Teeth Whitening

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional teeth whitening painful?

Usually not painful, but sensitivity is common. During the procedure, you may feel mild tingling. Afterward, expect temporary sensitivity to hot and cold for 24-48 hours. Sensitivity toothpaste helps. Most patients find it very tolerable.

Is teeth whitening safe in Turkey?

Yes—Turkish dental clinics use the same professional-grade products as Western clinics (Philips Zoom, Beyond, etc.). Professional application is safer than DIY kits because gums are protected and gel concentration is controlled.

Why is teeth whitening cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs and high volume of dental tourists. The same products and techniques cost less to administer. Many patients combine whitening with other dental work for maximum value.

How many days do I need in Turkey for whitening?

Just 1 day—the procedure takes 60-90 minutes. Many patients combine it with a dental check-up, cleaning, or other treatments. Same-day completion is standard.

How long do whitening results last?

1-3 years depending on lifestyle. Avoid staining habits (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking) to maintain results. Touch-up treatments every 6-12 months can maintain brightness. Home maintenance trays extend results.

How many shades whiter can I expect?

Typically 6-8 shades improvement with professional treatment. Results depend on starting shade and stain type. Yellow stains respond best; gray or intrinsic stains are harder to treat.

Can whitening damage my teeth?

No—professional whitening is safe when properly administered. Temporary sensitivity is normal and resolves quickly. Avoid excessive whitening (more than once every 6 months) to protect enamel.

What if I have fillings or crowns?

Whitening only affects natural teeth—fillings, crowns, and veneers won't change color. If you have visible restorations, they may need replacement to match your new shade. Discuss this during consultation.
