Teeth Whitening

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves bleaching the teeth in order to remove stains and to improve the existing color of the teeth by several shades.

Why is Teeth Whitening performed?

Teeth may get stained and turn a darker shade due to excessive consumption of wine, coffee or tea as well as smoking tobacco. Dental health problems caused by poor dental hygiene, diseases that affect the tooth enamel, aging, or usage of certain antibiotics can cause tooth discoloration as well. Lack of oral hygiene causes plaque and tartar deposits to form, leading the teeth to stain and the teeth to get darker over the years. Teeth whitening can alleviate a majority of the staining and discoloration using a safe bleaching solution.

What are the conditions for Teeth Whitening?

A common misconception about teeth whitening is that it can be applied to any kind of teeth regardless of the type or cause of the discoloration. Teeth discoloration that is due to aging, consumption of certain foods or smoking is best treated through teeth whitening. While staining or discoloration due to other reasons can also be addressed through teeth whitening it is best to first go through a dentist examination after arriving in Turkey. Artificial materials such as fillings, crowns, or laminates do not benefit from teeth whitening. The best candidates for teeth whitening have healthy teeth without fillings or restorations and have healthy gum tissues.

What are the things to be considered before Teeth Whitening?

Before the appointment, the patients are advised to clean their teeth thoroughly by brushing and flossing. Additionally, the dentist may perform tartar cleaning before teeth whitening to ensure maximal cleanliness before proceeding with teeth whitening. The patient goes through a dentist consultation before the procedure, where the impression of the teeth are taken to produce a suitable mouthguard.

How is Teeth Whitening performed?

Before proceeding with the procedure, a rubber dam, produced according to the measurements taken, is put over the teeth to protect the gums. The bleaching liquid is then applied onto the teeth and a laser is shone on the teeth to activate the bleaching liquid. The light speeds up the reaction of the bleaching liquid and the color change is achieved quicker.

Teeth Whitening procedure, on average, takes 45 minutes and the patient will immediately be able to notice the improvement of their teeth. Teeth whitening usually lasts up to 3 years but can change depending on the patient's habits.

What are the things to be considered after having Teeth Whitening?

After the teeth whitening procedure to prolong the results, the patients should take care to avoid drinking any beverages with added food coloring, red wine, orange juice, coffee, tea sodas and avoid eating foods with dark colored sauce, highly pigmented berries as well as acidic fruits. Using tobacco products should also be avoided as they are highly likely to cause stains to reappear. Using mouthwash or toothpaste with food coloring should also be avoided for a couple weeks after the procedure.

What are the risks of Teeth Whitening?

The main risk of Teeth Whitening is that the bleaching liquid might cause additional sensitivity of the gums and in some cases even burn the gums. Additionally consumption of certain foods might increase the risk of staining.

Bonjour à tous, aujourd'hui je voulais partager avec vous mon expérience avec Booking surgery, au début j'étais très hésitante mais j'ai changé d'avis, j'ai envoyé le formulaire avec les données et immédiatement après Pierre Elliot m'a contacté, c'était un coordinateur fantastique qui m'a suivi pas à pas, il ne m'a jamais abandonné, il a toujours répondu à mes questions, il m'a accompagné du premier jour où nous nous sommes écrits jusqu'à aujourd'hui !! N'hésitez pas, mon chirurgien était le Dr Ali Tardu, également très disponible, gentil et toujours avec le sourire, les infirmières et tout le personnel de la clinique Yasam étaient fantastiques, je ne pourrais pas dire le contraire,Bill a également aidé mon mari pour le commandes de nourriture pour lui😅,il a été très disponible. Ma renaissance vers une vie meilleure commence avec ma manche gastrique !!! n'hésite pas….💪💪

Sarah Poole reviewed 360fdl, breast uplift and implants

I returned home yesterday after 360fdl, breast uplift and implants with the amazing Dr Emin. I have been so well cared for by everyone I have come into contact with. The nursing care received at Optimed hospital was perfect. I started researching surgeons and hospitals around a year post sleeve and everything kept bringing me back to booking surgery.com. Being an ex nurse I really wanted somewhere there was a complete hospital stay and I wasn't shipped off alone, to a hotel somewhere. I am a bit of a control fiend! I wanted to make sure I was as healthy as I could be pre op, I made sure my nutrition was on point, no drinking for 3 months, upped my exercise and for my return home I've got all my lymphatic massages booked, all my food prepped etc. I covered all the practical stuff. What I didn't prepare myself for at all was the mental changes that need to happen. Changing my dressings today and seeing my body in the mirror. (Id only had quick glances at the hospital when the nurses changed my dressings) to take the time today and actually see myself, the transformation is utterly incredible. I feel like they've put my head on someone elses body! It's going to take me a while to get used to looking so different! Hopefully my head will catch up soon. I don't know if Dr Emin understands how truly amazing he is?! My life will never be the same again!! I am eternally grateful 🙏 I have already paid the deposit for my 2nd surgery! And thank you David Turker for always being at the end of the phone xxx

I know I only did this once but so glad I used bookingsurgery.com for my gastric sleeve. The operation, the after care and the information was really good. My companion was looked after too. Thank you Mike Smith (Coordinator) for arranging and the follow up information and meetings. I will recommend you all to anyone who asks me how it went and is thinking of doing the same. Kind regards Alan Dickinson
