How does teeth whitening work at Standard Dental in Jamsil?

Quick answer

Standard Dental Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul offers in-office teeth whitening — the clinic's "White Clear" program — which lightens natural teeth without drilling. Many people see a change of about 2–3 steps on the shade guide, though results vary; any sensitivity usually settles within 1–2 days, and results typically last 1–2 years depending on habits. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't whiten. The price is not published, so message us on WhatsApp or LINE for a quote.

  • Drilling  none
  • Typical change  about 2–3 shade steps (results vary)
  • Visits  can be a single visit
  • Price  quoted on request (+10% VAT on cosmetic work)

Is it right for you?

Who is teeth whitening for?

Whitening works on the natural enamel of your teeth. It's a good first step for many people, but not a fix for everything.

Usually a good fit

  • Natural teeth that have yellowed  or picked up stains from coffee, tea, wine or smoking.
  • Before veneers or crowns,  so the new ceramic can be matched to your lighter shade.
  • Visitors short on time,  since in-office whitening can be done in one visit.

Wait, or consider something else

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding  — postpone whitening until later.
  • Decay or inflamed gums  — these are treated first.
  • Crowns, veneers or white fillings on front teeth  — they won't change color.
  • One dark tooth after a root canal  — it may need internal bleaching instead.

How we do it

What happens at a whitening appointment?

  1. Check-up

    The dentist examines your teeth and gums. Decay or gum inflammation is treated before whitening, because whitening on top of it can be uncomfortable and uneven.

  2. Shade record

    Your starting shade is checked against a shade guide so you can compare afterwards.

  3. In-office whitening

    The whitening treatment is applied in the clinic. Nothing is drilled or removed from the tooth.

  4. The next 48 hours

    Avoid strongly colored food and drink and smoking for about 48 hours while the teeth settle.

Typical change

These are typical figures, not promises. How much your teeth lighten depends on their natural color, the type of staining and the thickness of your enamel. How long the result lasts depends mostly on habits — coffee, tea, red wine and smoking bring color back faster. Regular cleaning helps; if you live in Korea and are enrolled in NHIS, scaling is covered once a year for adults.
