Should I get teeth whitening or veneers?

Teeth whitening is purely a colour-lightening procedure and does not change tooth structure. Veneers address colour, shape and alignment issues all at once. At our Fethiye clinic, both treatments are offered well below European prices, and our free consultation helps determine the best option for your needs.

Professional teeth whitening is a safe procedure that does not damage tooth structure. Temporary sensitivity may occur but typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Our clinic uses FDA-approved products for maximum safety.

Yes, many patients whiten first and then get veneers on the teeth they are still unhappy with. This strategy can reduce overall costs as fewer veneers may be needed. Both treatments can be planned during the same visit at our clinic.

Professional in-clinic whitening takes 1-2 hours in a single session. You can come from your hotel and head to the beach afterwards on the same day. Veneers require a 5-7 day process.

Professional whitening results last 6 months to 2 years depending on your lifestyle. Tea, coffee and smoking can shorten the duration. Veneers, by contrast, resist staining for 10-15 years.
