Professional Teeth Whitening in Istanbul: Up to 8 Shades Brighter

Professional in-office teeth whitening delivers dramatic results in a single 60 to 90 minute appointment. Using medical-grade whitening agents activated by advanced LED light, our dental team can brighten your teeth by up to 8 shades in one session. At Estetica Istanbul, teeth whitening is one of our most popular treatments, both as a standalone procedure and as a finishing touch after dental crowns, veneers, or a Hollywood Smile makeover.

Professional Whitening vs At-Home Kits

The difference between professional and over-the-counter whitening is significant:

• Professional whitening uses 35 percent hydrogen peroxide vs 6 to 10 percent in retail kits
• Results in one session vs 2 to 4 weeks with strips or trays
• Custom gum protection prevents irritation (common with store-bought products)
• Supervised by a dentist for safety and optimal results
• Up to 8 shades whiter vs 2 to 3 shades with home kits

The Whitening Procedure

Our whitening protocol follows the Philips Zoom professional system:

• Dental examination and shade assessment using the Vita shade guide
• Protective barrier applied to gums and soft tissues
• Professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel applied to front teeth
• LED activation light positioned for 15 minutes
• Gel removed, fresh gel applied, LED repeated (3 cycles total)
• Fluoride remineralisation treatment to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity
• Final shade check and comparison photos

What to Expect After Whitening

Your teeth will be noticeably whiter immediately. Colour continues to improve slightly over the next 24 to 48 hours as teeth rehydrate. Some patients experience mild sensitivity to cold for 24 to 48 hours, which resolves on its own.

• Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours (coffee, red wine, tea, berries, soy sauce)
• No smoking or tobacco for at least 48 hours
• Use sensitivity toothpaste if needed for a few days
• Results last 12 to 24 months depending on diet and habits

Combining Whitening with Other Dental Work

Important: Whitening only works on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, and bonding do not change colour. If you are planning a Hollywood Smile or other dental restoration, we whiten your natural teeth first, then match the colour of your crowns or veneers to the newly whitened shade. This ensures a perfectly uniform smile.

Pricing

Professional teeth whitening at Estetica Istanbul starts from EUR 200, making it one of the most affordable ways to transform your smile. Many patients add whitening to their dental treatment plan at minimal additional cost.
