How professional whitening works
In professional whitening the dentist applies a whitening gel to your teeth and activates it with laser light, after covering and protecting your gums. The gel lifts stains out of the enamel without damaging it, so the whole tooth looks lighter — not just the surface.
Teeth darken over the years with everything we eat and drink: coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco leave stains in the enamel, and the tooth beneath becomes slightly darker with age. Whitening strips and toothpastes from a shop work on the surface, slowly and unevenly; a professional treatment works deeper and evenly, under a dentist's supervision, in one session instead of weeks. In the UK, whitening with professional-strength products is a treatment that only dental professionals may carry out, and at TUA Dental it is done by our dentists.
Is whitening right for you?
Whitening works best on healthy teeth that have turned yellowish or brownish with coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco or simply the years. Your dentist checks your teeth and gums first, and if there is tartar it is removed before the whitening begins.
- Good candidates: natural teeth with yellow or brown staining; anyone who wants a brighter smile before crowns or veneers, so that everything matches.
- Crowns, veneers and fillings don't whiten: ceramic and composite keep their colour. If you have them on front teeth, your dentist tells you how the result will look next to them.
- Teeth and gums should be healthy: decay or gum problems are treated first; your dentist checks this at the examination.
Your whitening appointment, step by step
The whole appointment takes about an hour: a check-up and X-ray, a scale and polish, then the whitening itself, with the gel activated for about 20 minutes. You leave with teeth two to three shades lighter and a short list of what to avoid for 48 hours.
- Check-up and X-ray. The dentist examines your teeth and gums and takes an X-ray, so any problem is seen before the whitening, not after.
- Scale and polish. Tartar is removed — usually 15 to 20 minutes, depending on what the dentist finds — and the teeth are polished, which removes surface stains.
- Whitening. Your gums are covered and protected, the whitening gel is applied and activated with laser light for about 20 minutes.
- Result and aftercare. You see the result straight away. For 48 hours avoid anything that stains — coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, curry and dark sauces — so that the freshly whitened teeth keep their new shade. After that, life goes back to normal.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Done professionally, yes: the gel works on the stains, not on the structure of the tooth, and your gums are protected throughout the session. The one common side effect is sensitivity to hot and cold for a day or two, which passes by itself.
That is the difference supervision makes. A dentist checks your teeth and gums before whitening, protects the gums during it and adjusts the treatment to your teeth; shop-bought kits do none of this. Crowns, veneers and fillings won't change colour, which is why the dentist tells you before you start how the result will look next to them.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Six to eighteen months, depending on your habits: coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring the colour back sooner, and avoiding them keeps it longer. When the shade starts to fade, one more session refreshes it — on your next holiday in Kuşadası, for example.
Three things help the result last: brushing twice a day and cleaning between your teeth, a scale and polish at your regular check-ups, and rinsing with water after coffee, tea or red wine. If you are thinking about veneers or crowns as well, remember that ceramic keeps its colour for good — so the shade you choose for them is chosen once.
Whitening before veneers or crowns
If you are planning veneers or crowns on some teeth, whiten your own teeth first: ceramic cannot be whitened later, so your new teeth are made to match the brighter shade. At TUA Dental both happen on the same visit — whitening on day one, then your veneers or crowns made in our own CAD/CAM lab to the new colour.
How to choose the right shade for crowns and veneers — and the colour chart dentists use — is explained in veneers or crowns: shaving, materials and colour chart. Full smile makeovers are on our pages for veneers and the Hollywood Smile.

How much does teeth whitening cost in Turkey?
At TUA Dental in Kuşadası professional teeth whitening costs from £85 (€100), and the price includes a check-up, an X-ray, a scale and a polish. In the UK, professional whitening typically costs £400–£850 in the chair, or £300–£500 for a home kit supplied by a dentist, usually without the scale and polish. If you are having crowns, veneers or implants with us, whitening is done on the same visit and listed in your free treatment plan with everything else.
How long does professional whitening take?
About an hour in total. The dentist examines your teeth and takes an X-ray, removes any tartar — usually 15 to 20 minutes — and polishes the teeth; then your gums are protected and the whitening gel is activated with laser light for about 20 minutes. You see the result straight away, two to three shades lighter than your teeth were. If you are on holiday in Kuşadası, it fits easily into one morning or afternoon.
Is teeth whitening painful?
No. Your gums are covered and protected during the session, and the treatment itself is not painful. Some people's teeth are sensitive to hot and cold for a day or two afterwards; it passes by itself, and a toothpaste for sensitive teeth helps. A professional session is gentler on teeth and gums than repeated shop-bought kits, because a dentist checks your teeth first and controls the treatment throughout.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Six to eighteen months, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring the colour back sooner; brushing twice a day, rinsing with water after dark drinks and a scale and polish at your regular check-ups keep it longer. When the shade starts to fade, one more session refreshes it — many of our patients book it on their next holiday in Kuşadası.
Can crowns or veneers be whitened?
No. Ceramic crowns and veneers keep the colour they were made in — they don't stain, but whitening doesn't change them either, and the same goes for composite fillings. That is why, if you are planning veneers or crowns, we whiten your own teeth first and make the new teeth to match the brighter shade. If you already have crowns or veneers on front teeth, the dentist tells you before you start how the result will look next to them.
What should I avoid after teeth whitening?
For 48 hours, anything that stains: coffee, tea, red wine, cola, tobacco, curry, tomato sauce, soy sauce and other dark foods and drinks. Water, white fish, chicken, rice, pasta with light sauces and other pale foods are fine. After 48 hours you eat and drink as usual. Rinsing with water after coffee or red wine keeps the result longer.
I'm on holiday in Kuşadası — can I book whitening?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the days you are in Kuşadası and we book a time that suits you; the clinic is open seven days a week, Sundays included. The appointment takes about an hour, with the check-up, X-ray, scale and polish included in the price from £85 (€100), and an English-speaking coordinator looks after you from your first message.
