Gangnam Leon Dental New Teeth Whitening Vlog📽️ | Teeth Whitening Effects, Duration, Side Effects: The Complete Guide!

Hello, this is Gangnam Leon Dental😊

These days, when people think of teeth whitening,

there are many at-home teeth whitening kits,

so many people do it themselves at home.

However, professional teeth whitening

and DIY teeth whitening are definitely different.

Today, we’ll look at the differences between professional whitening and DIY whitening,

and the Newtis whitening process

at Gangnam Leon Dental.

The main cause of tooth staining

Tooth discoloration can make you feel less confident when smiling or speaking.

In particular, if you have an important event coming up,

such as a wedding, job interview, or blind date,

yellowed teeth can be hard to ignore.

The gradual yellowing of teeth

is caused not only by highly staining foods like coffee and wine,

but also by various other factors.

✅ Pigment buildup from coffee, wine, carbonated drinks, and similar beverages

✅ Nicotine staining from smoking

✅ Internal discoloration caused by antibiotic use

✅ Natural changes due to aging

DIY teeth whitening vs. professional teeth whitening

As at-home teeth whitening kits have become widely available,

many people wonder about

the effectiveness and safety of DIY whitening

compared with professional whitening.

Would at-home whitening be better?

Teeth whitening results vary depending on the condition of each person’s teeth,

the cause of discoloration, and lifestyle habits,

but in general they are as follows.

DIY Teeth Whitening	Category	Professional Teeth Whitening

Low-concentration hydrogen peroxide or sodium bicarbonate, etc.	Materials used	High-concentration hydrogen peroxide with light exposure
About 30 minutes to 1 hour per session	Treatment time	About 15 minutes per session

1️⃣ Diagnosis and scaling

Before teeth whitening, we check the exact tooth shade,

examine the oral condition,

and perform scaling to help prevent infection.

2️⃣ Apply gum protector

If the whitening agent comes into contact with the gums,

the gums may be damaged,

so we apply a protective agent to prevent injury to the gums.

3️⃣ Apply the whitening agent

The whitening agent is applied to the surface of the teeth.

Usually, the medication is applied to 12 teeth in total,

from canine to canine on both the upper and lower arches.

4️⃣ Special light exposure

After the whitening agent is applied,

a special light is directed at the teeth using a whitening device

so the whitening agent can absorb into the teeth properly.

Usually, one session takes about 15 minutes.

If it is planned for three or more sessions,

two sessions may be completed on the same day as a one-day treatment,

and the remaining visits are scheduled for later.

Side effects of teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a safe procedure,

but depending on the individual, the following side effects

may occur.

✅ Tooth sensitivity

You may temporarily become sensitive to cold water

or air.

✅ Gum irritation

If the agent touches the gums,

there may be temporary redness or soreness.

(**In the case of professional teeth whitening,

a protective agent is applied first

to protect the gums.)

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional whitening generally lasts 1–2 years or more on average.

However, because the foods we eat every day

may be highly pigmented, and smoking and other habits

can discolor teeth again,

teeth can easily become stained again even after whitening.

To help prevent this,

after eating staining foods or smoking,

it is best not to forget to brush your teeth.

Q. How many whitening sessions are needed to see results❓

We usually recommend three sessions for teeth whitening.

However, since the degree of whitening varies by person,

the number of sessions may increase or decrease.

Q. Can I drink coffee after teeth whitening❓

For 2–3 days after whitening, the tooth color continues to gradually brighten,

and drinking coffee during this period may reduce the effect.

Therefore, it is best to wait about 2–3 days before drinking it.

Q. When can I eat after teeth whitening❓

For the first 2 hours after teeth whitening,

it is best to avoid eating if possible.

Since the 24–48 hours after treatment are an important period

during which the whitening agent’s effect is maximized,

avoiding smoking and foods that contain a lot of pigment

will help maintain the results.

✅ Rinse with water after consuming staining foods

✅ Reduce smoking or quit smoking

✅ Prevent staining with regular scaling

✅ Drink beverages using a straw

If you want quick results in a busy daily life

and have room in your budget, professional dental whitening may be a good option.

If you can manage care consistently

and want to reduce the cost burden,

diy teeth whitening may be better.

Choose the method that suits you and proceed with whitening,

then maintain the results through proper care afterward.
