Here are the questions Lori hears most. If yours isn’t here, send her a message.
How long do whitening results last?
With proper care, your brighter smile can last about 4–6 months. It varies with your habits, diet and lifestyle. Periodic touch-up appointments help keep your smile looking its best. Think of it as a little ongoing investment in your smile.
How long is an appointment?
The Initial Whitening Treatment takes about 1.5–2 hours. That leaves plenty of time for a personalized consultation, preparation and the whitening itself. The Maintenance Express Session (Mini Express) takes about 1–1.5 hours.
How white will my teeth get?
Every smile has its own whitening potential. Some teeth brighten a lot in one appointment, and others lighten more gradually over a few visits. Once your teeth reach their natural “stop point”, more whitening won’t make them any lighter. Lori will look at your starting shade and talk you through what’s realistic for you.
Will it hurt? What about sensitivity?
Most clients are comfortable and simply relax. Some feel temporary sensitivity, so Lori uses professional desensitizers to keep it to a minimum. If your teeth tend to be sensitive, the Maintenance Express Session is a shorter, more conservative option. Mention it when you book.
Who does the treatment?
Every treatment is done by Lori Reid, a Registered Dental Hygienist in Ontario since 1994. Pro Glow is her own business, so you’ll see her at every visit.
Is professional whitening right for me?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. Lori may suggest waiting if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have untreated cavities or gum problems, or for anyone under 16. Whitening works on natural teeth only, so crowns, veneers and fillings won’t change colour. If you’re unsure, ask Lori before you book.
What should I avoid after whitening?
For at least 24 hours (48 is even better), skip coffee, tea, red wine, cola, berries, tomato sauce and anything else that would stain a white shirt. Our blog post on the white diet has ideas for what to eat instead.
How much does it cost?
The Initial Treatment is $290 for one person or $480 for two. A Touch Up is $250, the Maintenance Express Session is $199, and Opalescence™ Boost™ is $450. See all services and prices.
