Cosmetic whitening avoids the "too white" look: the dentist stops at the shade that matches the whites of your eyes, not the top of the chart.
Cosmetic whitening is planned as part of a smile plan, stopping at a natural shade; if you want the brightest possible result regardless, ask for maximum bleaching and we will explain the trade-offs.
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 shade should I whiten to?
The shade that matches the whites of your eyes looks natural; whiter than that reads as artificial in daylight and on camera.
Should I whiten before bonding or veneers?
Yes, always: composite and porcelain do not whiten, so the new work is matched to your lighter shade after whitening settles for a few days.
Is cosmetic whitening included in a smile makeover?
At Auradentis it is included in most bonding and veneer plans; on its own it costs £[—].
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.
