TOOTH WHITENING
What is teeth whitening?
Healthy, white teeth are important for a beautiful smile. Everyone's teeth have a certain color. Over time they can become darker due to internal and external factors such as tea, coffee, smoking, and antibiotic use. The special gels used in teeth whitening (whitening) can lighten the color of the teeth by up to 4-5 tones. You can get your teeth cleaned within 1 hour with laser treatment in our clinic or you can do it with a specially prepared whitening kit at home.
Outpatient (clinical) teeth whitening treatment.
In our clinic, the teeth whitening treatment can be performed in about 40 minutes in a single session, where the tooth lightens up to 4-5 tones. This method, also referred to as office teeth whitening, begins with applying a protective gel to the gums around the teeth so that the whitening gel does not touch the gums and surrounding tissues. The special whitening gel, which is applied only to the tooth surface, is kept on the teeth for 40 minutes with laser exposure, after which the teeth whitening process is complete. At the end of the teeth whitening process, the gel is removed from the surface. Depending on the degree of tooth discoloration, a second session may be required.
But in general one session is enough to achieve the desired goal.

Questions and answers
Is tooth whitening bad for your teeth?
Teeth whitening carried out under the supervision of a dentist does not damage the teeth. The gels used are compatible with the tissues. You can safely undergo teeth whitening under the supervision of a dentist.
How long does teeth whitening last?
This depends on what the patients’ drinking habits are like (colored drinks, tea, coffee, etc.) and whether or not they smoke. The white color after tooth whitening treatments disappears over time. This time it is between 1 and 2 years. If you get supportive whitening every 6 months, this white will last longer.
What should be considered after teeth whitening treatment?
To increase the permanence of the whitening after the whitening treatment, it is advisable to avoid coloured drinks for at least 1 week. Black tea should be consumed as light as possible and dark drinks like coffee, cherry juice, red wine, pomegranate juice, and turnip juice should be completely avoided. If you are smoking, you should minimize it.
Will there be sensitivity and tingling in the teeth after teeth whitening?
There may be a sensitivity to light for the first 12 hours. Your doctor will prescribe a desensitising gel. A desensitising toothpaste may also be preferred. If patients with a low pain threshold experience too much sensitivity, they can use pain relievers on the first day. The feeling of sensitivity will fade after 12 hours.
