F.A.Q
Does it hurt?
- A few people who have trouble drinking cold or hot drinks or eating ice cream can sometimes experience some mild sensitivity response to their Teeth Whitening procedure.
These cases are very rare, but can be uncomfortable for susceptible individuals and can last several days.
Scaling & Polishing your teeth prior to teeth whitening can increase the risk if hypersensitivity.
- Tooth sensitivity following the use of whitening products subsides within 12-24 hours. Such clients report relief from Ibuprofen (Nurofen) Tablets.Where there is hypersensitivity a Pain Relief Gel such as ‘Orajel’ can provide immediate relief.
Sensitivity is generally not painful; clients with sensitive teeth say “it was more just a mild discomfort lasting just a few hours, but well worth it for their whiter teeth”.
Nevertheless, because we want to ensure your greatest comfort in our clinics as you relax and listen to soft music during the procedure, we take every precaution to help relieve any sensitivity
Using a Desensitising Tooth Paste
Desensitising Tooth Pastes such as Sensodyne® or sinilar can help make your teeth whitening more comfortable.
- Clients using Sensodyne are usually sensitivity-free during and after their procedure, which is typically when clients with sensitive teeth can experience a degree of whitening-related sensitivity. Further, our clients using Sensodyne were significantly more satisfied with their whitening experience. Hence, we recommend that whitening patients brush with Sensodyne® or similar, two times a day prior to the whitening procedure.
Is it safe?
Scientific research has shown that the active ingredients in the BEYOND® OSMO™ Teeth Whitening Gel are very effective and extremely safe for cosmetic tooth whitening.
In a recent clinical study our whitening gel was scientifically proven to be Safer than Orange Juice.
The dental community has used these ingredients in performing teeth whitening for more than 130-years.
Teeth Whitening gel was first used to whiten teeth in 1884 and although more than 130 years have passed, there has never been a recorded case of any hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening gel damaging the enamel of a healthy tooth.
I thought Teeth Whitening had to be applied by my Dentist?
Because the sole purpose of Cosmetic Teeth Whitening is for beautification it is globally considered to be a Cosmetic procedure rather than a health or dental treatment, cosmetic teeth whitening is provided by both Dentists and Specialist Aestheticians.
The Legal definition of a cosmetic product is;
“any substance or preparation intended for placing in contact with the various external part of the human body or with the teeth and mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or principally to cleaning them, perfuming them or protecting them in order to keep them in good condition, change their appearance or correct body odours” (The EU Cosmetics Directive (implemented in the UK by the UK Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations.
How Teeth Whitening Works
When it comes to teeth whitening, your teeth have two basic elements.
The two basic elements.
- The Dentin is the actual ‘tooth-bone’ that gives your teeth their natural white-ivory colour
- The Enamel is a clear, ‘glass-like’ protein layer’ that ‘clothes’ the tooth Dentin.
Whenever the Enamel ‘window’ is stained, it veils the natural white-ivory colour of your teeth, and your teeth appear yellow or darker than they naturally would. No amount of surface brushing can remove such staining.
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening safely cleans the enamel ‘window’ by whitening the stains locked deeply within, instantly revealing the natural whiteness of your teeth.
Whitening occurs as oxygen molecules from the teeth whitening gel spreads throughout the tooth enamel bleaching the discolored molecules in your teeth. This results in a ‘glass-clear’ Enamel ‘window’ revealing the natural whiteness of your Dentin below.
“It’s a bit like window cleaning”
Is the Teeth Whitening treatment for everyone?
The Teeth Whitening treatment provides dramatic results for anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. This includes people with teeth that have been stained by smoking or by substances such as coffee or tea. It also whitens teeth antibotically stained by tetracycline, speckled by fluoride, or hereditary discolouration.
Pregnant or Breast Feeding or under 16yrs:
All Teeth Whitening is ‘Contraindicated’ for Women Pregnant & Breast feeding and children under 16 years.
That means, although these reasons have not been scientifically proven, these factors are considered to serve as a reason to withhold a certain treatment during this time. Therefore, until scientific research studies these factors and says yes or no, certain products are ‘Contraindicated’ as an unproven safety risk.
How white will my teeth get?
Because all teeth whiten differently it is not possible to guarantee how white an individuals teeth might become.
Nevertheless, for most, after undergoing whitening with our In-Clinic Teeth Whitening System, teeth shades whiten between 2 to 10 shades depending upon how stained your teeth are. Of course, if your teeth start at say a 5, the very maximum you can whiten is 5 shades.
Although individual results vary, the end result will be a whiter, shiny smile. Some clients with badly stained teeth or Tetracycline (antibiotic) staining may require several procedures.
How long will my whitening last?
This varies from person to person and depends on diet and lifestyle; for a few fortunate individuals with atypical diets the effects can last up to 1-2 years. However, for most, their teeth whitening lasts 3 – 9 months.
Periodic touch-up treatments are recommended 3-monthly for clients who frequently consume coffee or other staining foods and drinks or for those that use tobacco products.
