Q & A
Is the procedure safe?
The treatment does not damage the teeth enamel or structure of the teeth/and or gums at all and is perfectly safe.
When will I see the results?
This treatment has immediate results.
Does it hurt, are there needles involved?
It is quick and easy and causes no pain or teeth sensitivity but you may experience some tenderness in your gums because the teeth whitening gel eradicates the bacteria that reside between your teeth and soft tissue of the gum.
How long does it take?
The treatment is carried out in a private area or in your home and will include a consultation, an explanation of the procedure and the benefits of the system. The whole procedure will take 1 to 1 ½ hours to perform (up to 3/4 hour for actual teeth whitening).
How will the treatment effect eating/drinking?
For best results you must avoid dark food or staining agents for the first 48 hours because your teeth will be especially vulnerable to staining. You should avoid tobacco and any food or beverage that would stain a white your teeth. Some examples are:
Chocolate
Curry
Berries or other dark fruits and sauces
Ketchup
Tomatoes and juices
Red wine
Dark Vegetables
Tea/Coffee
Cola
Food containing colouring
We advise you to only have white food and drink for 48 hours after the treatment or you may stain your teeth again.
We will provide you with full details of the food/drink you can and cannot eat plus a free menu guide.
Are you a Dentist?
We are not Dentist, our teeth whitening procedure is a "Cosmetic treatment" carries out by a trained technician.
How often can this treatment be carried out?
This depends on your lifestyle; we recommend every 12 months just touching up. You can have it done as often as you like. A saturation point will be achieved where your teeth have been restored to their original colour.
Can you have the treatment if pregnant or lactating?
We advise not to, though there are no health risk we have not conducted any field trials.
Can it whiten crowns or veneers?
Yes, though they will only return to their original colour.
How white will my teeth become?
This depends on the level of discolouration. The treatment is particularly effective for removing tobacco, coffee and red wine stains. Your teeth will only be restored back to their natural whiteness.
How long will the results last?
We state that on average the treatment last between 12-18 months depending on various factors such as smoking and regularly consuming staining agents.
Why is the this treatment such good value?
A trained therapist can carry out the treatment as opposed to a relatively expensive Dentist who has expensive overheads. The procedure is a purely cosmetic treatment.
