Question 1

How long does a treatment take?

Question 2

What results can be expected?

Accepted Answer

This depends on each individual and the extent of discoloration, generally from 5-14 shades lighter can be achieved.  The more stained your teeth the more dramatic the result will be. Teeth whitening whether done by a dentist or another technician will not whiten your tooth enamel, however the process will bleach the stains on the surface of your teeth. The gel we use will not alter the natural colour of the tooth, it will however remove all stains and restore the tooth to it's natural colour.The results are also relevant to how regularly you have a teeth whitening procedure or use home whitening treatments. Where whitening is done every 6-12 months it is considered a maintenance procedure and results will be less dramatic.
