Your teeth whitening appointment consists of (3) 20-minute sessions.
Session 1: Allows for the pores in your teeth to open. You won’t notice a difference in color yet.

Teeth whitening delivers the best results within 6 months of a teeth cleaning at your dentist. Many patients opt to book around the same time for amazing results.

Most clients do not have any sensitivity with our teeth whitening system. The whitening gel is produced with sensitivity and allergies in mind.
When you whiten at a dentist’s office, a higher strength peroxide is used which dehydrates your teeth at a much faster rate. Dehydration of your teeth, roots and gums is normal with whitening, but also what causes sensitivity.
Drink plenty of water prior to your appointment and use the take-home demineralization gel to strengthen and restore your enamel and minimize any sensitivity.

To protect your lips and gums from the topical solution, we apply Vitamin E oil, but there is always a chance a small area may blanch, or whiten.
This is considered a very minor chemical burn and will go away within an hour or less unless it has blistered.
If a blister occurs, your technician will apply a fresh layer of Vitamin E oil. Drink plenty of water to help your mouth heal. The mouth is the fastest healing part of our bodies!

Our LED teeth whitening lightens teeth 5-8 shades during your (3) 20-minute sessions.
Remember: Not everyone will experience the same results with teeth whitening. Genetics, age and diet are a huge factor. There is a natural stopping point in the tooth structure, and when that point is reached, they will not get whiter during that session.
