What is Teeth Whitening?

​

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic treatment method that removes stains and discoloration on the surface of the teeth over time, restoring their natural whiteness. This procedure, aimed at making your smile brighter and more aesthetic, ensures reliable and effective results through professional techniques.

​

Why is Teeth Whitening Necessary?

​

The color of teeth can change over time for various reasons:

• Consumption of colored beverages such as coffee, tea, and wine

• Smoking

• Poor oral hygiene

• Aging

• Use of certain medications

These discolorations on your teeth can be safely and effectively removed with professional teeth whitening techniques.

​

Teeth Whitening Methods

​

• In-office Teeth Whitening: This method, applied by a dentist in a clinical setting, uses powerful whitening gels and special light technology to quickly whiten the teeth. Noticeable results can be achieved in a single session.

• At-home Teeth Whitening: Using whitening trays and gels specially prepared for you by your dentist, this method can be applied at home over a period of 1-2 weeks, providing effective results. With regular use, your teeth will regain their natural whiteness.

​

Teeth Whitening Process

​

• Examination and Planning: Before the teeth whitening procedure, the general condition of your teeth is evaluated, and the most suitable method is chosen for you.

• Scaling: It is recommended to clean the tartar accumulated on the teeth before the whitening process. This ensures more effective whitening results.

• Whitening Application: Depending on the chosen method, in-office or at-home whitening is applied. In-office whitening typically provides results in a single session, while at-home whitening requires regular use.

• Results and Maintenance: After the whitening process, regular checkups and maintenance are recommended to maintain the whiteness of your teeth.

​

Post-Whitening Care

​

• In the first 24-48 hours after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid colored foods and drinks (coffee, tea, wine, smoking, etc.).

• To maintain the whiteness of your teeth, regular oral hygiene should be maintained, and periodic dental checkups should continue.

​

Why Should You Choose Teeth Whitening?

​

• Achieve a brighter and more aesthetic smile

• Remove stains and discoloration on your teeth

• Boost your confidence by achieving a more attractive appearance

​

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

​

Teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed using the correct methods and professional applications. The products used during the whitening process do not damage the tooth structure and protect the enamel. However, it is recommended that the procedure be performed by a professional dentist.
