Tooth Whitening

There are a few important points to consider after teeth whitening. First, the teeth may be a little sensitive for a few days after the procedure. This is normal and usually passes in a short time. However, to reduce this sensitivity, we recommend that you avoid hot or cold drinks for a while. It is also important to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth after teeth whitening. Habits such as coffee, tea, dark drinks such as red wine and cigarettes can cause stains on the teeth. It is useful to avoid such products for a while to maintain the whitening effect for a long time.

It is also very important to pay attention to tooth brushing and oral hygiene. Regular brushing and flossing after teeth whitening helps to maintain the whiteness of the teeth. Regular dental check-ups are also an important part of maintaining your dental health and whitening results.

If teeth whitening is not a viable option, other cosmetic dentistry solutions are available. These include:

Porcelain veneers.

Tooth bonding.

Tooth-colored fillings.

Dental crowns.

Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the entire tooth surface, hiding any stains or cracks that may be present. They are bonded to teeth to change their size, shape, length or color and are tooth-colored to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps between teeth and treat slightly misaligned teeth, so they also have some orthodontic uses.

Like porcelain veneers, dental bonding is used to repair stained and broken teeth. Dental bonding is one of the most cost-effective procedures and gives immediate results.

Tooth-colored fillings are made of acrylic or plastic. Unlike gray or silver amalgam fillings, composite resin fillings match the actual tooth color. 

Crowns are actually a kind of armor for the tooth itself. This process protects and strengthens the tooth and, of course, improves its aesthetic appearance. In terms of structure, crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, ceramic or combinations of these materials.

Teeth whitening in Turkey is among the popular dental treatments among international patients.  Teeth whitening treatments are the fastest, safest and easiest way for those looking for a beautiful smile with brighter and whiter teeth in a short time. Turkey is among the countries with the lowest cost. Dentists in Turkey serve their patients by using both up-to-date technologies and effective whitening methods. In this process, the most appropriate whitening method is determined by taking into account the expectations of the patients and the current condition of their teeth.

The methods used for teeth whitening in Turkey include office whitening (performed in a clinic under the supervision of a dentist), home whitening kits (applied at home under the guidance of a dentist) and their combinations. Each method has its own advantages and limitations.

It is possible to say that the overall success rate of teeth whitening procedures in Turkey is high. Besides this: Dentists in Turkey provide detailed information to patients before and after the teeth whitening procedure, ensuring that the process is carried out successfully. They inform patients about what to do to maintain the effects of teeth whitening for a long time. However, it is important to remember that such aesthetic procedures vary from person to person and it is important to consult a professional dentist to get the best result.

A professional teeth whitening treatment is usually done in a dental clinic and can take several sessions. Each session usually lasts between 30 minutes and an hour. Of course, this process can vary depending on the condition of the person's teeth and the desired level of whiteness. In some cases, it can take several weeks for the teeth to reach the desired whiteness. In addition, home care and regular check-ups are important to maintain the effects of this procedure for a long time. Changes in the color of the teeth can often be permanent for several years, but this can vary depending on the person's dental care habits and lifestyle

Teeth whitening can have some side effects, but these are usually temporary and not serious. The most common side effect is tooth sensitivity. This occurs because the substances used during the whitening process temporarily affect the tooth enamel. This sensitivity usually subsides within a few days. You may also experience mild irritation of the gums. Teeth whitening agents can sometimes come into contact with the gums, causing short-term discomfort or redness.

In rare cases, overuse of whitening agents can cause erosion of tooth enamel, which can make teeth more sensitive and brittle. When the instructions for teeth whitening products are followed and the procedure is performed under the supervision of a dentist, such serious side effects are unlikely. It is important to remember that everyone reacts differently and if you are concerned about any side effects, it is best to consult a dentist. The side effects of teeth whitening are usually temporary and can be minimized with proper application.

People who want to have teeth whitening should have healthy teeth and gums. If there are problems such as cavities, gum diseases or tooth wear, it is important to treat these health problems first.  Before the procedure, a dentist examination and scaling should be performed. In general, teeth whitening is suitable for adults. In children and adolescents, such procedures are not recommended due to the immaturity of the teeth. Some people may be sensitive or allergic to the chemicals used in the whitening process. If this is the case, teeth whitening is not recommended. Dental restorations such as dental fillings, crowns or veneers do not react to whitening. If you have such restorations in your mouth, you may not achieve the same color as your natural teeth.

If you want to keep your teeth white for longer after whitening, you need to pay attention to some important points. Brushing and flossing regularly helps prevent plaque buildup and staining. It is important to get into the habit of brushing twice a day and flossing before bedtime. Some foods and drinks can stain teeth. It is important to limit the consumption of beverages such as coffee, tea, wine and dark fruit juices.  Tobacco products can also cause yellowing and staining of teeth, so it is important to avoid them.

Regular visits to the dentist are important to maintain the health of your teeth and detect potential problems early. Also, professional cleaning helps to remove stains from teeth. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your mouth clean and reduce the impact of food debris and acids on your teeth. We especially recommend drinking water after consuming colored drinks. Whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes recommended or approved by your dentist can be used to maintain the whiteness of your teeth. However, overuse of these products can cause tooth sensitivity, so they should be used according to the instructions.
