FAQ's
Does this really work?
Our laser teeth whitening is guaranteed to achieve between 4-12 shades whiter, we have made many customers extremely happy with their new teeth, please see our customers page for some genuine reviews from real people.
Are there any side effects?
Almost all of our customers have never experienced any side effects after treatment, in a few cases some customers have experience slight sensitivity in a tooth to cold, cold drinks etc., this will disappear after a short period of time and return to normal that day. This is rare and if you are concerned please calls us for an informal chat
Is this safe?
Our procedure and technology is 100% safe, we have plenty of experience in this field and the process is constantly reviewed to ensure we keep a high standard of safety
Can you whiten my crowns?
Crowns can only be whitened back to their natural colour and in some cases will be a slightly different shade to the rest of your natural teeth due to our laser technology; you may need to consider seeing your dentist after you have your teeth whitened to get your crowns replaced to match your new white teeth.
You come to me for treatment?
Yes, we come to your home or work place for your convenience and we cover most areas in Essex. We have learnt that the majority of people do not feel comfortable having their teeth whitened in a salon or shop with several people around and other clients coming in and out, this is completely eliminated because we come to you at a time that suits you.
How long does it take?
Treatment takes between 45-60 minutes, but please allow 90 minutes for your time with us.
What's the difference between laser teeth whitening and whitening kits bought from the dentist or on the internet?
The traditional method of using home teeth whitening kits bought from your dentist or on the internet requires you to insert trays into your mouth or stick pre gelled strips onto your teeth night after night. Both these methods of teeth whitening take several weeks to work before you would notice any difference and you risk buying products that may cause severe damage to your teeth or enamel. For most, results from home whitening kits can prove to be very frustrating and regular visits to the dentist simply aren't convenient or affordable as dentist will often charge £400-£800. Our procedure is completed in an hour, we use a much safer solution and our whitening process is not just solely based around a solution but rather our powerful light that begins the whole whitening process.
How do the results compare with a top "Harley Street" clinic?
In short the results are exactly the same, our job is to get you the best results possible.
Will just one treatment make them as white as possible?
Yes, if your teeth are not severely stained then you can expect your teeth to be at their whitest in just one treatment, however if your teeth are heavily stained, then you may need to repeat treatment to have them at their brightest. It really depends on individual cases and what caused the staining in the first place but we will go over all this with you in the consultation.
Will all my teeth be laser whitened?
We can whiten all your smile teeth that are accessible by the laser light, teeth at the very back of your mouth will not be whitened as much as the light struggles to reach those areas.
How long will my teeth stay white for?
That depends on your life style, If you drink lots of tea, coffee, cola, red wine, eat curry and smoke, then you may need to repeat this treatment every six to eight months or so, If you do not have those habits and you look after your teeth well, then your teeth will stay whiter for up to two years. Remember repeat customers for top up treatments get a fantastic discount for life, see our special offers page.
What are the causes of tooth discolouration and staining?
- Drinks (such as tea, coffee, red wine, cola) smoking habits are one of the main causes to staining and discolouration
- Aging
- Anti-biotic medicines (tetracycline)
- Trauma (injury) to the teeth
- Pulp (nerve degeneration)
When can I next brush my teeth?
You can brush your teeth the same evening you have your session, but brush very gently using a soft toothbrush if possible avoiding your gums.
Can I smoke straight away?
It is recommended that you do not smoke for 48 hours as you risk some staining because the film over your teeth will still be forming, gently brushing will help speed up the film process
How long after treatment can I eat and drink?
You can eat and drink straight away but for the first 48 hours avoid dark coloured foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, cola, wine, curry, try to stick to white foods, rice, chicken, lemonade etc…
Does the treatment hurt?
Not at all, we have never experienced any of our customers feeling pain during the procedure, there may be some light tingling during the process but this will disappear once treatment is complete, the most uncomfortable part of the treatment is the cheek retractor but we don't receive any complaints from customers.
