HOW DO THE SESSIONS WORK? WILL I HAVE TO COME BACK MULTIPLE TIMES?
All packages can be booked in one appointment (the “Iconic Smile” consists of 2 sessions). During a session the whitening gel will be applied to your teeth, and you will then sit under the blue LED light for 20 minute intervals. In between each 20 minute interval you will rinse your mouth and then repeat until the session you have chosen is complete.
WILL THE PROCEDURE MAKE MY TEETH SENSITIVE?
There shouldn’t be any sensitivity or discomfort during or after the procedure. The gel contains a desensitizing agent that hydrates your teeth which helps to eliminate sensitivity.
HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST?
A touch-up is recommended every 3-6 months, however results will vary depending on your daily habits (ex: drinking coffee, red wine and/or smoking, etc.)
DO RESTORATIONS (FILLINGS), CROWNS, IMPLANTS, ETC WHITEN?
The short answer is no. Unfortunately anything that is not a natural tooth will not whiten. That being said, if you are planning to get any dental work done on your front teeth in the near future this is the perfect opportunity to whiten them! You will be able to get your teeth to the desired shade of whiteness prior to the dental work being done (ex: once your teeth are at the shade you desire you can then proceed to pick out the shade for your new crown or implant to match your new white smile).
IS COSMETIC TEETH WHITENING SAFE?
Yes! The whitening gel we use is 100% safe not only for your enamel, but also for any dental work you have had (ex: fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, etc). Our custom gel is registered with the FDA and is Health Canada approved.
It is still of utmost importance that you see your dentist and dental hygienist regularly for routine check-ups and cleanings to ensure a healthy mouth.
HOW MANY SHADES WHITER CAN I EXPECT MY TEETH TO GET?
This varies from person to person and cannot be predicted or guaranteed. In general, teeth may lighten anywhere from 6 to 10 shades. The results greatly depend on how discolored the teeth were originally. Additional whitening sessions may be needed inorder to achieve your desired shade of whiteness.
WHY IS PROFESSIONAL WHITENING BETTER THAN OTHER OPTIONS?
The greatest benefit to professional teeth whitening is that you see results instantly. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional teeth whitening uses a stronger formula that can provide you with a noticeably whiter smile in a single treatment. Although over-the-counter products that you can purchase at the drugstore seem convenient, it often takes more than a week to start seeing any results.
