I am Kim Han-gyeol, the chief director of Smile View Dental Clinic, who presents you with “the most beautiful smile that suits you best.”

Many prospective brides and grooms are preparing for weddings in the spring, when flowers bloom.

In particular, as they prepare for wedding photos ahead of the main ceremony in April and May, when there are the most weddings, many people become concerned about yellow teeth that show when they smile. Or, after looking at their wedding photos, some brides-to-be and grooms-to-be feel discouraged by noticeable yellow teeth.

So today, I would like to explain the pros and cons of Gangnam teeth whitening and the treatment process for those who are concerned about yellow teeth before a wedding.

What is teeth whitening?

A representative cosmetic treatment that creates white teeth

Teeth whitening is a procedure that removes pigments from the tooth surface or improves the tooth’s original color through chemical action, making discolored teeth brighter and whiter.

Teeth whitening is helpful not only for cosmetic purposes but also for boosting personal confidence, so many people undergo it as a way to refresh their mood.

In particular, during the spring wedding season like now, many people visit the clinic for whitening treatment when they need to pay extra attention to their appearance ahead of schedules such as wedding photos or the main ceremony.

Why do teeth turn yellow?

You should watch out for tooth staining.

So, why does tooth discoloration occur?

In fact, there are many different causes of tooth discoloration.

First, food intake is one of the main causes. Foods with strong pigments such as coffee, wine, green tea, and curry can cause tooth staining, and in the case of smoking, nicotine and tar are also major factors that make teeth look yellow.

In addition to these lifestyle habits, tooth discoloration can also occur due to aging. As people get older, the enamel becomes thinner and the dentin underneath becomes more visible, which can make teeth appear more yellow.

Genetic factors or a history of taking antibiotics (tetracycline) can also affect changes in tooth color.

Teeth whitening methods explained by a dentist with 14 years of experience

There are three representative teeth whitening methods. Broadly, they can be divided into at-home whitening, at-home whitening devices, and professional whitening. I will explain each one.

1. At-home whitening

At-home whitening is a method that can be easily done at home without visiting a dental clinic. It uses whitening toothpaste, whitening patches, whitening serums, and similar products to gradually brighten the teeth.

However, the effects are limited and require consistent care, and it is recommended that you use verified products.

2. At-home whitening device

An at-home whitening device is a whitening kit that can be prescribed and used at a dental clinic.

Using whitening gel and a tray (tooth mold), whitening agent is applied to the teeth for a certain period of time. It is less effective than professional whitening, but you can expect better results than with at-home whitening.

3. Professional whitening

Professional whitening is a method of whitening teeth at a dental clinic using specialized equipment and whitening agents.

Although the number of treatment sessions and the results may vary slightly depending on the individual, receiving about 1 to 3 treatments can help maintain brighter teeth.

Typical procedures include laser whitening and LED whitening. Smile View Dental Clinic, which provides Gangnam teeth whitening, uses the proven Osstem Beautis machine and Luminous Multi Boost whitening agent to improve the effectiveness of whitening treatment.

Because of this, professional whitening is one of the whitening treatments preferred by many people, as it is more likely to produce a satisfying result even with just one session compared to at-home whitening.

Precautions after teeth whitening treatment

Before a wedding photo shoot or the main ceremony, if you have had teeth whitening, remember this only!

It is also important to be familiar with the precautions after teeth whitening. They are as follows.

Precautions

(1) Avoid strongly pigmented foods (coffee, wine, kimchi, curry, etc.) for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.

(2) Your teeth may temporarily feel sensitive after the procedure, but this is a normal reaction.

(3) Smoking reduces the whitening effect, so it is best to quit smoking.

(4) Regular visits to the dental clinic are necessary for maintaining whitening.
