how white will my teeth get?
Its best to have a realistic expectation before undergoing any whitening treatment. Teeth whitening results are subjective, varying considerably from person to person. Teeth whitening can change a tooth’s colour by several shades, however we will only be able to get your teeth as white as your natural enamel colour. this is the case with all cosmetic teeth whitening treatments offered.
In saying that, majority of people have years of stains built up as a result of food, drink and lifestyle factors. After a WHITE treatment, most clients can expect 5 to 12 shades lighter depending on the treatment selected. It’s important to note that previous use of teeth whitening products may reduce the results you achieve.
how long will the RESULTS LAST?
Teeth whitening is not permanent, but how long the effects last will depend on the type of treatment you have and how well you look after your teeth afterwards.
In most cases, teeth whitening can last from 6 months up to 2 years. We recommend you come back for a top up after 6 to 8 weeks. There is a greater chance of your teeth staying whiter for longer if you avoid smoking, staining foods and drinks such as tea and coffee.

You should never experience pain with teeth whitening, whether its performed by a professional technician or at the dentist.

Teeth can only ever be whitened to their original natural colour. Although years of staining from Caps, crowns and veneers can be removed, they can not be whitened further then the colour they were matched with originally.
