Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and discoloration from the surface of the teeth to achieve a brighter, whiter appearance. It is an effective solution not only for enhancing aesthetics but also for boosting self-confidence.

Teeth whitening is suitable for individuals with tooth discoloration or staining who have overall good oral health. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with certain gum diseases. After a detailed dental examination, your dentist will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.

After a whitening procedure, it is recommended to avoid colored foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, red wine, and cigarettes) for the first 24–48 hours. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following your dentist’s post-treatment instructions are essential to preserve the whitening results.

When performed by professional dentists, teeth whitening treatments do not damage the enamel. The whitening gels used are safe and, when applied correctly, do not negatively affect your dental health.

The duration of the treatment depends on the desired level of whiteness and the method used.

The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on an individual’s oral hygiene habits and dietary choices. On average, the effects last between 6 months and 2 years. With regular maintenance and dental check-ups, the results can be extended for a longer period.
