The Revolutionary Smile Spa Whitening System....

Frequently Asked Questions.

We realize that you may have some questions about your Smile Spa treatment. This is a list of our most frequently-asked questions. However, if you have anything else that you would like to ask, please feel free to contact us.

Who should undergo the Smile Spa treatment?

The Smile Spa treatment provides dramatic results for anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. This includes people with teeth that have been stained by smoking or substances such as coffee or tea. It also whitens teeth stained by tetracycline, speckled by fluoride, or hereditary discoloration.

Who cannot undergo the Smile Spa treatment?

The Smile Spa treatment is not suitable for clients who are pregnant or lactating. The treatment is also contraindicated for children under the age of 18.

How white will my teeth go?

After undergoing whitening with The Smile Spa, teeth shades can brighten up to 11 shades, with an average improvement of eight shades on our Whitening Shade Guide. Although individual results will depend on how discoloured the teeth were originally, the end result will be a brighter, whiter smile.

How long will the whitening last?

This can last up to 2 years, but will vary from person to person and depends on your diet and lifestyle. Periodic touch-up treatments are recommended for clients who frequently consume coffee or other staining foods and drinks or for those that use tobacco products.

How does it work?

When the active ingredient in the gel is broken down by our unique light, oxygen enters the tooth enamel and dentin, removing the coloured substances. The structure of the tooth is not changed, only the tooth colour is made lighter.

Is it safe?

Yes, scientific research has shown that the active ingredients in The Smile Spa Whitening Gel are effective and safe for cosmetic tooth whitening. The dental community has used these ingredients in performing teeth whitening for years. The Smile Spa Whitening Gel does not change or damage the structure of the teeth; it merely makes them appear white and shiny.

How long does the treatment take?

The Smile Spa treatment consists of three, 10 minute applications of whitening gel and light. The treatment is completed in a single one hour appointment, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.

How often can I have the treatment done?

There are no restrictions as to how often you can have the treatment. To maintain your brighter, whiter smile, we recommend a “top up” treatment 6-9 months from your original appointment. You will receive a voucher for this after your initial appointment.

If I have veneers, bonding, or caps, will this treatment still whiten my teeth? As with all cosmetic teeth whitening treatments, this treatment is only effective on natural teeth. Veneers, caps or crowns can only ever be taken back to the same colour as the day they were put in. If your dental work is visible when you smile, you should discuss your appropriate recourse for matching these items with your surrounding enamel with your Technician. Please also note that your Smile Spa treatment will not damage any existing dental work.

What is the difference between The Smile Spa and the other light-accelerated cosmetic teeth whitening systems that I see in the press and other spas/salons?

The Smile Spa system uses real ultra power whitening technology. The foundation of our technology is the use of a powerful L.E.D light source. Clinical trials have determined that L.E.D.  light sources produce significantly superior whitening results than both Halogen and plasma arc lights, making The Smile Spa the most powerful cosmetic teeth whitening system currently available.

There are also several systems in the cosmetic teeth whitening market that use ultraviolet (UV) light as the source of their light acceleration technology. Not only are UV lights not as effective as L.E.D. lights, the client’s exposure to UV light during the whitening treatment should be minimized, not maximized through direct, unfiltered exposure.

With this system in place, The Smile Spa delivers the most intense, tailored beam of blue light of any cosmetic system on the market without the risk of UV exposure and the hyper sensitivity associated with other whitening systems.

Further to that, our gentle, enamel-safe whitening gel is specially formulated to produce optimal whitening results in the shortest amount of time, while minimizing sensitivity and leaving the teeth with a glossy shine following the treatment.

What is the difference between The Smile Spa and other teeth whitening products that I see for sale over-the-counter?

The advantage of whitening your teeth with the Smile Spa system is that you can achieve the same whitening results that would take you multiple treatments and many weeks (even months!) to achieve at home with other non-light accelerated, over-the-counter whitening products. The concept is the same: using a whitening gel to remove stains from your teeth – but the advantage of the Smile Spa system is that this process has been accelerated to product the same results in only one hour.

Will my teeth be sensitive during or after the treatment?

The Smile Spa whitening gel is a very gentle gel. Most clients experience no pain or sensitivity during or after the treatment. However, a very small percentage of clients may feel some minor tooth sensitivity, especially if he or she consumes very cold or hot foods or drinks within a few hours after the treatment. Therefore it is recommended that clients avoid consuming extremely hot or cold food or beverages for the first 24 hours following the treatment.
