Magok Station Dental Clinic_ “Make Your Teeth White at Home!” [3. Features and Process of Vital Tooth Home Whitening Treatment]

Hello.

Honest treatment! Clear explanations!

This is Seoul Dia Dental Clinic at Magok Station.

Last time, we summarized professional whitening for vital teeth, that is, a method that uses high-concentration whitening agents and light of a specific wavelength in the clinic for teeth with living nerves (vital teeth) to create a brighter tone in a short period of time.

If you haven’t seen it yet, please check the link below first.

Now, today is the next step!

This is for those who asked,

“Going to the dental clinic every time feels like a burden...

Can’t I do it myself at home?”

It’s about home bleaching for vital teeth.

What is vital tooth home whitening treatment?

Simply put!

You place whitening gel into a clear tray custom-made to fit your teeth at the clinic, and wear it yourself at home.

It is applied to teeth with living nerves (vital teeth),

and because the medication concentration is lower than professional whitening, it is less burdensome, and if done consistently, the effect can increase significantly.

Best of all, it is convenient at home!

Since you can do it on your own schedule without visiting the clinic, it’s a great fit for busy office workers and students.

Another advantage is

that it is not very irritating, so discomfort such as tooth sensitivity is reduced!

It is a good option for whitening beginners to start with 부담 없이.

But!! There are also things to keep in mind.

You have to keep doing it consistently for the effect to appear (if you stop halfway, it may not show at all)

and if the tray does not fit your teeth perfectly, the brightening may become uneven.

A feeling of getting “dramatically” brighter in a short time may be weaker than with professional whitening.

So what is the best method?

Professional whitening → home whitening for maintenance

This combination is ideal!

First, the clinic properly sets the tone, and then home whitening is used to keep that brightness for a long, long time.

In other words, home whitening is best understood as “a role in making the brightness last longer, rather than creating the initial tone-up.”

How is vital tooth home whitening done?

First, the clinic accurately diagnoses the condition of the teeth, and once you receive the custom-made clear tray, just remember the following steps at home.

1. Check tooth condition & make the tray

First, the clinic uses photos and color measurement to accurately record the current brightness of your teeth. Right on top of that! A clear tray (whitening device) that fits your tooth shape perfectly is made. It must fit your mouth precisely so the whitening ingredients can be delivered evenly!

2. Clean the surface with scaling

Before using the tray, the surface of the teeth is cleaned thoroughly. This is a preparation step that allows the whitening ingredients to be absorbed properly. At home, start after brushing your teeth.

3. Apply the whitening agent and wear the tray

Apply the prescribed amount of whitening gel evenly inside the tray, then place it onto your teeth. Usually, it is worn for 1 to 2 hours (adjusted depending on the product). You can do it comfortably whenever it fits your schedule.

4. Clean and check after wearing

After removing the tray, clean both your mouth and the device thoroughly. Any remaining agent should be removed well to reduce gum irritation.

5. Consistency creates results!

Home whitening is all about continuous management.

Do it consistently for an average of 2 to 4 weeks and check the color change periodically. It is especially effective for maintenance and additional brightening after professional whitening.

Vital tooth home whitening treatment! To summarize it simply in an easy-to-understand way!

1. Home whitening is a whitening method managed directly at home

2. It is slower than professional whitening, but stable

3. Excellent for maintenance and support!

4. The combination of professional whitening + home whitening lasts the most naturally and for the longest time!
