Before brightening your teeth,
we first identify the cause and condition of discoloration.
Teeth whitening is a treatment that brightens the color of natural teeth using a whitening agent. The expected change varies depending on the cause of discoloration and the condition of the teeth and gums.
Seoul Yido Dental Clinic examines the condition of the enamel, cavities, cracks, and existing restorations to determine the feasibility of whitening and the target shade.
During treatment, the whitening intensity and application time are adjusted according to the teeth's reaction. After treatment, color changes are compared, and necessary home care methods are guided.
Before Teeth Whitening,
We First Check Four Things:
Cause and Pattern of Discoloration
We examine extrinsic staining and intrinsic tooth discoloration
We assess the range of changes you can expect from teeth whitening.
Cavities · Cracks and Gums
We check for conditions that can affect sensitivity or irritation,
such as cavities, cracks, gum recession, and inflammation.
Existing Restorations
Crowns, veneers, and composite resins do not lighten with whitening,
so we check for potential color differences after treatment.
Target Shade
We record the pre-whitening shade under the same conditions
and plan the target and number of treatments suitable for the tooth condition.
Seoul Ido records brightness and tooth reactions
together.
We compare color changes before and after whitening under the same conditions, and adjust the strength and application time based on sensitivity and irritation reactions during treatment.
After treatment, we provide guidance on maintenance methods based on staining habits and tooth condition.
Pre-whitening Color Recording
Recording with the same criteria ensures accurate observation of changes.
We record the current tooth color, transparency,
and staining pattern under the same lighting and photographic conditions. We also confirm the presence of prosthetics and the cause of discoloration
to guide the range of possible changes with whitening and the treatment direction.
Gum Protection · Professional Whitening
We adjust the strength and time according to the tooth condition.
After applying a gum protectant, we proceed with professional whitening
according to the tooth condition and planned strength. We do not apply the same strength to all teeth,
but adjust the application area and time while monitoring the reaction during treatment.
Sensitivity · Color Change Check
We observe not only brightness but also the tooth's reaction.
We check for sensitivity or irritation during treatment,
and adjust the whitening strength and application time if necessary.
After whitening, we compare color changes using the same criteria to determine whether further treatment is needed.
Simple Home Care
Easily continue maintenance after dental whitening.
After whitening, we check the tooth condition and staining habits
and advise on the use of 'White Now' sticker-type home whitening products.
If necessary, we explain the correct application method, usage frequency, and precautions
to help you continue post-whitening care.
Teeth Whitening Q&A
-
It depends on the original color of your teeth, the cause of discoloration, and the condition of your enamel. After diagnosis, we will explain the expected changes and recommend the most suitable method.
-
It is important to use the appropriate medication and application time for the condition of your teeth and gums. We monitor your response during treatment and adjust the intensity and duration accordingly.
-
We adjust the medication, application time, and treatment intervals based on the degree of sensitivity. If sensitivity is severe or persistent, we will stop the treatment and identify the cause.
-
No. The color of existing prosthetics and resins will not lighten. If there is a color difference after whitening, we will discuss the need for replacement separately.
-
It depends on staining habits such as coffee, tea, and smoking, as well as oral hygiene. We regularly check your condition to determine if additional whitening is needed.
