\Which Is Right for You?/
“I want whiter teeth, but I’m not sure which treatment is best.”
“I feel like whitening alone might not be enough…”
For those wondering, Ginza ONE Dental & Orthodontics explains the differences, advantages, and limitations of each treatment in detail.
💡 Step 1 – Clarify Your Goal
Even if the aim is simply to “whiten your teeth,” the reasons and concerns vary from person to person:
Concerned about the natural color of your teeth
Stains or yellowing are noticeable
Also worried about tooth shape or gaps
Want visible results in a short time
The right treatment will depend on what you want to prioritize.
① Whitening – Features & Who It’s For
Whitening uses a special agent to break down pigments inside the tooth, revealing a brighter, natural color.
At our clinic, we use safe, medical-grade whitening agents, applied by trained professionals.
✅ Recommended for:
Mild yellowing or discoloration due to age or staining
Wanting a natural brightening in a short time
Satisfied with current tooth shape and alignment
Preferring not to have teeth drilled
✨ Advantages:
Natural results (about 1–2 shades lighter)
Short treatment time with immediate effect
Gentle on teeth (no enamel removal)
⚠ Points to note:
Effects are not permanent; color may gradually return
May be less effective for tetracycline stains or severe discoloration
Cannot correct tooth shape, gaps, or asymmetry
② Aesthetic Laminate Veneers – Features & Who It’s For
Laminate veneers are an aesthetic treatment in which a thin layer of ceramic is bonded to the tooth surface.
They can address stubborn discoloration that whitening can’t fix, as well as uneven shapes, small gaps, and other cosmetic concerns.
✅ Recommended for:
Tetracycline discoloration or fluorosis
Wanting to improve tooth shape, size, and gaps at the same time
Seeking a total smile makeover
Unsatisfied with whitening results
✨ Advantages:
Custom-made color, shape, and texture
Long-lasting beauty (highly resistant to discoloration)
Natural translucency and shine
Can be done on as few as 1–2 teeth for a visible change
⚠ Points to note:
Requires minimal tooth reduction (varies by case)
Not covered by insurance (private treatment)
May not be suitable for certain bite conditions or habits
