Information on treatment and surgery
Teeth WhiteningTeeth whitening restores the colour of the teeth which may have been lost due to generic reason, disease, coffee, and excessive smoking. Discoloured teeth require professional whitening treatments to ensure proper whitening effect unlike the minimal effects of whitening toothpaste, toothbrushing or scaling alone. There are different types of whitening treatments; professional whitening treatment and self-whitening, which uses the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide as a whitening agent at different concentrations. The whitening agent is used alongside laser to maximise the whitening effect.
Types of Teeth Whitening:
- In-Chair Whitening: A high-concentration of whitening agent along with a laser treatment
- Home Kit: A safe, low-concentration of whitening agent used at home
- Rapid Whitening: A high-concentration of whitening agent, spread over the surface for a long period
- Whitening of devitalized tooth: A whitening agent is inserted inside the discoloured tooth that has nerve damage from an external factor
- Whitening of the gums: Pigmentation of the gum is improved through laser and other methods
Cases that require teeth whitening:
- Patients with teeth that are yellow or dark due to discolouration
- Patients with pigmented teeth due to frequent consumption of coffee or green tea
- Those with dark discolouration due to external injury
- Patients with teeth that have discoloured due to excessive smoking
- Those with naturally darker teeth
- Those in need of quick aesthetic correction for marriage, job interview or events

Zeah Doctor’s Guide
Dr. Dong Kyu Lee (Director)
Extensive clinical experience is required for each whitening methods.
There is a great number of the population that are regular smokers and consumers of coffee/green tea, which increases the level of discolouration on teeth. Although there are whitening products in the market, such as a whitening toothpaste, the effects prove to be inadequate. This may be due to the source of discolouration on teeth. For the patient to receive the most appropriate whitening treatment, the clinician requires extensive clinical experience to guarantee the effects of whitening. Any sharp pain or wounds on the gums needs to be treated prior to starting a whitening treatment and thorough maintenance of oral hygiene is critical afterwards. It is also important not to consume food with colouring or staining qualities.
