with water afterward. Of course, it’s also wise to quit harmful habits like smoking, as tobacco not only harms the health of your teeth and gums but is also one of the main causes of tooth discoloration.
Additionally, you may use supplementary whitening products to maintain your results. There are various pastes and mouthwashes available for home use that help preserve the whitening effect. And of course, regular dental visits are essential. It is recommended to have professional oral hygiene procedures twice a year and to have regular dental checkups. Your dentist may also recommend the most suitable oral care products for your individual needs.
