Professional teeth whitening in Turkey costs €150-300. Zoom, laser, and custom tray options available. Results last 1-3 years. Can be combined with veneers or cleaning during your dental trip.
Teeth whitening is one of the fastest and most effective ways to rejuvenate your smile. However, there are significant differences between professional clinical treatments and over-the-counter products.
Professional whitening is performed under dental supervision using high-concentration bleaching gels. It achieves 6-8 shades of improvement in a single session, with immediate, visible results. Gum and enamel safety are carefully monitored throughout.
At-home whitening uses pharmacy kits or whitening toothpastes with low-concentration gels. Results are slow and limited, typically achieving 1-3 shades of improvement over several weeks.
Three main professional whitening methods are available in a clinical setting:
Zoom whitening: One of the most popular methods, Zoom uses a special LED light to activate hydrogen peroxide gel. It delivers 6-8 shades of whitening in a single 45-60 minute session. Sensitivity risk is low and results are long-lasting.
Laser whitening: A laser beam activates the bleaching gel, potentially delivering faster results than Zoom with up to 8 shades of improvement. It is also suitable for sensitive teeth.
Custom tray whitening: Your dentist creates trays moulded to your mouth for professional-grade home use. Clinical-strength gel is worn overnight for 2-4 weeks. Ideal for those who prefer gradual, natural-looking results.

Professional teeth whitening in Turkey is typically completed in a single appointment:
Examination and cleaning: Your dentist assesses your oral health and performs a professional cleaning before whitening. Any decay or gum issues are treated first.
Shade assessment: Your current tooth shade is recorded and the target shade is discussed.
Gum protection: A protective barrier gel is applied to your gums.
Whitening application: Bleaching gel is applied to your teeth and activated with LED or laser light. This is typically repeated in 3-4 cycles of 15 minutes each.
Results evaluation: A shade comparison is made and aftercare instructions are provided.
Professional teeth whitening can make your teeth 4 to 8 shades whiter. Results vary depending on your tooth structure, the degree of staining, and the method chosen.
The best outcomes are achieved with stains from tea, coffee, and tobacco. Intrinsic discolouration from the natural tooth structure may show more limited improvement. The first 48 hours after whitening are crucial — you should avoid coloured food and drinks during this period.
Professional whitening results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your lifestyle:
Non-smokers with low tea and coffee intake enjoy longer-lasting results
Consistent oral hygiene (brushing twice daily, flossing) extends longevity
Professional cleaning every 6 months is recommended
Touch-up sessions can maintain results when needed

When visiting Turkey for dental work, combining whitening with other treatments saves both time and money:
Veneers + whitening: Whitening is done before veneers so they can be matched to your newly brightened shade.
Professional cleaning + whitening: Results are significantly better when tartar removal precedes whitening.
Hollywood Smile package: Veneers, whitening, and gum contouring offered as a combined treatment.
At Smile & Holiday, we offer special pricing on combined treatment packages.
