Teeth Whitening FAQ
How should I prep for a teeth whitening session?
It is recommended that you have a teeth cleaning within 6 months to experience the best results. Please wait at least 48 hours after your cleaning to do a whitening session.
How does the whitening session work?
The SunnaSmile gel absorbs the LED light energy, which photo-chemically "excites" the peroxide molecules into breaking down faster. It provides "activating energy" that speeds up and improves the performance of whitening. The SunnaSmile removes years of built-up stains and discoloration in just 20 minutes.
How long is a whitening session?
Your session will last 20 minutes, but plan to be at our studio for a total of 40 minutes to include prep & paperwork.
Can teeth whitening be used on Veneers, Caps, or Crowns?
Yes! SunnaSmile is enamel safe and pH Neutral. It is designed to remove stains, restoring veneers/caps to their original color.
What does the gel taste like?
Fresh, minty and lightly sweet! SunnaSmile whitening gel will not make much contact with your tongue (it's okay if it does) so you likely won't notice a taste to the gel at all.
Is this safe for sensitive teeth?
Expect little to no sensitivity after using SunnaSmile; it was formulated with sensitive teeth in mind. It’s safe on enamel, protects gums, causes little to no sensitivity, and is a registered natural health product. A very small percentage of people will have minor discomfort in their mouth and this normally dissipates within 10 minutes.
What makes SunnaSmile different from other whitening treatments?
SunnaSmile is different from other whitening options in several ways: it’s safe on enamel, protects gums, causes little to no-sensitivity, is a registered natural health product and on top of all that, it’s more cost-effective. One SunnaSmile at-home whitening kit is the equivalent in whitening power to 50 tubes of whitening toothpaste, 25 dental whitening syringes and 5 packages of strips!
Can I get my teeth whitened if I have Gingivitis?
If you have gingivitis or any periodontal disease you should consult with your dentist prior to whitening.
Can I get my teeth whitened while pregnant?
We recommend that you contact your physician prior to using whitening while pregnant. However, no government issued restrictions currently exist.
