Q: What are the costs involved with Afterpay?

At the time of booking, a $50 deposit is due to secure the booking. This $50 is deducted from your treatment total cost, and the remainder can then be paid on Afterpay in 4 equal fortnightly instalments. If you pay on time, you'll pay no interest and no additional fees.

Q: How does The Teeth Whitener's in chair teeth whitening treatment differ from the smaller hand-held take home kits sold online?

The Key difference is the intensity of our LED Light. For the most part, the handheld light’s wavelength may be approximately the same as ours, but the intensity of these small hand-held lights is much lower and therefore will not work as well or as fast. The purpose of the LED light is to activate the whitening gel. These lights also come with kits using carbamide peroxide, which does not react as well or as fast as hydrogen peroxide gels do with the addition of a light. The light in this case is more of a gimmick than an actual aid to teeth bleaching and can help cause the price of these take home kits to be higher than need be.

Q: Why Choose The Teeth Whitener?

At The Teeth Whitener we are 100% dedicated to customer satisfaction. We use the highest grade of whitening gel approved for use in Australia combined with an accelerated high intensity, cool, blue visible spectrum light that puts off no heat. Our new Brush-On technique utilizes our water based peroxide gel, prevents desiccation and keeps the teeth hydrated during bleaching. This hydration also prevents tooth nerve inflammation, which can lead to strong teeth sensitivity. Our system combines these three factors to give our clients the best, fastest, and whitest results with virtually no unpleasant side effects. The Teeth Whitener is also the only teeth whitening clinic in Australia where you can relax in a deluxe massage chair whilst achieving a bright new smile. Experience the difference today!

Q: How long does a treatment take?

We have a few different treatment options, so depending on the treatment you have you should allow 90 - 120 minutes for your first treatment. Follow Up and maintenance sessions 1-2 hours as required.

Q: Will it hurt or damage my teeth? Should Teeth Whitening be done by a Dentist?

Our product/ process is safe and won’t damage the enamel on your teeth. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that is non-dental. The process of cosmetic teeth whitening is almost the same as whitening performed at the Dentist. The key difference is the percentage of the Hydrogen Peroxide Gel used. The products we use are gentler and just as effective as those used by the dentist. All our products are Australian-compliant and produced to the highest standards. Regardless of who performs it, teeth whitening bleaches stains on the surface of the teeth; it does not whiten enamel. If you’ve been avoiding teeth whitening for fear it might hurt, you’ll be happy to know that there’s no evidence that teeth whitening products damage your nerves. Some people may feel a slight tingling sensation or minor sensitivity during or after a teeth whitening session. This may last for one to two days following the treatment, but goes away after that, returning to your normal level of sensitivity. Most people report no discomfort or sensitivity at all during or after their treatment. Different people react in different ways to chemicals and treatments, and this holds true for the Cosmetic Teeth Whitening procedures as well as teeth bleaching products. Some clients may have white spots, called blanching, on the teeth and gums post treatment. These effects are transient and will quickly dissipate from with a few minutes up to forty eight hours. The Teeth Whitener recommends that if a client is experiencing pain or discomfort during the treatment, they should advise the therapist immediately and consult their dentist as soon as possible as this may indicate an undiscovered or unknown problem that might be occurring in their mouths.
