Does teeth whitening damage the teeth?

When the teeth are assessed first and the appropriate concentration and method are used, the risk of damage is reduced. However, if you have cracked teeth, cavities, or gum disease, these may need to be treated first.

Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?

Temporary sensitivity can occur but usually subsides within a few days. If sensitivity is significant, we adjust the concentration and treatment time.

Will one session be enough to whiten my teeth?

It depends on the degree of staining and your target shade. Stable results are usually achieved over several sessions.

How long do the results last?

It depends on your lifestyle, but results typically last 1 to 3 years, and regular care can extend them further.

Can I eat right after whitening?

Immediately after whitening, it is best to avoid strongly pigmented foods and drinks such as coffee, curry, and wine. Regular meals are fine.

Teeth Whitening

Aesthetic treatment that brightens dull, discolored teeth and restores a naturally bright smile

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic treatment that brightens teeth that have become dark or dull from coffee, tea, smoking, food pigments, or aging.

Unlike scaling, which only cleans the tooth surface, whitening uses a bleaching agent to break down stains that have penetrated inside the tooth, giving a brighter, cleaner tone than before.

Seoul Top Dental Hospital assesses your teeth and the degree of staining, then plans whitening with the method that suits you best: professional in-office whitening or at-home whitening.
