About Whitening
Our Approach
We aim to achieve harmonious and natural white teeth.
Whitening is a treatment that whitens stains that cannot be removed by brushing or teeth cleaning, or yellowing of teeth due to aging or heredity, without grinding the teeth. A whitening agent is applied to the surface of the teeth to be whitened to break down yellowing and stains on the teeth. Compared to other cosmetic dentistry treatments, this treatment is easy and affordable, making it a popular treatment for women and recently for men as well.
At our clinic, we use the highly reliable GC Tion whitening system to provide whitening treatment aiming for “naturally beautiful whites. If you have crowns, we will take care to achieve a harmonious whitening of the entire tooth. If the color of the teeth itself is dark, we also offer walking bleaching, in which a bleaching agent is injected into the roots of the teeth.

Home whitening at your convenience at home
This whitening process is performed at home under the guidance of a dentist. First, a mouth tray that fits the teeth is made, and a low-concentration whitening agent is injected into the tray and worn at home. By wearing the trays for 2 to 8 hours every day, teeth will whiten in about one week, depending on the individual. Since it can be done while you are sleeping, you can use your time effectively.
Advantages of Home Whitening
- You can adjust the whiteness of your teeth to your desired level.
- Less pain due to the use of a low-concentration agent.
- Bleaching can be done at your own pace.
- Less rebound
Disadvantages of home whitening
- Takes longer than office whitening
Office whitening can whiten teeth in a short period of time
This is a whitening method performed by dentists, in which whitening gel is applied to the teeth and a specially shaped light is irradiated to break down the pigment and whiten the teeth. Compared to home whitening, in-office whitening can whiten teeth in a shorter period of time, making it suitable for people with limited time. However, because it uses a relatively strong agent, some people may experience staining.
Advantages of office whitening
- Teeth can be whitened immediately.
Disadvantages of office whitening
- Quick rebound
Gum bleaching (gum bleaching) for those who are concerned about the color of their gums
Just like the whiteness of teeth, the color of gums is also surprisingly noticeable. Darkened gums do not make for a beautiful mouth even if the teeth are whitened. Our clinic also offers treatment to restore healthy and beautiful gum color, so please consult with us.
Increase your dental awareness from beautiful white teeth!
As people become more conscious about their teeth and mouth, the need for teeth whitening is also increasing.
Our desire is not only to whiten your teeth, but also to make your mouth look beautiful and healthy.
We offer a variety of menus to meet your needs and symptoms
As the phrase “Meibo Koushi” (bright and beautiful teeth) suggests, white teeth are a symbol of beauty. There are many people who want to have a beautiful smile, to have the white teeth they have always dreamed of, or to remove yellowing or staining from their teeth.
At our clinic, we do not just whiten your teeth, but we will guide you to the best treatment after carefully discussing why you want to whiten your teeth and what your concerns are.
Normal whitening is available in two types: the type that can be done easily at home over time, and the type that can be done in a short time at the clinic. We also offer treatment for teeth that are darkened from the inside after having a nerve removed (walking bleach) and laser treatment for darkened gums, so please feel free to consult with us.
Frequently Asked Questions
歯のクリーニング（PMTC）だけで歯を白くすることはできますか？
歯の表面の着色の場合は、クリーニング（PMTC）だけできれいになります。
歯の内部的変色や本来の歯の色以上に白くしたい場合は、ホワイトニングやセラミックなどの方法もあります。
ホワイトニングはどれくらいで治療が終わりますか？
患者さんによりますが、ホームホワイトニング（ご自宅で行う方法）で約1か月、オフィスホワイトニング（歯科医院で行う方法）なら3～4回ほどで効果を感じる方が多いようです。ただし、個人差が大きいのも事実です。
お急ぎであれば、歯の状態に応じたできるだけ早い方法をご提案させていただきますのでご相談ください。
ホワイトニングは痛みがあると聞いたのですが…
痛みの感覚は個人差が大きく、同じ薬剤でも痛みがある方とない方がいらっしゃいます。当院では、ホワイトニングの方法を調節したり、知覚過敏抑制ジェルを併用したりしていますので、多くの患者さんが苦痛なくご希望の白さまでホワイトニングを行っています。
ホワイトニングをしても白くならないことはありますか？
詰め物や差し歯などの人工の歯、グレーに変色している歯は、ホワイトニングをしても白くなりません。このような歯を白くすることをご希望であれば、セラミックなどの審美歯科治療をおすすめしています。
また、変色の度合いが強い場合、歯に茶色の縞模様が存在している場合は、なかなか白くなりません。とはいえ、ホワイトニング方法の調節で、目立たなく改善でき、患者さんにもご満足いただく結果を得ています。あきらめず、一度ご相談ください。
