Teeth Whitening (Safe, Natural Brightening) in Turkey
What is professional whitening?
Teeth whitening uses clinically tested gels to gently lift deep stains from the pores of enamel. It does not remove enamel and, when done properly, is safe and controlled.
We match the shade to your face, lips, and eyes so the finish looks clean rather than artificial.
Best for: Tea/coffee, red wine, smoking, and age-related staining on natural teeth
Duration: In-clinic visit 60–90 minutes; custom take-home trays worn 30–90 minutes/day for 1–2 weeks (per plan)
What Whitening Can (and can’t) Do
Works well on yellow or brown staining from drinks, foods, and ageing.
Won’t change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings (we can replace or polish these after whitening to match).
Grey or tetracycline stains may need longer or combined approaches; we’ll set realistic expectations.
Options We Offer
In-clinic (“power”) whitening: Supervised session with protective barriers and high-quality gels for a fast lift.
Custom take-home trays: Precision-made trays and named gels for gradual, even whitening at home.
Combined plan: In-clinic jump-start, then home trays to reach and lock in your target shade.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Most adults with healthy gums and no untreated decay. If you have gum disease, decay, or cracks, we’ll treat those first. Pregnant or breastfeeding? We usually wait. Severe sensitivity? We can still often help with a gentle protocol.
Your Brightest Smile in 5 Steps
A simple, safe, and effective process to unlock your perfect shade.
Assessment & Shade Match
We check your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy for treatment. We note your starting shade and discuss realistic goals. We photograph for before/after comparison.
Impressions & Trays
We make custom trays that seal well around your teeth. This ensures even results and keeps the gel off your gums. Essential for take-home or combined plans.
In-Clinic Session (Optional)
If chosen, we place gum barriers and apply a powerful whitening gel. We monitor your comfort and the shade change throughout the session.
Home Phase
You wear your trays as directed (usually 30–90 minutes/day). We show you the exact gel amounts and cleaning instructions to get the best lift.
Review & Finishing
We check the final shade, polish, and if needed, replace front fillings to match. You get a top-up plan to keep your smile bright.
Before & After Photos





Comfort, Safety & Sensitivity
For 48 hours after treatment, your enamel pores are open and absorb colour easily. To lock in the whiteness, you must avoid:
- Coloured Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, cola (if you must, use a straw).
- Staining Foods: Curry, berries, beetroot, tomato sauce, chocolate.
- Smoking: Nicotine stains will absorb instantly during this window.
- Rule of thumb: If it would stain a white t-shirt, don't eat it!

Your Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Is whitening bad for enamel?
No—when done properly. It lifts stains without removing enamel. We screen, supervise, and use named gels.
Will it hurt?
Most people feel mild sensitivity that fades quickly. We give desensitising gels and adjust wear time if needed.
How many shades lighter will I go?
It varies. Many see 2–6 shades. We set realistic goals based on your starting shade and stain type.
Can I whiten if I have crowns or fillings?
Yes, but those won’t change colour. We can polish or replace visible fillings after whitening to match.
How long do results last?
Often 6–18 months, depending on diet and habits. Top-ups keep the shade where you want it.
Is shop-bought whitening the same?
Usually weaker and less precise. Custom trays give even coverage and less gum contact.
Will whitening fix brown lines or spots?
Sometimes. If stains are intrinsic, we may suggest micro-abrasion, bonding, or veneers for the final finish.
Can I do whitening before veneers/crowns?
Yes—and it’s best. We whiten first, then shade-match new work to your brighter teeth.
What if I’m very sensitive?
We use a gentle protocol: shorter wear, lower-strength gel, and desensitisers. Many sensitive patients do very well.
Will whitening change my bite or tooth shape?
No. It only changes colour. Shape changes need bonding, veneers, or orthodontics.
Is it safe while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We usually wait. We’ll plan a start date that’s safe for you.
Can teenagers whiten?
We assess case by case. We follow legal and clinical guidance for age and safety.
