Brighten Your Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening at DC Total Care

Wish your smile was a few shades brighter? Have coffee, tea, or time dulled the natural brilliance of your teeth?

A radiant, white smile can significantly boost your confidence and light up your entire face! At DC Total Care in Istanbul, we offer professional Teeth Whitening (also known as bleaching) services designed to safely and effectively lift stains and restore the youthful brightness of your smile.

Over time, it’s completely normal for teeth to darken due to factors like age, diet (coffee, tea, red wine, curries), smoking, or certain medications. While regular brushing and cleaning remove surface plaque, professional whitening goes deeper to tackle stains embedded within the tooth structure.

What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional Teeth Whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses safe, approved bleaching agents (typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to lighten the colour of your tooth enamel and the underlying dentin. The goal is to break down the discoloured molecules within the tooth, revealing a brighter, whiter shade.

It’s important to distinguish professional whitening performed under dental supervision from over-the-counter products. Professional treatments use stronger, more effective agents and application methods designed for optimal results and safety.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe? Does It Harm Teeth?

This is a common and important question! Yes, professional teeth whitening performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist is considered very safe. Extensive research and clinical studies have shown that the materials and techniques used do not damage tooth enamel when applied correctly.

Here’s why professional whitening is the safest route:

• Expert Assessment: Before whitening, our dentists assess your oral health to ensure you’re a suitable candidate. We check for cavities, gum disease, or restorations that won’t whiten (like crowns or veneers), which need consideration.
• Gum Protection: During in-office procedures, we carefully protect your gums and soft tissues from the bleaching agent.
• Controlled Concentration: We use professional-grade gels at concentrations proven to be effective yet safe under controlled conditions.
• Post-Treatment Care: We may recommend or apply fluoride treatments after whitening to minimize sensitivity and further protect your enamel.

It’s the unsupervised use of potentially abrasive or ill-fitting over-the-counter products that carries a higher risk of damaging teeth or irritating gums.

Temporary Sensitivity: It’s normal to experience some temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold after whitening. This is usually mild and typically subsides within 24-48 hours. We can offer advice on managing sensitivity if it occurs.

How White Will My Teeth Get, and How Long Does It Last?

The results vary depending on the initial shade of your teeth and the type of staining. However, professional whitening can often lighten teeth by several shades – sometimes dramatically up to eight to ten shades brighter!

The longevity of your brighter smile depends largely on your lifestyle habits after the treatment. While your teeth won’t revert entirely to their original darker shade, exposure to staining agents will gradually cause some discolouration over time.

• Results typically last from six months to two years, or even longer for some individuals.
• Avoiding or reducing consumption of staining foods/drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries) and quitting smoking will significantly prolong the effects.
• Maintaining excellent oral hygiene (brushing, flossing) is crucial.
• Periodic touch-up treatments (like using a professional take-home kit provided by us for a night or two) can help maintain your desired level of whiteness. We often recommend a check-up and potential touch-up after 6 months.
