How long does a treatment take?

Your comfort and care are our top priorities, and we strive to ensure that you have a relaxing and rejuvenating experience during your time with us.

What will I experience during this procedure?
At Glamorous Goddess, we understand that every individual's experience with our teeth whitening products may differ. It is not uncommon to experience a slight tingling or bubbling sensation against your teeth during the initial stages of the procedure. This sensation is perfectly normal and indicates that the whitening gel is actively generating oxygen to facilitate the bleaching process.
-
What results can be expected?
At Glamorous Goddess, the effectiveness of teeth whitening can vary depending on individual circumstances. Typically, a significant improvement of 5-16 shades lighter can be achieved, with the actual outcome influenced by the degree of discoloration. For individuals with heavily stained teeth, the transformation can be particularly striking. Consistency also plays a key role in determining the results of teeth whitening. Those who undergo regular treatments, either professional or home-based, are likely to experience more pronounced changes. Conversely, individuals who undergo whitening procedures on a less frequent basis, usually every 6-12 months, can expect more modest results, as this frequency is considered more of a maintenance approach.Ultimately, the effectiveness of teeth whitening hinges on various factors, including the initial level of discoloration, the regularity of whitening procedures, and the use of at-home treatments.
-
Should teeth whitening be done by a Dentist?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that falls outside the realm of traditional dental treatments. This non-dental approach focuses solely on the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, aiming to enhance their brightness and reduce discoloration. It typically involves the application of bleaching agents or other whitening products to achieve the desired results.
-
How long will the treatment last?
Teeth will maintain their fresh new appearance for a year or more. Re-staining largely depends on diet and lifestyle.
-
Is teeth whitening safe?
Teeth whitening is safe to have done by a professional technician up to 3-4 times per year.
-
Is teeth whitening for everyone?
It is essential to note that teeth whitening treatments are not recommended for children under 16 years of age. Additionally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should refrain from undergoing teeth whitening procedures. Furthermore, individuals with gum disease or those who require dental work should avoid having teeth whitening treatments until their oral health has been addressed and stabilized. These precautions are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals who may be more susceptible to potential adverse effects from teeth whitening products.
-
Will I experience sensitivity or pain?
At Glamorous Goddess, we understand that some clients may experience pain and sensitivity during and after teeth whitening treatments. It's important to note that these side effects are normal and temporary, typically subsiding within a few days. We recommend using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth and avoiding very hot or cold foods and beverages during this time. If the symptoms persist or worsen, we advise clients to consult their dentist for further guidance.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have Crown/Veneers/Bridge/Fillings
When it comes to dental work such as crowns, veneers, and fillings, it's important to note that they will not whiten beyond the shade they were initially made. However, stains from food, drinks, and smoking can be lifted, returning them to their original shade and resulting in a whitening effect.At Glamorous Goddess, we offer two options to enhance your smile. We can ensure that your natural teeth do not overtake the color of your dental work. Alternatively, we can whiten your teeth as much as possible and you can consider having your dental work replaced to match your new white smile.It's crucial to discuss these options with your dentist to determine the best course of action for achieving your desired results
