What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment to remove yellowing, stains or discoloration of the teeth. Over time, teeth can become yellow or stained due to factors such as smoking, coffee, tea, acidic drinks or aging.
Teeth whitening eliminates these stains and provides a whiter, brighter and healthier smile. Safir Dental Polyclinic we apply the most reliable and effective methods for teeth whitening.

Who is Teeth Whitening Suitable for?
Teeth whitening offers an effective solution for the following situations:

• Yellowing of teeth as a result of coffee, tea and smoking: These habits can lead to unwanted stains on the teeth.
  
  
• Color Changes Due to Aging: Teeth naturally yellow with age. Teeth whitening can correct age-related discoloration.
  
  
• Superficial Tooth Stains: Chocolate, red wine and some acidic foods can also cause stains on teeth. Whitening removes these stains.
  
  

Teeth Whitening Methods
At Safir Dental Polyclinic, we offer our patients different teeth whitening options according to their needs and conditions. Here are the most common methods we apply:

1. Clinical Teeth Whitening (Office Whitening)
   It is a whitening method applied in the clinic. A special whitening gel is applied to the teeth by the dentist and activated by laser or light. This method offers fast and effective results, and a significant whitening of the teeth is usually achieved within one session.

2. Home Whitening (Home Whitening)
   For home application, customized whitening trays are prepared by the dentist. These trays are filled with whitening gel and patients complete the treatment at home by wearing the trays for a few days. Home whitening may take a little longer because lower concentration gels are used, but it gives effective results.

3. Combined Teeth Whitening
   It is a combination of clinical and home whitening methods. In the first stage, rapid results are achieved with clinical whitening, followed by home whitening to consolidate this whiteness. The combined method is especially suitable for those who want to achieve longer lasting and permanent results.
