FAQs
Q. Is it for everyone?
A. In fact the first impressions system gives magical results to anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. This includes people with teeth that have been stained by smoking or by substances like coffee or teas. It also whitens teeth stained by tetracycline, speckled by flouride or hereditary discolouration. Pregnant women or clients under 16 years of age should not receive the whitening treatment.
Q. How white could my teeth get?
A. Tests show that, after whitening with the first impressions system, teeth shades can move 5 to 14 shades on the whitening shade guide. The results depend on how discoloured the teeth were originally, but the end result will be white, shiny teeth.
Q. How long will the whitening last?
A. This varies from person to person and depends on your diet, but the effects should usually last for about two years. Periodic touch-up treatments can be taken for clients that frequently have coffee or other staining food and drinks or those that use tobacco products.
Q. Is it safe?
A. Yes. Scientific articles have shown that the active ingredients in the whitening gel are effective and safe for cosmetic tooth whitening. The dental community has used these ingredients for tooth whitening for years. It does not change or damage the structure of teeth; it merely makes them appear whiter and brighter.
Q. How long does the treatment take?
A. In only 1 hour discolouration that has built up over the years will magically disappear. It takes no longer than the time it would for you to have a haircut or a facial - it's that simple!
Q. What's the difference between the first impression system and other methods of whitening?
A. The first impressions system is Power Whitening and is not comparable to other methods of whitening. This technique whitens your teeth right away and has no side effects. The results are far better that over-the-counter home whitening products.
Q. I have some artificial teeth, can I still have the treatment?
A. Absolutely, but artificial teeth will not lighten beyond when they were first put in.
Q. Will it hurt?
A. Most clients experience no pain or sensitivity after the treatment. A very small percentage of patients may feel some minor tooth sensitivity, especially if having very cold or hot foods or drinks within a few hours following the treatment. Avoid cold or hot drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any tooth sensitivity.
