Professional Medical Teeth Whitening
Advanced in-office dental whitening and customized take-home trays utilizing medical-grade hydrogen peroxide activated by specialized LED light for immediate, sensitivity-free brightening.
Professional Medical Teeth Whitening at Lime Tree Dental Hospital
A radiant, confident smile starts with healthy, naturally bright teeth. Over time, dietary habits (coffee, tea, red wine, curry), tobacco use, natural aging, and certain medications cause deep intrinsic and extrinsic enamel discoloration. At Lime Tree Dental Hospital in Myeongdong, Seoul, our medical teeth whitening program delivers fast, safe, and noticeable shade improvements while strictly protecting your enamel and gingival tissues from sensitivity.
Unlike commercial over-the-counter strips or beauty salon whitening, medical teeth whitening is administered and supervised by licensed dental specialists using professional-grade, KFDA/FDA-approved bleaching formulations and precision isolation barriers.

- Shade Matching with VITA Classical Guide:
- High-resolution baseline photography and shade recording under standardized 5500K clinical lighting.
- Gingival Barrier Application:
