Professional Teeth Whitening at Persona Smile — Up to 8 Shades Brighter in One Hour
Professional teeth whitening is the fastest, most effective way to brighten a dull or discoloured smile. At Persona Smile in Antalya, we use clinical-strength whitening systems with hydrogen peroxide concentrations far stronger than any over-the-counter product — delivering results of up to 8 shades lighter in a single 60-minute session.
Whether you want whitening as a standalone treatment or as the first step before porcelain veneers or dental crowns (so restorations can be shade-matched to your brighter teeth), our cosmetic dentists ensure safe, even, and long-lasting results. Professional whitening at Persona Smile costs just £170 — compared to £400–£700 at UK clinics.

Why Choose Professional Whitening Over DIY Products?
| Factor | Professional Whitening (Persona Smile) | Over-the-Counter Products |
|---|---|---|
| Active Ingredient Strength | 25–40% hydrogen peroxide (clinical grade) | 3–6% hydrogen peroxide |
| Results | Up to 8 shades lighter in 1 hour | 1–2 shades over 2–4 weeks |
| Evenness | Dentist-controlled, even coverage | Inconsistent — trays don’t fit precisely |
| Gum Protection | Gums isolated with protective barrier | No protection — risk of chemical burns |
| Duration of Results | 12–24 months (with maintenance kit) | 2–3 months |
| Safety | Supervised by qualified dentist | Unsupervised — risk of enamel damage |
| Price | £170 (one-off) | £30–£100 per kit (repeated purchases) |
The British Dental Association advises that teeth whitening should only be carried out by a registered dental professional. Over-the-counter products cannot legally contain the concentrations needed for dramatic results, and unregulated products sold online may contain harmful acids that permanently damage tooth enamel.
The Whitening Procedure at Persona Smile — Step by Step
| Step | What Happens | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Dental Cleaning | Professional scale and polish to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This ensures the whitening gel contacts clean enamel for maximum effectiveness. Cleaning: £50 | 30 mins |
| 2. Shade Assessment | Your current tooth shade is recorded using a standardised shade guide. We discuss your target shade and set realistic expectations. Photos are taken for before/after comparison. | 5 mins |
| 3. Gum Protection | A liquid rubber dam is applied to your gums to create a protective barrier, preventing any contact between the whitening gel and soft tissue. | 5 mins |
| 4. Gel Application | Clinical-strength hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is carefully applied to each tooth surface. The gel is activated using a professional LED light to accelerate the oxidation process. | 15 mins per cycle |
| 5. Multiple Cycles | The gel-and-light cycle is repeated 3–4 times (each lasting 15 minutes) for maximum penetration into the enamel. Between cycles, the gel is refreshed. | 45–60 mins total |
| 6. Final Result & Aftercare | Your new shade is recorded and compared. You receive a custom take-home whitening tray and gel for maintenance touch-ups, plus aftercare instructions to maximise longevity. | 5 mins |
Pro tip: If you are planning veneers or crowns as part of a smile makeover, always whiten first. Restorations cannot be whitened after bonding, so we shade-match them to your newly whitened teeth for a consistent, bright result.

What Causes Tooth Discolouration?
Understanding why teeth discolour helps you maintain your whitening results. There are two types of tooth staining:
Extrinsic Staining (Surface Stains)
Caused by external substances that accumulate on the enamel surface. Common culprits include coffee, tea, red wine, berries, turmeric, tobacco, and certain medications. Professional whitening is highly effective at removing extrinsic stains, and results can be dramatic — especially for heavy coffee or tea drinkers.
Intrinsic Staining (Deep Stains)
Discolouration within the tooth structure itself, caused by genetics, childhood antibiotic use (particularly tetracycline), excessive fluoride exposure (fluorosis), ageing, or trauma. Intrinsic stains are harder to treat with whitening alone and may require porcelain veneers or composite bonding for a complete colour correction. Our dentists will assess your staining type during consultation and recommend the most effective approach.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
- Healthy teeth and gums: No untreated cavities, active gum disease, or exposed root surfaces. Any issues are treated first.
- Natural teeth: Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Existing crowns, veneers, or fillings will not change colour — but they can be replaced to match your new shade afterwards.
- Realistic expectations: Results vary based on the type and severity of staining. Yellow tones respond best; grey or brown tones may require additional treatments.
- Age 18+: We do not perform whitening on patients under 18, as tooth enamel may not be fully developed.
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding: As a precaution, whitening is postponed for pregnant and nursing mothers.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
Professional whitening results typically last 12–24 months, depending on your diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle. Factors that affect longevity include:
- Diet: Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and highly pigmented foods will accelerate re-staining.
- Smoking: Tobacco is the single biggest cause of rapid re-staining. Whitening results in smokers may fade within 3–6 months.
- Oral hygiene: Brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental cleanings help maintain brightness.
- Maintenance kit: Using the custom take-home trays we provide for a 30-minute touch-up session every 3–6 months significantly extends your results.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most thoroughly researched cosmetic dental procedures. When performed by a qualified dentist using approved products, it is completely safe for your enamel and overall dental health. The NHS confirms that dentist-supervised whitening is safe and effective.
Common side effects include mild tooth sensitivity and slight gum irritation, both of which are temporary and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. We use desensitising agents before and after treatment to minimise discomfort, and our gum protection protocol ensures the whitening gel never contacts soft tissue.
Teeth Whitening in Antalya — Frequently Asked Questions
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some may notice mild sensitivity to cold for 24–48 hours afterwards, which resolves on its own. We apply a desensitising treatment after whitening and can prescribe sensitivity toothpaste if needed.
How white will my teeth get?
Results vary based on your starting shade and staining type, but most patients achieve 4–8 shades of improvement in a single session. Yellow and light brown stains respond best. Your dentist will show you a shade guide before treatment so you can set realistic expectations.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?
Whitening gel only works on natural tooth enamel — it will not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns, veneers, or bonding. If you have restorations on visible teeth, we recommend whitening first, then replacing any mismatched restorations to match your new shade. This is a common part of smile makeover planning.
How much does teeth whitening cost at Persona Smile?
Professional in-clinic whitening at Persona Smile costs £170, which includes the full treatment plus a custom take-home maintenance kit. In the UK, the same treatment costs £400–£700. A professional cleaning (£50) is recommended before whitening for best results. See our full price list →
Is it worth travelling to Antalya just for whitening?
Many patients combine whitening with other treatments during their visit — such as veneers, crowns, or a dental check-up and cleaning. Even as a standalone treatment, the savings of £230–£530 compared to UK prices can partially offset travel costs, especially when combined with a Mediterranean holiday in Antalya.
Can I eat and drink normally after whitening?
For the first 48 hours after treatment, we recommend avoiding highly pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, curry, berries, tomato sauce) as your enamel pores are temporarily more open and susceptible to staining. After 48 hours, you can return to your normal diet.
