Whitening Eligibility and Important Information for First-Time Patients
At our clinic, teeth whitening is available to patients who have completed initial periodontal treatment and cavity care, either at our clinic or another dental facility, and are undergoing regular maintenance.
＜For patients receiving maintenance at another clinic＞
Our dentist will first examine your oral condition. If gingivitis, cavities, or other issues are found, you will need to complete treatment at our clinic before starting whitening.
As a result, first-time patients may not be able to receive whitening treatment on the same day as their initial visit.
＜What to Expect During Your First Visit＞
Examination: To determine if whitening is suitable for you.
Explanation: Detailed information about the whitening process.
If there are no issues, whitening treatment will begin. If treatment is necessary, we will start with that.
＜Our Recommendation＞
While it is possible to receive whitening treatment only at our clinic while continuing care or maintenance at another dental clinic, we recommend that you receive all dental treatments and maintenance at our clinic. This helps prevent any potential issues or misunderstandings with your primary dentist.
P＜ossible Issues to Consider＞
・Tooth Sensitivity: If you had cavity treatment at another clinic, you may experience increased sensitivity after whitening. Whitening can occasionally cause temporary sensitivity, especially in treated teeth.
・Gingivitis: If your regular dentist did not mention gingivitis, but our clinic recommends treatment before whitening.
・Retreatment: If our clinic identifies a need for retreatment on a tooth that was previously treated at another clinic before whitening.
We ask for your understanding and cooperation to avoid these issues.
