The health of our teeth is extremely important. Even a minor pain or sensitivity can affect our entire day. However, the appearance of our teeth is just as important as their health. Even if there is no pain, maintaining daily oral hygiene is essential. Our smile is our visual signature, and the appearance of our teeth directly affects our overall image when we speak or smile.
Drinks such as tea and coffee, along with various foods consumed throughout the day, can cause discoloration and staining on the teeth. These stains occur on the outer surface of the teeth—the enamel. Deeper discolorations that settle into the inner layers cannot be removed through regular brushing. Poor oral hygiene also plays a major role in causing these stains.
For this reason, professional teeth whitening treatments are applied to restore the teeth to a white and healthy appearance. While surface-level discoloration may improve with daily cleaning, deeper stains require whitening treatments performed under a dentist’s supervision. Contrary to common belief, teeth whitening does not damage the teeth when performed properly and tailored to your needs.
However, whitening is not recommended in certain cases—such as gum disease, exposed root surfaces, or large restorations—where the treatment may not be effective. Your dentist can determine whether you are suitable for the procedure.

There are two main types of whitening treatments:
This treatment is performed by the dentist in the clinic. Lasting around 45–55 minutes, it is the safest and fastest method. A special gel and laser/light technology are used to whiten the teeth by 2 to 4 shades, depending on the tooth structure. After the procedure, it is essential to continue your routine oral care.
In this method, personalized trays are prepared based on your dental measurements. Special whitening gel is applied inside the tray, and the treatment is used at home for 5 hours daily over 5–7 days. As with office whitening, regular oral hygiene must be continued afterward.
After whitening, temporary sensitivity—lasting 1–2 days—is completely normal.
Regardless of the chosen method, the most suitable whitening type should be determined together with your dentist.

The longevity of whitening varies from person to person. For individuals who frequently consume tea, coffee, or similar staining drinks, the results typically last 3–4 months. For those who maintain a good oral care routine and monitor their diet, the whitening effect can last much longer.
Around 6 months after the initial treatment, a touch-up session may be applied before the teeth return to their original shade, extending the whitening results. With proper care, the teeth can retain their whiteness for 1–2 years.
