Frequently Asked Questions

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening restores the natural colour of the teeth by removing stains that have built up by lifestyle and diet.

Why do we need teeth whitening?

As a person ages the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the teeth as the enamel becomes less poress. Teeth become stained by bacterial pigments, foods and beverages. Some clients don’t respond well for a variety of reasons including age, enamel condition and type of discoloration.

How safe is teeth whitening?

We offer the latest whitening gel approved for use in Australia. We have a hygienic non-touch procedure.

Our gels are gentle and safe, problems are extremely rare.

Do you have the right expectations?

Teeth Whitening does not give the client paper white teeth regardless of the level of peroxide used unless their teeth were that colour prior to staining.

What is the maximum result that can be achieved?

Teeth whitening bleaches the stains on the surface of the teeth, it doesn’t whiten enamel no matter who does it, even a dentist. This is the case no matter how strong the lamp is or how strong the peroxide is. Teeth with very little staining due to good diet or the use of home whitening treatments may not show as large a result. The more stained a person’s teeth the greater the result will be. The whiter the persons teeth were originally the whiter the result that can be achieved. Each client will have unique results and will have a different start and post treatment shade and will lighten by a different number of shades.

Our clients get the best results possible with teeth whitening; however it is important to remember  results are very subjective as each individual is different.

ALLERGIES/REACTIONS/SENSITIVITY

What if I have a client that is allergic reaction can they use a non-peroxide whitening treatment?

We would not recommend it as most bleaching agents break down in to elements including peroxide as they work.

What we recommend for clients that have sensitive teeth?

Clients who have sensitive teeth and know in advance have a couple of options to minimise the potential discomfort. You can suggest they use Sensodyne toothpaste for a few days to a week before their treatment and for a few days after. You can also offer a non peroxide treatment which is gentler for these clients.

Client wants their teeth whiter, when can they have another teeth whitening treatment?

There is no exact times given for the time in between a treatment, however about 3-4 months is as often as would be necessary Keep in mind your teeth will only whiten to the colour they were originally grown. Teeth whitening is a stain removal process and results are subjective as each client  is different and so is their lifestyle

Why is peroxide whitening treatment done in 2 x 20 minute sessions instead of all at once?

After about 20 minutes the peroxide gel ‘peaks’. This means it has completed the reaction for that application and very little stain breakdown will occur from this point. This is why it is important to completely remove one application prior to applying the next one.

How often should you come back for a maintenance treatment?

Every 3-4 months is all that is required for maintenance. A top up treatment will only be beneficial if the client still has staining visible after the triple treatment.
