Genetic factors, structural disorders that occur during the development of teeth, antibiotic use and some foods consumed can lead to discoloration of the teeth. Teeth Whitening applications are the treatment of bringing the teeth to the desired level of whitening by dentists in a clinical setting.
Teeth whitening treatments aim to remove organic and inorganic substances that cause discoloration by forming on tooth enamel, by using chemical components in the form of gels. In this way, the existing color of the teeth can be lightened after the procedure, depending on the structure of one or several tones.

Teeth whitening is applied through different techniques and its whitening varies from person to person. Average whitening time is 2-3 weeks.
Your dentist will direct you to the most suitable option depending on the tone and structure of your teeth before the procedure. If you prefer the home-type teeth whitening method, a plaque suitable for the size of your mouth is prepared. All details about the application are transferred to you by your dentist. Thus, you can continue the treatment at home by wearing the plaque on which you apply tooth whitening gel at regular intervals for approximately 2-4 weeks.
The method known as office type or laser whitening is applied directly in the clinical setting and by your dentist. In the process, which takes about an hour, the whitening gel applied to the surface of your teeth is activated by rays. Since the concentration of chemical components used in this technique is higher, the whitening effect may also be longer. However, the effect differs from person to person.
