Risks of Teeth Whitening in Turkey ⚠️

- Damaged Dental Work: whitening can cause damage to dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings, leaving them discolored or mismatched with the surrounding teeth.
- Overuse: Overuse of whitening products or procedures can cause long-term damage to the tooth enamel, making the teeth more susceptible to decay and sensitivity.

- Unqualified Providers: when performed by unqualified providers or with substandard materials, results can be poor or even harm teeth and gums.
Can you do teeth whitening with another medical procedure?
Teeth whitening can be done in combination with other dental procedures or even cosmetic surgery. However, it’s important to discuss your goals and any potential interactions with your dental professional and cosmetic surgeon.
