Frequently Asked Questions

How is teeth whitening performed?

Teeth whitening is a procedure that should be performed under the control of a physician. Whitening gels applied to the outer surface of the discoloured tooth react with a special light applied. In this way, the teeth whiten very quickly and effectively. In a procedure performed in this way, an average of 3-4 tones of tooth colour is lightened in a single session.

Can teeth whitening be applied to everyone?

Teeth whitening is an extremely safe procedure that can be applied to everyone. If this procedure is performed in reliable clinics and under the control of a physician, there will be no harm. The bleaching process, which is not recommended for people who are still growing and developing, should also be done carefully for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

What should be considered in teeth whitening?

A slight sensitivity may be experienced during or after the teeth whitening process. However, this sensitivity will disappear between 1 and 3 days. The important thing here is to fulfil the steps required by the teeth whitening process completely. When performed by professional teams, this procedure will not cause any harm.

How long does it take for my teeth to become maximally white?

The results of the teeth whitening process vary according to the person. While some teeth whiten in a few days, some teeth take a month or two to whiten. But the teeth of an average person whiten between 2 and 3 weeks. If the yellowing of your teeth is more than greying, the whitening process will be much better. However, it will be more difficult to whiten the greying caused by antibiotic use. In this case, it will take a little longer to achieve the result.
