Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic dental procedure that removes stains and yellowing that build up over time, giving teeth a whiter appearance; it can be applied both in the clinic and at home without harming the teeth, and it boosts self-confidence.

In-office whitening uses a high-concentration gel and a special light source under professional supervision; the procedure takes about an hour and delivers fast results. At-home whitening uses custom-made trays for a longer but more affordable process. Laser whitening is another option that gives fast results at a higher cost.

The procedure is not painful, though temporary sensitivity may occur. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with tooth sensitivity or gum problems, and those under 16; these patients should consult a dentist first.

Results usually become visible within 1-2 weeks; the effect is not permanent and teeth may yellow again over time. Avoiding staining foods and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine in the first days helps the result last longer.
