Teeth Whitening

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Tooth color can lose its whiteness and turn yellowish due to eating, drinking, smoking, and neglecting oral hygiene. Additionally, having naturally yellow teeth can be a common genetic trait. Without undergoing any surgical procedure, you can achieve a radiant smile through teeth whitening treatment.

With the advancements in modern dentistry, teeth whitening procedures can now be performed more easily and with long-lasting results. When laser and gel whitening are applied together, the whiteness of the teeth can be maintained for one to two years, and this period can be extended with maintenance sessions.

Who Should Not Undergo Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening can be safely performed on most individuals; however, it is not suitable in the following cases:

Individuals with serious gum and oral health problems
Individuals who use photo-reactive drugs or substances, whether prescribed or over-the-counter
Individuals undergoing oncological (cancer) treatment
Individuals under the age of 18 cannot undergo teeth whitening treatment.

How Is Teeth Whitening Performed?

To ensure that the patient achieves the most effective and long-lasting whiteness in the shortest time, both gel and laser teeth whitening methods are applied together.

Before the procedure, any accumulated tartar and dental plaque on the surface of the teeth are cleaned. During the application, a protective layer is applied to the gums to prevent any damage, and the gel-laser teeth whitening process begins. After approximately 30 to 45 minutes in two stages, the patient achieves a bright white smile. A slight sensitivity in the teeth may occur during the procedure, but this sensation fades within a few hours, and the patient can immediately return to daily life.
