FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will I Feel Pain During the Whitening Process?
It is normal to have tooth sensitivity from time to time, but not pain during the procedure and on the day after the procedure. But this is a temporary situation.
Will My Teeth Whiten Immediately After Whitening?
Whitening time may vary from person to person. For example, yellow-toned teeth whiten much more quickly than gray or teeth that are discolored due to antibiotic use.
But most people’s teeth generally whiten in 2-3 weeks. Otherwise, additional sessions or home bleaching support can be given according to the tooth tone of the person.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Retain Its Effect?
Coffee, cigarettes, tea, etc. If it is consumed frequently, re-whitening may be required between 6 months and 1 year as the teeth will become discolored.
However, in people who have good oral care and stay away from colored foods as much as possible, whitening maintains its effect for up to 2 years. Remember, the better you protect it, the longer the effect will be!

If there is a structural defect (amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta) concerning the enamel or dentin in the teeth, whitening cannot be performed. In cases with advanced tetracycline stains on the teeth, whitening may be effective to a certain extent, but it is impossible to completely remove the stains. Bleaching cannot be done in individuals with broken, cracked or hypersensitivity teeth. Bleaching cannot be performed in individuals with excessive gingival recession and exposed roots.
Can The Desired Whiteness Be Achieved At All Times?
