Teeth Whitening Treatment? Blanch? If You’re Unsure Which Is Better

If you live in modern times, anyone would prefer teeth that are white and evenly aligned.

For this reason, the white, well-aligned teeth of celebrities in the media often become an object of admiration for many people.

In such cases, the first thing that comes to mind is

teeth whitening treatment.

However, there are clearly parts that are difficult to address

with whitening treatment alone.

In cases like these, Blanch can be an effective

solution.

Today, I’ll honestly and without exaggeration explain the limitations of teeth whitening treatment and the features, pros, and cons of Blanch, which can help solve them.

Teeth whitening can certainly be a good

option.

Teeth whitening treatment? Blanch?

If you’re unsure which is better

Teeth whitening treatment is a procedure that lets a whitening agent penetrate the outermost layer of the teeth, the part called the enamel.

The enamel contains tiny gaps that are not easily visible to the naked eye.

Residue and pigments from everyday food and drinks settle into these gaps, making the teeth look yellow.

Because they are too small to be removed with a toothbrush or dental floss, discoloration cannot be prevented even if you take good care of your teeth.

Teeth whitening treatment is a procedure that pushes a whitening agent into these spaces to oxidize the pigments,

and it may be easier to think of it as similar to the process of making a yellowed white shirt white again with bleach.

If your teeth are healthy and you are concerned about staining that makes them look yellow, whitening treatment can be a good option.

However, for these people,

we do not recommend it.

If you’re unsure which is better

There are cases where teeth whitening treatment cannot be the solution, and there are three main ones.

Uneven discoloration

If each natural tooth has a different degree of wear and staining, resulting in different levels of discoloration from tooth to tooth, whitening is not recommended.

In such cases, even if teeth whitening treatment is repeated...

The result may look acceptable at first glance, but if you look closely, the discoloration may only be lightened, while the uneven color is likely to remain the same.

Severe, long-standing discoloration

It is the same if the teeth have become discolored beyond yellow, turning black like decay, or if they have been discolored for a long time.

Especially if the enamel itself has become discolored due to frequent smoking, the whitening agent cannot penetrate...

So it may be difficult for ordinary teeth whitening treatment to achieve the expected result.

Damaged teeth

If the natural teeth are damaged rather than healthy, intact teeth,

we do not recommend teeth whitening treatment.

If the enamel is worn down

and thin

If the natural tooth is cracked

If you have received cavity treatment and

root canal treatment

If there is inflammation in the gums

If even one of the four applies, the strength of the natural tooth can be greatly weakened, and sensitivity may become severe.

Having white and clean teeth is nice,

but please keep in mind that once a natural tooth is damaged, it cannot be restored.

An upgraded alternative to teeth whitening,

What is Blanch?

Teeth whitening Blanch,

If you’re unsure which is better

Unlike ordinary laminate veneers, Blanch is a procedure performed with no tooth reduction or with only 0.1 to 0.2 mm of reduction.

The average reduction amount for ordinary laminate veneers is about 1 mm, and since the enamel is 1 mm thick, it is effectively the same as shaving off almost all of the enamel.

As the enamel that protects the nerves and roots is damaged, the pain the patient must endure becomes greater.

Blanch is a laminate veneer procedure that can be done without removing the surface,

and it has the advantage of solving both the problems of conventional laminate veneers and the limitations of teeth whitening treatment.

Because it bonds a ceramic sheet in the desired color, it does not matter if the discoloration or staining is severe,

and

since it is done without tooth reduction, the bonded ceramic sheet can instead serve as a protective layer for damaged teeth.

Because it can be used semi-permanently with just one procedure, it can also be a good solution for people who find periodic teeth whitening treatment burdensome.

A laminate veneer that overcomes the limitations of teeth whitening?

Not all no-prep laminates are the same.

There are also skeptical views about no-prep laminate veneers.

"It’s no-prep in name only,

but in reality,

it’s the same as ordinary laminate veneers."

If you’re unsure which is better

That is a fair point.

If the ceramic that was previously used is

processed too thinly, durability drops significantly...

So in the end, to compensate for that, it has to be made thicker,

and the thicker the ceramic becomes, the more tooth reduction is needed.

That is why Blanch

focused on both the material and the processing.

According to prosthodontic research results,

when the ceramic sheet is 0.3 mm or thinner,

it is reported that sufficient aesthetics and

durability can be secured without reducing the natural tooth.

However, in the market, it was difficult to find ceramic with good durability even when processed to 0.3 mm or less.

The material that Blanch found, and after continued searching chose, is

high-quality Swiss Feldspar ceramic,

which can be processed into a natural design as thin as about 0.1 mm, beyond 0.3 mm or less.

It is thin yet can maintain durability similar to natural teeth, making semi-permanent use possible.

Durability is not merely guaranteed in words.

If you’re unsure which is better

There is one reason why people want to make discolored teeth white and clean.

It is because they know the beauty of smiling brightly,

the value of a smile.

However, an uneven gum line, downturned corners of the mouth, and thin lips that show the gums clearly cannot be solved with laminate veneers alone.

Accordingly, Blanch considers the entire face

and has started a 'Smile Makeover' solution.

Depending on the patient’s needs, we provide a one-stop service including laminate veneers, orthodontics, teeth whitening treatment, Botox, fillers, and gum contouring,

so that you can truly feel the positive impact a smile has on life.

As I wrap up.

Teeth whitening Blanch,

If you’re unsure which is better

So far, I have explained everything about the limitations of teeth whitening treatment and Blanch, which can serve as a solution.

Blanch is not just a simple laminate veneer.

It is a work of art developed over 11 years through careful consideration by medical staff from Seoul National University and researchers from Blanch Lab.

Patients who recognize the value of Blanch continue to increase.

From many celebrities and public figures

to people who come from far away places such as the United Kingdom and the United States,

there are those who visit us.

Blanch will continue to help more people

have proper, sustainable beauty.

This has been Kim Tae-hyung, the chief director of Blanch Dental Clinic.
