Tooth whitening at Auradentis in Istanbul can target a single darker tooth or the full smile, in one session; it is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed, with a written price before you book. A single discoloured tooth is usually covered with a composite veneer, because internal bleaching needs several sessions.

35 min · Istanbul AirportWhat it is
One dark tooth is a different job from a full-arch whitening; internal bleaching or bonding may be the right answer, and the photos tell us which.
A single dark tooth is covered with a composite veneer for visiting patients (internal bleaching needs several sessions over two weeks); whitening the whole arch is a different procedure and the photos tell us which you need.
Whitening lifts colour from inside enamel and dentine. It cannot change the colour of a filling, a crown or a veneer, so an old composite on a front tooth will look darker afterwards and is usually replaced in the same visit once the new shade has settled.
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
Can one dark tooth be whitened?
Not within a short visit: internal bleaching needs several sessions over about two weeks. A composite veneer covers a single dark tooth in one visit instead.
Why is one of my teeth darker?
Usually an old injury or root canal has darkened it from inside; surface whitening will not fix it; internal bleaching needs several sessions, so for visiting patients a composite veneer is the practical answer.
What does single-tooth whitening cost?
A composite veneer on one tooth is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed; you receive a written price before you book.
Will whitening work on one dark tooth?
External whitening lightens the whole arch, not one tooth. A single dark tooth usually needs composite over it, because internal bleaching takes several appointments across weeks.
How long does it last?
One to three years, depending on coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. A repeat session rather than a daily product is the way to refresh it.
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.
