"Bleaching" and "whitening" describe the same peroxide process; bleaching lightens beyond the natural shade, whitening restores it.
Bleaching goes beyond your natural shade and suits patients who want a noticeably brighter smile; if you only want to remove staining and return to your original colour, standard whitening is enough.
Professional whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide gel activated by light, applied by a dentist with the gums protected. It lifts stains from coffee, tea, wine and age that toothpaste cannot.
We recommend it on its own for healthy, unrestored teeth, and as the first step of a bonding or veneer plan so the shade of the new work is chosen against your lighter teeth.
- Why patients choose it
- Two to eight shades in one session
- Gums protected, sensitivity managed
- Home kit to maintain the result
- Sets the shade before bonding or veneers

What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Sensitivity
Common for one to three days. We use desensitising gel and shorter cycles for sensitive teeth.
Uneven result
Fillings, crowns and veneers keep their colour. We show you before starting which ones would need replacing to match.
It fades
One to three years depending on coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Top-ups with the home kit keep it.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- No coffee, tea, red wine or coloured food for 48 hours
- Home kit as instructed for two weeks
- Sensitivity toothpaste if needed
- Top up every 6–12 months
One to three years; longer with the home kit and less staining food and drink.
Questions patients ask
What is the difference between bleaching and whitening?
Same peroxide chemistry; bleaching lightens beyond the natural shade, whitening removes stains to restore it. The gel strength and cycles differ.
How much does teeth bleaching cost in Turkey?
£[—] at Auradentis with a home kit included, compared with £300–700 in the UK.
Can I bleach if I have fillings or crowns in front?
You can, but they will not change colour; we show you before starting which ones would need replacing to match.
How much is teeth whitening in Turkey?
£[—] for an in-clinic session with a home kit at Auradentis (indicative £100–350 in Turkey), versus £300–700 in the UK.
Is it worth flying for whitening alone?
Usually not: the saving rarely covers flights. It makes sense as part of a bonding, veneer or check-up trip, which is how most patients do it.
Does it damage enamel?
Professional whitening with gum protection and correct concentrations does not damage enamel. Overuse of strong home products can.
Will my veneers or crowns whiten?
No. Only natural enamel whitens. We whiten first, then match new work to the lighter shade.
