FAQs
Looking for a whiter smile?
Here at PureSmile, we are teeth-whitening specialists with a difference. We have the know-how to make teeth whiter using 100% safe and long-lasting treatment.
Here is how the process works:
- One of our professionally trained technicians will assess your initial shade.
- Our activation spray is applied to your teeth with a sponge brush. This pretreatment will prepare your teeth for the whitening gel activation.
- Your mouth tray will be filled with our custom–formulated gel. All our technicians undergo extensive training so the gel is placed in your tray correctly for maximum results.
- Now, you sit back and relax with your protection glasses, and then we apply our dental–grade LED light to activate the whitening process.
- Every 15 minutes, we repeat this process to get multiple activations of the gel with the LED and achieve the best results possible
Is teeth whitening safe?
Absolutely! Our products are PEROXIDE-FREE and have ZERO side effects. They are custom-made and registered with the Food and Drug Administration in the USA and fully compliant with EU standards.
How many shades whiter can my teeth be?
It depends entirely on the person’s physiology. Our customers regularly achieve results of up to 11 shades whiter, with the average improvement being 6-8 shades. We use cosmetic whitening products to get your teeth to their best colour.
How long will my results last?
Most people like to touch up their whitening every 6-9 months. However, it depends on the amount of stains you have on your enamel, as well as your eating and drinking habits. Your brighter smile or whitening results will last longer if you steer clear of coffee, tea and smoking. You might as well use an enamel booster to retain the teeth-whitening results even better. For more questions, call us before the treatment.
Is there anyone the treatment is not suitable for?
Our in-chair teeth whitening procedure is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under the age of 14.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
We have various packages to suit your budget and your needs. Our essential package starts at just $179, while our top package is $249. All will give you great, long-lasting results. We also offer a 10% discount on all online bookings. >See all our packages here<
How long is the teeth whitening process?
Each treatment may take from 45 to 60 minutes. Our basic package takes 45 minutes per session, and our platinum package takes 60 minutes.
Does treatment fix tetracycline stains?
Our treatment can be effective on stains caused by the antibiotic tetracycline. It will be more effective if the stains are not too deep within the teeth. Tetracycline stains are often one of the more difficult stains to remove, but our team of professionals will be able to assist and advise you on the best way to treat your tetracycline stains.
Does treatment fix stains from smoking?
Yes. Although stains from smoking can often be slightly more difficult to remove, our treatment is effective for them. Our team will advise you on the best way to treat surface stains caused by years of smoking.
How quickly will the results occur?
Your teeth will be whiter within one hour of treatment, so if you have an important meeting or function and have left it to the last minute, our treatment is perfect for you.
Are there any side effects?
No. There are no side effects when getting your teeth whitened at PureSmile, as our products are all 100% safe. What you can expect is a brighter smile for 6-9 months.
How can I retain my results?
To keep your teeth whiter and healthier for longer after our treatment, we advise you to clean your teeth twice daily, floss often and drink plenty of water. Also, we recommend avoiding coffee, black tea, red wine and smoking.
Are products cruelty-free?
All our products & services are cruelty–free.
Our teeth whitening products are not tested on animals.
Our manufacturers do not test on animals (ingredients and finished products).
Our products are not sold in markets requiring animal testing by local law and regulations (Mainland China, Brazil, etc).
What is the difference between Cosmetic Teeth Whitening and a Dentist Teeth Whitening treatment?
The difference between the cosmetic and the dentist range is the strength of the active ingredient Hydrogen Peroxide (HP). The Signature Treatment uses 6% HP, which is the maximum legal strength for over-the-counter cosmetic teeth whitening products in Australia.
Dentists are not restricted on the concentration of HP in the teeth whitening products they use. PureSmile Dentist Teeth Whitening uses 16%, 25% (equivalent to Phillips Zoom) or 38% HP gel, which is one of the strongest teeth whitening gels in the industry. Based on the client’s tooth sensitivity during the consultation, the dentist will determine which gel is the best fit for them.
