Medical Whitening
Medical Whitening
Professional whitening refers to treatments performed at a dental clinic, including office whitening conducted in the clinic and home whitening carried out at home under the guidance of a dentist or dental hygienist.
While the materials used may differ, all procedures are performed under the supervision of a dental professional, prioritizing safety.
What is Office Whitening?

Office whitening is a whitening treatment performed at a dental clinic by a dentist or dental hygienist using specialized equipment.
Unlike whitening toothpastes used at home, which only whiten the surface of the teeth, office whitening breaks down deeply embedded pigments, whitening your teeth from the inside out.
Low-Irritation, Safe, and Highly Effective Whitening Agent
At our clinic, we use Thion, a whitening agent that is low-irritation, safe, and highly effective.
When the gel is applied and exposed to light, electrons are released from V-CAT in the reactor, which then react with the hydrogen peroxide in the gel.
This generates a large number of hydroxyl radicals, efficiently breaking down stains on the teeth.

Before applying the whitening agent, plaque and tartar on the tooth surface are removed to ensure that the whitening ingredients can work effectively on the teeth.
