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.

Jayden reviewed Sleeve feb 2023 Dr Katar & 360 FDL uplift & Implants April 2024 Dr Nebil

So I originally researched a lot of companies to have my sleeve a year prior to actually having it, and booking surgery was always the one that seemed to stand out the most for all the right reasons. I went ahead and had my sleeve in February 2023 done by the very talented Dr Katar, after losing over 8 and half stone, then maintaining for several months I decided it was time for plastics, so I got in contact with my coordinator Rob Campbell and began researching which plastic surgeon I wanted, Rob was very helpful through each step of the booking process, any questions I had he answered in detail, I went ahead and booked with Dr Nebil Selimouğlu to have a 360 FDL, mons lift, muscle repair and breast uplift with implants under the muscle. I had this surgery done on 15th April 2024 at Yasam hospital, and I don’t have any complaints, the hospital was well equipped and clean, the nurses, staff & translators was all great, if I did occur anything I was unsure of I told one of the translators and it was dealt with straight away, Oscar was my favourite translator, he was very caring and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Nabil is a magician, he’s work is impeccable and he is such a nice caring man. He came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was there, I think having full hospital stay while there really helps with recovery. I am very early into my recovery journey but already thinking about my next round of plastics again with Dr Nebil. I can’t recommend this company, doctors, nurses, staff and translators enough! Thanks all at booking surgery, I will see you again in the future.

customer reviewed Dr Yalcin At Medistanbul

FDL & MINI BRA LINE LIFT This was my second lot of plastic surgery with booking surgery. My surgeon was Dr Yalcin, he is also known as Dr Yummy🤣. My Coordinator was Nina Ord and she had arranged a transfer from the airport to the hospital for when I arrived, the driver was there ready and waiting as soon as I got to gate 8 (the collection point) he helped me and my companion with our bags and was very polite. The transfer from the airport to the hospital was about 30mins. I was then greeted by two members of booking surgery staff April & Lilly. My room wasn’t quite ready but while we were waiting they took myself and my companion for something to eat. Medistanbul is a new hospital that booking surgery are using so I was quite nervous about going somewhere that I hadn’t been before as my previous surgery was at medicine with Dr Yalcin. All pre op tests was done within a few hours and I was then able to walk about the mall next door to the hospital and check out my surroundings. The rooms are spacious, clean, you also have Netflix to watch too. Fast forward to the day of my surgery I reminded Dr Yalcin that I was quite poorly with my first lot of plastics and he was able to change some medication around so I wasn’t poorly when I come around. I am currently 4 days post op and I couldn’t be happier. The aftercare from Dr Yalcin has been great. Always answered any questions or worries I had. Translators Morgan, Naz and Lilly are always around if you need any help with anything. Always knocking on your door checking in on you and asking if you need anything. The cleaners have been cleaning my room on a regular basis, the nurses have been answering my buzzer when needed. Kept me up to date with my pain killers and ext. Google translate is a good app to have just in case you need something and the translators are busy with another patient. Over all my experience at medistanbul has been fab and if I wanted to come back for anything else with Dr Yalcin wouldn’t hesitate.

Natalie Innes reviewed Amazing experience by the best team!

During my time looking into various surgeons I came across many reviews and friends who had been to Turkey. I work within a professional legal setting and made checks into the experience of the surgeon and his work prior to being at Optimed. It took time to get a date that suited my work commitments as I needed time to recover. I was soo glad I waited for the best surgeon who specialises in real curves and getting the best shape to enhance my shape and goals. Dr Mehmet Emin Atil spent time going over my plans for surgery and explored the procedure in detail. He has faultless english and a reassuring nature. I do not need other surgery but my family members will and I wont hesitate to recommend. The hospital and staff are soo friendly and kind. I even managed to teach them some Glaswegian. The hospital is absolutely spotless and is central for companions to explore and have time for themselves whilst you recover. It was great having support by all the staff who are so friendly and helpful with everything. Optimed for me was a pleasant stay and the hospital is far superior to anything you will experience in the Uk.

Becki Acko reviewed Booking Surgery 3rd visit and once again very happy

I have been a total of 3 times to Istanbul via booking surgery. Each time I book Dr Soner Karaali as he is just amazing! From first contact and booking with my co-ordination Nina to leaving I never have had any issues or complaints. You are picked up from the airport and taken to your hospital, on arrival all relevant tests are carried out to ensure you are fit and healthy for the surgery. On the morning the surgeon visits and goes through what you would like as pre discussed and once agreed for desired results you are drawn up and then taken to theatre. The hospital staff, nurses and cleaning crew are always so kind and caring, friendly and professional. You have interpreters on hand 24/7 asking if you would like/need anything. All meals are provided too as well as protein shakes throughout the day. This visit I’ve had the amazing Lily, Morgan, Frank, Naz and Gabriel. Nothing is too much trouble at all they are fantastic. And most importantly my surgical results are as always phenomenal if I do say so myself 🩷

Marisa Mercieca reviewed Highly recommended

I have been looking through this surgery for years. Finally I have decided to make it and here I am !! I can’t thank all the lovely people that helped me through this journey. It all started from a Facebook add and I ve sent a request to learn more information. Very shortly the consultant contacted me on what’s app. She was super helpful and friendly, I felt well prepared before coming to Turkey. When we got here we found a driver waiting for us and took us to the hospital. My partner came on the trip with me and was allowed to spend everyday with me including three meals a day and sleeping in the same room which was very supportive for me. I cannot not mention the gentle translators that works here, they come to check on you very frequent and make sure you have everything you need and you are comfortable. Most of all a big thank you goes to the lovely nurses and care workers!! They are super kind and helpful!! Their care they show for the patients is impeccable. Thank you all for your dedication. Also i would like to thank Dr Ali Tardu and his team that they have done a super job! Thank you all ❤️ surely recommend!

Pauline Davie reviewed Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift…

Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift with Dr Soner through my coordinator Mike Smith who arranged everything. From being met at the airport, transfer to the hospital, all necessary tests, scans, X-rays, etc. Met my surgeon the next morning to discuss my operation. From start to finish I have been looked after 100%. Interpreters are on hand 24/7 to help with anything you want or need. The rooms are large, modern, well equipped and clean. I was so excited about having this procedure and am delighted with my results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BookingSurgery.com to anyone who’s looking for any plastic surgery procedures.