You can expect excellent results with cosmetic teeth whitening treatment and a more bleached look with the dentist range. The dentist range is also recommended for teeth with a very high level of staining.
Do I need to get a dental clean before my teeth whitening treatment?
Australian Dental Association (ADA) recommends professional dental cleaning every six months. We strongly recommend a dental clean prior to any teeth whitening if you are due for one. This will help you achieve a better and longer–lasting result.
How do I know I am choosing the right treatment?
Nothing to worry about! At consultation, our technician will recommend the best possible option for you, and you may change the treatment package at the time of your appointment.
Is teeth whitening suitable for people with sensitive teeth?
Teeth whitening can be suitable for people with sensitive teeth, but extra precautions may be necessary. At PureSmile, we use a gentle, peroxide-free formula that minimises sensitivity. We recommend a consultation before the teeth whitening procedure to assess your individual needs and may suggest using a desensitising toothpaste before and after the procedure. We might also recommend a milder treatment or shorter sessions to ensure patient comfort.
Is there a limit to how often I can have my teeth whitened?
While teeth whitening is generally safe, it’s possible to overdo it. We recommend professional teeth whitening treatments no more than once or twice a year, with touch-ups as needed. Excessive whitening can lead to increased sensitivity and potential damage to tooth enamel. The frequency of treatments should be based on individual needs, lifestyle factors, and the advice of a dental professional. Between treatments, maintaining good oral hygiene & using whitening toothpaste can help prolong results.
Is teeth whitening covered by health insurance?
Generally, teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by most health insurance plans. Dental insurance typically doesn’t cover cosmetic treatments either. However, there are some exceptions. If your tooth discolouration is due to a medical condition or injury, some insurance plans might provide partial coverage. Also, some private health insurance plans with comprehensive extras policies may cover teeth whitening, or dental discount plans may offer reduced rates for teeth whitening services.
Can you get teeth whitening if you have fillings?
Absolutely! You can get teeth whitening if you have fillings, but whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel. Fillings, crowns, veneers, and other dental work will not change colour. You might need to replace existing dental work to match your newly whitened teeth. Consult with your dentist to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
Does teeth whitening help gum disease?
Teeth whitening does not directly help with gum disease. If you have active gum disease, it’s best to treat this condition before undergoing any whitening procedures. Whitening treatments can potentially irritate already inflamed gums and exacerbate gum disease symptoms. Your dentist will likely recommend addressing gum disease through proper oral hygiene, professional cleanings, and possibly periodontal treatments before considering teeth whitening.
Can I combine teeth whitening with other dental procedures?
Combining tooth whitening with other dental procedures is possible, but the timing and order of treatments are important. Generally, it’s recommended to complete any restorative work, such as fillings or crowns, before whitening to ensure colour matching. For cosmetic procedures like veneers, whitening is often done first so that the veneers can be matched to your newly whitened teeth. Talk to your dentist to create a treatment plan that addresses all your dental needs in the most effective order.
What to do before teeth whitening?
Before a teeth whitening treatment, it’s advisable to have a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, address any existing dental issues like cavities or gum disease and brush and floss thoroughly. You should also avoid consuming staining foods and drinks for 24-48 hours before treatment.
Can I brush my teeth after whitening?
It’s generally recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after a whitening treatment before brushing your teeth. This allows time for your enamel to remineralize and for the pores in your teeth to close. When you brush, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water to minimise sensitivity. Also, avoid using toothpaste for the first brushing after whitening, as some ingredients may be too abrasive for your newly whitened teeth.
How does PureSmile ensure consistent results across different clinics?
PureSmile maintains consistent results across clinics through standardised training, equipment, and products. All our technicians undergo rigorous training in our whitening procedures and techniques. We use the same high-quality, proprietary whitening formulas and advanced equipment in all our locations. Plus, we have strict quality control measures and regular audits to ensure all clinics adhere to our established protocols. With this comprehensive approach, we deliver reliable, high-quality results regardless of which PureSmile clinic a customer visits.
