Frequently asked questions
Does Teeth Whitening really work?
Of course it does! The surface of the teeth contains millions of microscopic pores, and
over the years, organic compounds from food, fizzy drinks, tea, coffee or tobacco penetrate these pores causing discoloration of the tooth enamel. Almost all natural teeth respond to the whitening process, however some people's teeth take longer to whiten such as those with tetracycline antibiotic staining.
Does Teeth Whitening damage the enamel of the teeth?
Research shows there is no risk to the enamel of the teeth.
Does whitening work on veneers, crowns, bridges and fillings?
The whitening procedure will not whiten crowns, veneers, bridges or fillings however they
will be restored to their original colour.
Will it Hurt?
Most people find the procedure painless. Some people have some sensitivity after treatment but this is temporary and lasts only 12-24 hours.
How long will the results last?
The SmileQuest lazer light procedure will stay noticeably whiter for 18-24 months, however a 10 minute top up treatment every 12-18 months will maintain that dazzling smile.
