Q. How does the LightSpa System work?
A. We use a break-through product that was developed in the United States and has been in use here for several months. Our double sided mouthpiece is equipped with a bite registration that instantly matches your teeth for a custom fit every time. Our proprietary whitening gel is then applied to the mouthpiece and is activated by our highly advanced spectrum blue LED. The formulation will reduce the appearance stains and whiten your teeth up to seven shades in just 15 minutes.
Q. How long does this process take and what are the results?
A. Results can vary as everyone is different. The grade of your teeth and your age can affect the process, but we recommend a 15 minute treatment. Nearly everyone sees amazing results in just one treatment.
Q. How long will the results last?
A. One to two years is not unusual and depends greatly on lifestyle. If you drink coffee, tea, red wine and soda on a daily basis your results may not last as someone who only drinks water. Smokers will have great results but will have to repeat the procedure more often than non-smokers.
Q. Is the LightSpa system safe?
A. Research has shown that if the teeth and gums are normal and healthy there are no adverse effects to whitening one’s teeth.
Q. Who may benefit from the LightSpa system?
A. Almost everyone can enjoy the benefit of the professional whitening process if their teeth and gums are healthy. Remember, teeth can not be made whiter than genetically possible. Tetracycline stains are very difficult to hide.
Q. I have a crown on my anterior or front teeth. Will your product whiten my crown?
A. No. The standard procedure is to whiten all adjacent teeth, wait two weeks for the color to stabilize, then go to your dentist and have him match the crown to the new shade of your teeth. On the contrary, if a crown is already been in place for many years the whitening process can return the rest of the teeth to the original shade prior to the crown placement. The same is true for composites, bridges, and veneers.
Q. Is the gel and peroxide in your product the same as that from my dentist?
A. Absolutely. Our partner in dentistry is one of the largest whitening product manufacturers in the world and supplies a great deal of product to dental offices worldwide. The key to the success of our whitening system is our blue light technology which increases the potency of whitening in a fraction of the time and cost.
Q. Is this procedure done by a dentist?
A. This is a cosmetic process and is provided by a teeth whitening professional not a dentist.
Q. What causes stains?
A. Some teeth are naturally pigmented or stained as they develop. Typically, stains come from exposure to tea, coffee, smoking, juices, colas, wine, age, or just about anything that would stain a white tee shirt.
Q. Are there any side effects?
A. Some people may feel a little tingling sensation, white gum line, or sensitivity, all of which are normal and not harmful.
Q. How long before I can eat or drink after my treatment?
A. During the first 24 hours after the treatment we recommend avoiding coffee, tea, dark colored sodas, red wines, berries, candy, red sauces, beets, or any foods that have the propensity to stain. Remember if it can stain a white tee shirt it can stain your teeth.
