What are the Teeth Whitening Methods in Turkey?
Teeth whitening is a treatment procedure in which peroxide-based whitening gels are applied directly to the teeth using a thin strip or brush. This procedure is usually applied over one or two daily sessions over a period of two weeks. Teeth whitening methods, which are used to lighten the teeth by a few shades, vary according to the technique used and the application areas.
Home-Type Teeth Whitening
Home-type teeth whitening uses special trays prepared for the person. For this, the individual’s intraoral measurement is taken. Then, teeth whitening gel is applied into the prepared whitening trays in certain proportions. The person uses these trays for approximately two weeks for four to six hours a day.
Office-Type (Clinical Conditions) Teeth Whitening
Another name of the office-type teeth whitening method, which is performed by a dentist under clinical conditions, is laser teeth whitening. This method is shorter compared to other options. With this feature, it is more ideal for people with time concerns. In office-type teeth whitening, the dentist applies whitening gel on the teeth and is activated with the help of UV light/laser, and is completed in about an hour.
Combined Teeth Whitening
Combined teeth whitening is the application of home-type teeth whitening methods together with clinical conditions. In this application, the clinical procedure is performed first. After two to three days following the clinical procedure, home-type whitening is performed.
Single Tooth (Internal) Whitening
Root canal treatment is among the reasons that can cause tooth discoloration. In such a case, the filling in the relevant tooth is removed and whitening gel is applied to the resulting cavity. Afterwards, the tooth is closed with the help of a temporary filling. Sessions are continued in certain periods such as three days each until the color requested by the person is obtained.
Teeth Whitening Prices in Turkey
Teeth whitening prices in Turkey vary as with other treatments. The characteristics, standards and conditions of the clinic where the procedure will be performed, the professional competence and experience of the dentist, the method by which the teeth will be whitened, and the quality of the materials and materials to be used in the treatment procedure are among the main criteria taken into account when determining the treatment price.
Tooth structure, the level of tooth discoloration and staining, the health status of the gums, missing teeth, tooth decay, etc. If a different treatment will be applied taking into account the situation, this is also decisive on the price of teeth whitening in Turkey.

What Should Be Considered After Teeth Whitening?
We can summarize the points to be considered after the teeth whitening process under three headings:
Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity may occur following the whitening procedure. This sensitivity is often temporary. It tends to improve shortly after the treatment is completed. If you are experiencing severe tooth sensitivity or long-term sensitivity, you should consult your dentist.
Foods and Drinks with Coloring Properties
Another issue to be considered to maintain the success of teeth whitening in the long term is to rearrange consumption habits. In this context, it will be useful to avoid foods and beverages such as tea and coffee that can cause tooth discoloration.
Oral Hygiene
It is important to brush and floss regularly to maintain the whiteness of the teeth. In addition, following the recommendations expressed by the dentist after the procedure will be a helpful approach to maintain the success of the whitening process for a long time.

If the tooth color is close to white, only laser or home-type whitening can be considered if you want to lighten the teeth by a few shades. However, if there is severe discoloration due to intensive consumption of foods and beverages with staining properties, more aggressive solutions such as combined teeth whitening method can be applied.
It is possible to develop mild tooth sensitivity due to teeth whitening methods. This sensitivity, which is generally accepted as normal, is normal unless it is severe and is usually expected to disappear in two days. Teeth whitening does not cause damage to the teeth if it is applied under clinical conditions by a dentist.
Although it varies from person to person, this period usually lasts between two and three weeks.
One of the most important factors determining how long the procedure will last is the kind of diet the person follows. For example, in case of intensive use of colored liquids such as tea, coffee or tobacco products, the whiteness of the teeth may gradually discolor between six months and a year.
Teeth whitening is a procedure that can be applied to anyone who has completed the age of eighteen and has favorable oral and dental health.
Teeth whitening solutions are not applied if the general health status of the person is not favorable.
Teeth whitening starts with the removal of tartar and stains. It is then completed either with the help of a special gel and laser under clinical conditions under the supervision of a dentist, or with the use of plaques prescribed by the dentist at home.
The result achieved with teeth whitening is usually maintained for up to two years. However, if there are consumption habits that may cause stains and discoloration on teeth such as tea, coffee, cigarettes, or carelessness towards oral and dental health, teeth may change color in less than two years.
