It is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that brightens stained or discolored teeth using a whitening agent.
Teeth whitening is a treatment that brightens teeth by applying hydrogen peroxide-based whitening agents to break down internal stains. There are professional whitening treatments performed at a clinic and self-whitening treatments done at home.
Professional whitening uses high-concentration whitening agents and light for rapid results, while at-home whitening proceeds slowly using a custom tray. Both methods can also be combined.
Temporary tooth sensitivity is common after the procedure, and effectiveness may be limited depending on the cause of the prosthesis or discoloration. Staining foods such as coffee and wine affect color retention.
Temporary tooth sensitivity is a common reaction and usually subsides within a few days.
It takes 6 months to several years, varying depending on dietary habits (coloring from coffee, wine, etc.), and requires periodic care.

Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
You can usually return to your daily activities immediately, and there is no recovery period (only temporary sensitivity). If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to consult with the hospital in advance regarding post-return care methods and precautions.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
