What is Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Teeth whitening treatment is a procedure performed to lighten the color of teeth. It is generally preferred to remove stains and yellowing on teeth. Teeth whitening methods range from home-use products to professional clinical treatments.

Professional whitening procedures performed by dentists yield faster and more effective results. This treatment typically involves stronger whitening gels and light therapy.

Teeth whitening treatment can eliminate stains on teeth; however, overuse can lead to tooth sensitivity. Furthermore, teeth whitening treatment may not be suitable for everyone. You can consult your dentist to determine the most suitable method for you.

In Which Cases Can It Be Performed?

Teeth whitening treatment is generally preferred in the following cases:

1. Yellowing related to aging
2. Food and beverage stains
3. Cases where dental hygiene and care are insufficient
4. Discolorations due to fluorosis or antibiotic use
5. Internal tooth discolorations
6. After orthodontic brace treatment

In Which Cases Should It Not Be Performed?

Cases where teeth whitening treatment should not be performed include:

1. If you have dental caries or gum diseases
2. If you have fractures or severe tooth wear
3. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
4. If you are under 18 years old
5. If you have allergies or sensitivity conditions
6. If you have fillings or porcelain crowns/veneers on your teeth

whitening treatment is not recommended.

• Duration: It usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
