How Does Professional Laser Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional teeth whitening (bleaching) uses clinically approved oxygenation gels to break down organic and inorganic pigment molecules trapped within the microscopic pores of tooth enamel and dentin.
At LumaDent Polyclinic in Cigli, Izmir, we begin by evaluating your enamel health and protecting your gums with a light-cured gingival barrier. The whitening gel is then activated under specialized light technology for rapid, enamel-safe brightening.
In-Office vs. Take-Home Teeth Whitening
| In-Office Laser Whitening | Performed by a dentist in ~45 minutes for immediate visible brightening |
|---|---|
| Take-Home Custom Trays | Custom-fitted transparent trays worn at home as directed by your dentist |
| Combined Protocol | In-office session paired with take-home maintenance for extended longevity |
| Post-Care (First 48 Hours) | Follow a "white diet" avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces, and tobacco |
