Teeth Whitening FAQ’s

How can I get the best results?

A full in clinic laser whitening treatment will in most cases get your teeth to as white as they can naturally go. To maintain this shade improvement Dublin Teeth Whitening highly recommend the use of a post treatment teeth whitening take home kit. A take home kit will not only maintain the shade achieved in clinic, it will also discourage the build up of plaque on the front of the teeth reducing the chance of periodontal treatments required in the future. Due to these overall health and aesthetic benefits Dublin Teeth Whitening sells take home kits very close to cost price at €60.

How long is the treatment?

The treatment takes just over one hour including same day consultation.

Is teeth whitening classified as a dental treatment?

Yes. Teeth whitening should always be done by a registered dentist or dental professional who is highly experienced and comfortable with this treatment. You should avoid beauty salons to significantly reduce any risk of cross contamination or patient-to-patient transmission of infectious disease. Please always use a dental professional.

Will teeth whitening whiten false teeth?

Laser teeth whitening will only remove intrinsic staining from natural teeth. However, the gel will help remove all extrinsic staining from teeth, including false teeth. This means that your false teeth will be ‘cleaned’ back to their original colour that they were put in at.

If you are contemplating getting a crown, bridge, filling or false tooth, we would suggest that you have your teeth whitened first. Your dentist will then be able to match the shade of the false tooth to your newly whitened teeth.

Can teeth whitening be harmful?

No. Laser teeth whitening does not change the shape or structure of your teeth anyway.

Are teeth whitening results permanent?

On average results last between 12 and 18 months. Some clinics might tell you that results will last for more than three years but we have found this is simply not the case. Teeth will always stain due to lifestyle, wear and tear and ageing. Dublin Teeth Whitening rewards returning customers with a loyalty scheme.

Is laser teeth whitening treatment uncomfortable?

No. Our all new advanced formula teeth whitening gels and laser systems ensure zero sensitivity in 90% of cases. Some patients may experience minor sensitivity.

How soon will I see results?

Laser teeth whitening results are immediate! There is no lag in waiting for results. As soon as you are finished with your teeth whitening treatment, you will look in the mirror and see your bright new smile.

How white will my teeth go?

Teeth whiten on average by 8 shades. The best results depend on the mineral content contained in the dentin of your teeth. Therefore, results do vary between individuals. Mineral content depletes with age, by the foods you ingest, and can also be affected by medicines that you may have taken as a child. In most cases, we will get your teeth to as white as they were when you were a teenager and sometimes whiter. Some people prefer not to have this level of whiteness, and should request prior to a procedure not to have their teeth whitened too dramatically.
