What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening uses concentrated hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel activated by LED or laser light to remove deep stains and discoloration—achieving 6-8 shades whiter in just 60-90 minutes, with results lasting 1-3 years.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Combine teeth whitening with a dental check-up and cleaning for maximum results. The whitening works better on clean teeth. If you're planning veneers, do whitening first so the veneers can be matched to your lighter shade.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth — not on fillings, crowns, or veneers. Expect temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours after treatment. Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and dark foods for 48 hours post-treatment to protect results.

"I had a fantastic experience. Coming from the US, I reached out to a few well rated clinics. Aksu was extremely responsive and quickly answered all my questions. I was a bit pressed on time and the clinic worked with my travel schedule. Dr. Haydar was excellent, honest, gave straight forward feedback and was concerned with overall dental health as well as cosmesis. My results are superb. So natural and beautiful and elegant. I’m so happy."
