The short answer
Before whitening, discuss whether your teeth are suitable, whether you have sensitivity, and how existing crowns or fillings affect the result. At Yonsei Severance Dental Clinic in Gongdeok, the plan and fees are explained after examination.
1. Is whitening suitable for my teeth?
Colour changes have different causes. A dental examination helps distinguish surface staining from other changes and checks for concerns that may need attention before whitening. Cleaning and bleaching have different purposes.
2. What should I share about sensitivity?
Mention current sensitivity, previous whitening experiences and dental restorations. Ask what discomfort may occur and how the clinic would adjust the plan. Your travel schedule should leave room for advice and follow-up if needed.
3. What result is realistic?
Whitening does not affect every tooth or restoration in the same way. Ask how crowns and fillings could look beside natural teeth, what change is reasonable for your starting shade, and what costs are involved. Results vary; photographs of other patients are examples rather than predictions.
Prepare a simple consultation message
Send your Seoul dates, your main goal and whether you have sensitive teeth or visible restorations. A photo can help with preliminary discussion, but the final plan requires an in-person examination. Japanese and Thai visitors can contact the clinic through LINE; English visitors can use WhatsApp.
Continue everyday care
Keep up brushing and interdental cleaning and follow the instructions for your chosen treatment. Speak to a dentist before using unverified whitening remedies or products. Whitening supports appearance but does not replace routine oral care.
Common questions
Can I choose whitening without veneers?
Yes. You can ask about whitening as a focused service. Suitability is assessed first.
Will crowns and fillings change colour too?
They may not respond like natural teeth. Discuss visible restorations and possible shade differences before treatment.
Can a photo confirm the result?
No. Photos support an initial discussion, but diagnosis and expectations require examination.
