Frequently Asked Questions

Some clients may feel minor sensitivity, but this is rare. A slight tingling might occur after treatment but fades quickly. Sensitivity typically resolves itself within 12-24 hours.

Professional teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that lightens teeth by removing surface and deeper enamel stains. Aging, medication, and consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco contribute to tooth discolouration. In-office teeth whitening provides an efficient and convenient method to achieve a noticeably brighter smile. This professional treatment can lighten teeth by six to ten shades through the application of a light-activated whitening gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. The procedure generally lasts 90 minutes with beautiful results. In some cases, teeth whitening may necessitate more than one session to achieve optimal results. Professional whitening offers safer, more effective, and longer-lasting outcomes. A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance.

Following aftercare instructions can help maintain lasting results for 6 months to 2 years. However, this may vary depending on diet and lifestyle. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and periodic touch up sessions will help maintain a whiter and brighter smile.

Results depend on your initial tooth shade, oral hygiene, lifestyle, and past whitening. Most clients achieve 4-12 shades whiter after one treatment. A dental cleaning before your appointment can also enhance your results. For extra brightness, consider upgrading to the Premium package. If a client has severe discolouration, two visits may be needed for the desired result.

Teeth whitening may be more effective for some people than others. A consultation can determine if you are a suitable candidate. Pregnant or nursing women should wait until after nursing, and individuals under 18 should also wait to whiten their teeth.

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and tomato-based sauces.

For optimal results, a maintenance plan can be determined after your initial whitening. Maintenance touch ups can be recommended as early as 4 months or every 6-12 months depending on your lifestyle.

Yes. However, crowns, veneers, and fillings on front teeth do not whiten—only natural teeth do. This may cause a contrast with newly whitened natural teeth and previous dental work. If you are not considering a change in dental work, we can whiten your teeth to match crowns, bridges, and fillings using careful monitoring. Alternatively, you may consider our Glow At-Home whitening for close at-home supervision.

The key differences are the ingredient concentration, technique, and the professional performing it. Professional whitening systems use higher percentages of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide than store-bought products. Safety and the effective use of these products should only be administered by trained professionals.
