Do all commercial toothpastes whiten teeth to some extent?
It is prohibited to add bleaching ingredients to toothpaste
sold in Japan. Items that they say "whiten teeth" or "whiten" actually
mean that they "clean,” that is, remove stains from the surface.
What is the difference between "cleaning" and "whitening?"
The main purpose of cleaning is not to whiten teeth but to remove tartar and other substances on the surface of teeth using
special equipment to prevent periodontal disease and other diseases. On
the other hand, whitening is meant to bleach and whiten entire teeth.
Do you clean teeth?
We have a separate cleaning option. When combined with
whitening, the surface of your teeth will become smooth and more
beautiful. You can also choose the cleaning treatment as a standalone service.
How many times do I have to whiten my teeth to make them
white?
Although the number of times varies between individuals
depending on the person's age, the original color of their teeth, and
the expected level of whiteness, there will be noticeable effects with
one visit (1 to 3 light procedures). After that, you can choose how many
times you want to whiten your teeth and how often depending on how much
you want to whiten them.
How long is the whole treatment?
Including counseling, the first visit takes about 20 minutes
for 1 LED light procedure, about 30 minutes for 2 light procedures, and
about 40 minutes for 3 light procedures. Please be aware that there may
be some additional waiting time.
Are there any risks or side effects?
No significant risks or side effects of
whitening have been reported. However, your teeth may become
hypersensitive or experience pain if you have cavities or fine cracks in
the treated area. It will usually stop within 1 to 2 hours, or at most
within 24 hours.
Please tell me about any eating restrictions after the
treatment or other precautions.
Since we use our own coating, there are no dietary
restrictions after the treatment.
You may eat or drink anything, including coffee, red wine, and curry.
I am wearing braces. Can I be treated?
We cannot treat people with an orthodontic appliance in the
treatment area on the front of their teeth. We can treat people with
lingual braces.
I have false teeth. Can I be treated?
We can provide treatment, but please note that it is not
expected to properly whiten false teeth, dental crowns, or teeth with
nerves removed.
Can I bring my children or pets with me?

move inside the treatment booth.
Children above a certain age will be asked to wait in the waiting
room.
