Your treatment options
What whitening can and cannot change
Whitening is intended for natural tooth structure. Surface stains, restorations and internal discolouration may need a different plan.
02
Crowns, veneers and fillings
Restorative materials do not whiten. If they are visible, their existing shade may look different after nearby natural teeth change.
03
Decay, gums and sensitivity
Active decay, gum disease, cracks or sensitivity may need assessment or treatment before a whitening agent is used.
Treatment options
In-office and take-home whitening
Office and take-home methods can be selected around your schedule, oral condition and preference.
Office whitening
A whitening agent is applied at the clinic. One set includes two consecutive light applications at one treatment visit and one enamel-care cleaning.
¥38,500 for one set including tax.
Take-home whitening
Custom upper and lower trays are used with the supplied gel at home. It is usually continued for about two weeks to one month.
¥38,500 starter set including upper/lower trays and two gel syringes.
Combined plan
Office and take-home methods may be combined when the schedule and desired approach support it. The total is itemised before treatment.
Cleaning or restorative care
Surface stain may respond to professional cleaning. A visible filling, crown or veneer may need separate restorative planning if its colour no longer fits the surrounding teeth.
After your examination, we will explain the recommended option, total fee and expected schedule before you decide.
Examination and treatment planning
Your dental check before whitening
The first appointment for a new patient is an oral examination. This reduces the risk of applying whitening treatment over an untreated dental problem.
- Natural tooth colour and surface staining
- Visible crowns, veneers and fillings that will not whiten
- Decay, cracks, gum disease and exposed root surfaces
- Current sensitivity and previous whitening experience
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding, acatalasemia, allergies and other contraindications

Treatment details
Fees, treatment time and possible risks
The figures below are general guides. After examining you, we will provide a written estimate and expected schedule.
- Treatment
- Office whitening applies a peroxide-based agent at the clinic. Take-home whitening uses custom trays and gel at home. Whitening changes natural-tooth colour; restorations do not whiten.
- Fees
- Self-pay care. Office whitening is ¥38,500 for one set including one enamel-care cleaning. A take-home starter set is ¥38,500 and includes upper and lower trays with two gel syringes. Examination or dental treatment needed first is quoted separately.
- Time and visits
- A new patient has an examination at the first visit and can begin office whitening from the second visit. One office set takes about 90 minutes at one treatment visit. Take-home whitening generally continues for about two weeks to one month.
- Possible risks and side effects
- Temporary sensitivity can occur during or after whitening. The degree and duration of colour change vary and colour can gradually return. Decay, gum disease or sensitivity may require treatment first. Whitening may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for people with acatalasemia, or for some allergies or tooth conditions.
Amounts include tax. Self-pay care is not covered by Japanese public health insurance. When insured care may apply, eligibility and cost depend on the diagnosis and your insurance status.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about professional whitening
Can I book office whitening as my first appointment?
A new patient first has an oral examination. Office whitening begins from the second visit if the mouth is suitable for treatment.
How long does one office whitening set take?
One set includes two consecutive light applications and takes about 90 minutes at the treatment visit.
Will whitening change the colour of my crowns or fillings?
No. Crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten. Their colour should be considered when planning treatment for nearby natural teeth.
What if my teeth are sensitive?
Tell us before treatment. Existing sensitivity and exposed areas are assessed, and the method may be adjusted or whitening may be deferred.
Can I arrange whitening before a photograph or event?
Yes, but allow time for the first examination and possible sensitivity or adjustments. Send the event date when you contact us.
