Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)
You deserve a brighter and more dazzling smile! With teeth whitening—one of the most popular aesthetic dentistry treatments—you can achieve a radiant smile quickly and easily.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is an effective procedure used to remove stains and discoloration caused by various factors, restoring the natural brightness of your teeth.
How is Teeth Whitening Performed?
Over time, staining substances in food and drinks, smoking, certain medications, trauma, genetics, and systemic diseases can darken the natural color of teeth. Teeth whitening treatments—in-office and at-home bleaching—can lighten the shade of your teeth by several tones in a short time.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
- The current tooth shade is determined using a color scale.
- Protective measures are applied to prevent the whitening agent from coming into contact with the tongue, cheeks, lips, and gums.
- A professional whitening agent is applied to the teeth and activated using laser or an enhanced light source.
- At the end of the procedure, the new tooth shade is assessed. If necessary, the whitening process can be supported with at-home bleaching.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
- A custom-made tray is prepared based on the patient's dental structure.
- A low-intensity whitening gel is used in the tray over a specified period.
- This method takes longer than in-office whitening but provides effective and lasting results.
