We begin with a dentist consult and then take a few photos and custom impressions of your teeth for your whitening trays.
With in-chair teeth whitening, you’ll see instant results and walk out with a whiter smile in just 2 hours. With our take-home treatment, we’ll give you guidance on how to achieve the best results.
Get ready to wow with your whiter, brighter smile! If needed, we’ll also have a follow-up appointment to check in on your results.
A: A professional-grade dentist-led teeth whitening treatment will last a long time. This is because only your dentist can access the top-grade bleaching gel required to achieve the best whitening results.
However, how long your individual results will last depends on your lifestyle and dietary habits after your treatment. Eating and drinking foods with strong pigments like coffee, red wine or a turmeric-based curry will discolour your teeth a lot faster. Smoking will also stain your teeth quickly.
To maximise your results, be sure to follow your dentist’s guidance and keep up with regular dental cleans to help lift superficial stains.
A: Teeth whitening is safe when done under the guidance of a dental professional. At Illumident, we only use the highest quality professional-grade teeth whitening from the most trusted brands, including Zoom and Pola.
Before undertaking any whitening treatment, we will check your teeth and gums to ensure there are no cracks, chips, decay or gum disease present. If you suffer from tooth sensitivity, we will also be able to tailor your treatment and select the most gentle products to avoid aggravating your condition.
A: Our professional dentist-grade teeth bleaching agents are effective at lifting most stains that make teeth yellow over time. But do keep in mind that some tooth discolouration and stains will not respond as effectively to this type of treatment. For example, tetracycline stains (from certain medications) are unlikely to be removed. Also, a darkened tooth root from a ‘dead’ tooth will not lighten. This is why your dentist must assess your teeth before recommending teeth whitening as an option.
A: When done correctly, teeth whitening does not hurt. You may feel a slight tingling sensation when the gel activates but this is completely safe. Like any dental treatment, teeth whitening is safest when done under the supervision of your dental team. To ensure the best outcome, be sure to follow all of the pre- and post-treatment instructions.
