In the first days after veneer preparation choose soft, lukewarm food and avoid very hard, sticky or very hot dishes; after whitening follow a "white diet" for 48 hours. Istanbul's restaurants make this easy, from meze and fish by the Bosphorus to fine dining recognised in the Michelin Guide.
After preparation and temporaries
Choose soft food such as soups, risotto, fish, eggs and mezes like hummus. Avoid biting directly into hard bread, nuts or apples with the front teeth, and avoid very sticky desserts that can loosen temporaries.
After whitening: the white diet
For 48 hours avoid coffee, tea, red wine, cola, pomegranate, beetroot and tomato-based sauces. Fish, chicken, rice, yoghurt and white cheese are ideal.
Near the studio
Etiler's Nispetiye Avenue and the Ulus and Bebek area offer steakhouses, seafood and modern Turkish kitchens, including Sunset Grill & Bar with its Bosphorus view.
Fine dining
Istanbul is listed in the Michelin Guide. TURK Fatih Tutak in Bomonti and Nicole in Beyoğlu are among the city's most celebrated tables; reserve well ahead.
Meze and the Bosphorus
A long lunch of meze and grilled fish by the water is one of the gentlest ways to enjoy the city while your smile settles.
