Is the Beyond WhiteSpa treatment for everyone? The Beyond WhiteSpa treatment provides dramatic results for anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. This includes people with teeth that have been stained by smoking or by substances such as coffee or tea. It also whitens teeth stained by tetracycline, speckled by fluoride, or hereditary discoloration. Pregnant women or clients under 16 years of age should not receive the Beyond WhiteSpa treatment. How white will my teeth get? After undergoing whitening with the Beyond WhiteSpa System, teeth shades can brighten between 5 to 14 shades on the Beyond WhiteSpa Whitening Shade Guide. Although individual results will depend on how discoloured the teeth were originally, the end result will be white, shiny teeth. How long will the whitening last? This varies from person to person and depends on your diet, but the effects should usually last for at least two years. 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. Is it safe? Yes, scientific research has shown that the active ingredients in the Beyond WhiteSpa Whitening Gel are effective and safe for cosmetic tooth whitening. The dental community has used these ingredients in performing teeth whitening for years. The Beyond WhiteSpa Whitening Gel does not change or damage the structure of teeth; it merely makes them appear whiter and brighter. How long does the treatment take? In only one hour, discoloration that has built up over the years will disappear. It takes no longer than the time it would for you to have a haircut or a facial - it is that simple! What is the difference between Beyond WhiteSpa and other methods of tooth whitening? Beyond WhiteSpa is a power-whitening treatment and is not comparable to other methods of tooth whitening. The Beyond WhiteSpa technique whitens your teeth immediately and has no side effects. The results are far better than over-the-counter home whitening products. Will it hurt? Most clients experience no pain or sensitivity during or after the treatment. A very small percentage of clients may feel some minor tooth sensitivity, especially if they consume very cold or hot foods or drinks within a few hours after the treatment. Therefore it is recommended that clients avoid cold or hot drinks for the first 24 hours following the treatment. What is the difference between Beyond WhiteSpa and tooth whitening performed in the dental office? The Beyond WhiteSpa System uses the same technology as is used in dental offices for power whitening, and the results are comparable. The procedure has been simplified such that trained aesthetic professionals can now safely perform the whitening procedure.
