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.
Whitening is the cheapest cosmetic change you can make and the one most often tried first. For some patients it is enough on its own; for others it reveals that the real complaint was shape, not colour, which is a useful thing to learn before committing to veneers.
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 plan: it is done immediately before bonding in the same visit so the composite shade is chosen against your lighter teeth. Home whitening kits are not part of our treatment.
- Why patients choose it
- Two to four shades in one session
- Gums protected, sensitivity managed
- Done right before bonding in the same visit
- No home kit needed

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; a repeat session restores it.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- No coffee, tea, red wine or coloured food for 48 hours
- Sensitivity toothpaste if needed
- Follow your dentist's oral hygiene advice
- Repeat session every 1–2 years if wanted
One to three years; longer with 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 bonding is matched to your lighter shade in the same visit.
Is cosmetic whitening included in a smile makeover?
At Auradentis it is included in most bonding and veneer plans; on its own it is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed, with a written price before you book.
Should I whiten before deciding on veneers?
Usually yes. It costs little, takes an hour and tells you whether colour was the problem. If it was, you may not need veneers at all.
Does whitening damage enamel?
Professional whitening with gum protection and correct concentrations does not. Overusing strong products bought online does, because nobody is checking the concentration or the contact time.
How much is teeth whitening in Turkey?
£150 for a single in-office session at Auradentis, against £300–700 privately in the UK. Teeth cleaning is €50 and deep cleaning €100.
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 in the same visit, then match new bonding to the lighter shade.
