FAQ's
- Is whitening safe for teeth enamel?
- Review of available studies indicates no evidence of harm to enamel based on our whitening protocol and gel application. Typically enamel problems are associated with acidic products notably sodas. Our gel is virtually PH neutral (6.5PH) and has Xylitol which neutralizes the bacteria which causes plaque.
- Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?
- Virtually no one has any tooth sensitivity with our whitening product. A small percentage of people will have minor discomfort in their mouth and this normally dissipates within 10 minutes. Should you need to stop the treatment for any reason, there is no charge.
- Does whitening harm caps, crows or veneers?
- All of these stain over time and become discoloured through normal eating and drinking. Our process will not harm any of these and will remove the stains that have accumulated over time.
- How long does whitening last?
- Typical results vary based on a number of factors including genetics and lifestyle. While no two people are the same most people will want a single touch up session in approximately 6 months which can be booked with your next dental appointment.
