SOME OF YOUR COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Does Teeth Whitening really work?

 Consultation
Of course it does! The surface of the teeth contains millions of microscopic pores, and over the years, organic compounds fromfood, fizzy drinks, tea, coffee or tobacco penetrate these pores causing discoloration of the tooth enamel. Almost all natural teeth respond to the whitening process, however some people s teeth take longer to whiten such as those with tetracycline antibiotic staining.

Does Teeth Whitening damage the enamel of the teeth?
Research shows there is no risk to the enamel of the teeth.

Does whitening work on veneers, crowns, bridges and fillings?
The whitening procedure will not whiten crowns, veneers, bridges or fillings however they will be restored to their original colour.

Will it Hurt?
Most people find the procedure painless, however a small percentage may experience temporary sensitivity to hot and cold for 24-48 hours following treatment.

How long will the results last?
This depends on the system that is used. The SmileQuest lazer light procedure will stay noticeably whiter for 18-24 months, however a 10 minute top up treatment every 6-12 months will maintain that dazzling smile. Alternatively, the SmileQuest White at Home Kit and Whitening Wand will also work their magic.
