What are the options for teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening falls into two broad types: professional in-office whitening done at the clinic, and home whitening using a custom tray.
Before whitening, we first check for cavities or sensitivity, then protect the gums before applying the whitening agent to the tooth surface.

Anyone with an important interview or meeting coming up

How does teeth whitening work in Seomyeon?
Teeth whitening in Seomyeon begins by checking the condition of your teeth and gums, then choosing a method that suits them. Professional whitening applies the whitening agent in the clinic, while home whitening uses a custom tray at home. Which method suits you is advised after examination.
What should I check before teeth whitening?
If you have cavities or gum inflammation, they may need treatment first. Existing crowns and resin fillings do not change color with whitening agents, so we check at the consultation whether a color difference could appear after whitening.
How do I care for my teeth after whitening?
Some temporary sensitivity may occur after whitening. Habits that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea and smoking, can make the color return, so we guide you on how to care for your teeth. Effects and how long they last vary by individual.
How is teeth whitening different from veneers?
Teeth whitening lightens the natural color of the teeth, while veneers attach a thin restoration to the front of the tooth to change its shape and color. Which one suits you depends on your goal, so we decide together at the consultation.
Teeth whitening in Seomyeon: what to check before your consultation
If you tell us the brightness you want and your schedule before your visit, we will guide you on what treatment is possible. Treatment methods, costs and time vary by individual, and we explain side effects and aftercare in full during the consultation. Contact us by phone or our booking page with any questions.
How often can I have teeth whitening?
The number and interval of whitening sessions depend on the condition of your teeth and the type of whitening agent. Repeating it too often can worsen sensitivity, so at a teeth whitening consultation in Seomyeon we check your teeth and advise a suitable interval. It varies by individual, so a fixed number of sessions cannot be stated.
Are there cases where whitening is difficult?
If you are pregnant, or have cracked teeth, severe sensitivity, untreated cavities or gum disease, whitening may be postponed or another approach recommended. We first check your oral condition through an examination and judge whether it can be done safely.
Scheduling guidance for busy professionals and brides-to-be
If you have an important event coming up, it is best to book a consultation with time to spare. We guide you on the methods and number of visits that fit your schedule, and results vary by individual. It helps if you tell us your preferred date before your visit.
How much the shade changes varies from person to person, depending on the original tooth color and the cause and degree of staining, and no specific result is guaranteed. The approach can differ depending on cavities, sensitivity, or existing restorations, so an examination and consultation are needed beforehand.
