Teeth Whitening Treatment
A radiant smile can boost confidence and leave a lasting impression. Many people are now choosing teeth whitening treatments to achieve that bright, captivating smile. If you’re one of them, consider Tress Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, for a professional teeth whitening experience.
What is the Teeth Whitening Procedure?
Teeth whitening is a safe, effective cosmetic dental procedure that lightens discolored teeth and removes plaque and tartar. The process is simple:
- Consultation: Your dentist will evaluate your teeth to determine if you’re a good candidate for whitening.
- Preparation: A protective rubber shield is applied to your gums.
- Application: A whitening agent is applied using a custom-made tray to fit comfortably over your teeth.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyday habits, such as drinking tea, coffee, red wine, or smoking, can dull the natural brightness of your teeth. While at-home whitening products exist, they often lack the strength and consistency of professional treatments, making professional teeth whitening the best choice for fast, safe, and impressive results.
At Tress Clinic, we use professional-grade whitening agents—typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide—which penetrate the enamel to lighten the teeth’s color. With a higher peroxide concentration (35% to 45%) than at-home kits, a single session usually delivers visibly lighter teeth.
Is Teeth Whitening Painful?
Teeth whitening may cause mild sensitivity, especially for those with naturally sensitive teeth. Your dentist will select appropriate whitening products and adjust the treatment’s duration to minimize discomfort. After treatment, consider using a desensitizing toothpaste and avoid extreme temperatures in food and drinks.
How Long Does a Teeth Whitening Session Take?
A professional teeth whitening session typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your teeth’s condition. The number of sessions required may vary, based on discoloration levels and tooth sensitivity. Consult with our medical team to get a clear estimate for your unique case.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Ideal candidates for teeth whitening have healthy teeth and gums, with no major restorations. However, teeth whitening may not be suitable for:
- Children under 16
- People with cavities, tooth decay, or allergies to peroxide
What Does Teeth Whitening Cost in Istanbul, Turkey?
In Turkey, the average cost of teeth whitening ranges from $100 to $700, depending on the clinic. At Tress Clinic, we offer affordable, high-quality whitening treatments. The lower cost in Turkey is due to favorable exchange rates and government support for health tourism, allowing you to enjoy excellent dental care at a fraction of the cost in other countries.
Aftercare for a Long-Lasting Smile
To maintain your newly brightened smile, follow these aftercare steps:
- Avoid very hot, cold, or acidic foods and drinks.
- Stay away from colored foods and beverages for 48 hours.
- Quit smoking and use a straw when drinking colored drinks.
Professional teeth whitening uses higher concentrations of whitening agents than over-the-counter products, yielding faster, longer-lasting results. Custom-fitted trays ensure even coverage, unlike the “one size fits all” over-the-counter strips that can leave areas untreated.
For those on a budget, consider that while over-the-counter products may seem cheaper, they may require multiple applications to achieve noticeable results. Professional whitening is a safer, quicker way to achieve your desired bright smile.
