Teeth Whitening


Teeth whitening is a treatment to whiten and brighten your teeth by using a teeth whitening gel that removes stains from dental enamel and dentin.
We are proudly providing 3 ways of teeth whitening to meet your various needs.




In-Office Teeth Whitening
Office Teeth Whitening is performed in the dentist's office either by dentists or dental hygienists. This method is safe and solves your problems within a short period of time.

Home Teeth Whitening
Home Teeth Whitening is easily done at home. All you have to do is to fill your plastic mouthpieces with a teeth whitening gel and to wear the mouthpieces only a few hours a day either in daytime or in night-time.

Dual Teeth Whitening
Dual Teeth Whitening is a combination of In-Office Teeth Whitening and Home Teeth Whitening, and it is the most effective way to whiten your teeth.


Teeth Whitening Procedure


1. Counseling
We provide free dental counseling on your first visit, and give you detailed information about our teeth whitening treatment. This counseling is free regardless of whether you eventually receive teeth whitening treatment at our clinic or not.

2. Oral examination
Teeth whitening treatment uses special bleaching gel and dental technique, so the treatment may not be suitable for you if you have any oral problems. We examine your overall oral health condition on your first visit to ensure your oral condition is satisfactory for teeth whitening treatment.
If any oral diseases or predictable diseases are found, we may conduct further examinations including X-ray check.

※Examination fees will be charged if further oral exams such as X-ray check are carried out. Since these exams are covered by health insurance, please bring your health insurance card on your first visit.

※In case you have more than certain amount of tartar or have moderate gum inflammation, we may recommend you to have professional teeth cleaning a few times prior to teeth whitening.
Although additional fees will be charged for the teeth cleaning, we have reasonably priced package plans of teeth cleaning and teeth whitening.

※If any oral diseases are found as a result of examinations, we may temporarily stop teeth whitening treatment and recommend you to cure the diseases first. In this case, we also provide free counseling for your treatment plan which aims to eventually enable you to receive teeth whitening treatment.

3. Shade check
Before starting teeth whitening treatment, we firstly check and record the color of your natural teeth with an intra-oral camera. Then we use color samples to see how white you want your teeth to be. Finally, we start your teeth whitening treatment in accordance with the color plan.

Other Cautions

※Teeth whitening is effective to almost all natural teeth, but the effects may differ among individuals.

※Teeth whitening effects and lasting period may differ depending on your teeth quality and your daily habit.

※We don't provide teeth whitening to pregnant women, maternity women, or children under 13 years old.

※We don't provide teeth whitening within 3 months after LASIK or cataract eye surgery or after facial peeling treatment.

※The teeth discolored with antibiotic drugs are difficult to be whitened.

※Teeth crowns, fillings and false teeth can't be whitened.

※Normally, teeth whitening effects fade after 3 to 6 months. This period may differ depending on your daily habit of consuming staining substances such as coffee, tea, wine and cigarettes.


In-Office Teeth Whitening

We use the world's most advanced teeth whitening equipment and agent to give you the best results. This treatment is performed either by dentists or dental hygienists at our clinic.
Firstly, we apply a protective agent to your lips and gums to protect them from the whitening treatment. After that, we apply a teeth whitening gel to your teeth, and then deliver lasers to the teeth in order to maximize the whitening gel's effect. Finally, we apply fluoride to your teeth to prevent sensory sensitivity.
Our teeth whitening procedure is safe, effective, and fast. So it is suitable for those who want to see the results quickly.
※It makes teeth whitening more effective if you receive professional teeth cleaning in advance.


Home Teeth Whitening

Whiten and brighten your teeth at your own pace. This teeth whitening method is easily carried out at home.
On your first visit, we make your own plastic mouthpieces that perfectly fit your teeth alignment. Then, you bring the mouthpieces and a whitening gel back home. Following our instructions, all you have to do is to fill your plastic mouthpieces with a teeth whitening gel and to wear the mouthpieces only a few hours a day before you go to bed or while you are sleeping.
This method doesn't give you immediate results as In-Office Teeth Whitening does, but it gradually achieves your desired results.
The average time needed for this treatment is 3 to 4 weeks, but it varies among individuals. Please consult us about the method and the appropriate treatment period for you


Dual Teeth Whitening

Combine advantages of In-Office Teeth Whitening and Home Teeth Whitening to get the best results. You can expect better results by combining In-Office Teeth Whitening and Home Teeth Whitening.
In this method, we start with In-Office Teeth Whitening. At the same time, we make mouthpieces that perfectly fit your teeth alignment for your Home Teeth Whitening.
After In-Office Treatment is finished, you bring your mouthpieces and a whitening gel back home, and then go on to Home Teeth Whitening procedures after a defined period.
