FAQs
How long does SmileLift Whitening effects last?
SmileLift whitening results have been observed to last for 6 months to a year depending on your whitening habits such as drinking coffee, tea or wine. We recommend scheduling one or two treatments per year to keep your teeth at the shade that you desire!
Do your products cause tooth sensitivity?
We've formulated our products with tooth sensitivity in mind! We created a reduced-sensitivity formula to ensure for a comfortable whitening experience! However, in the unlikely case that you do experience sensitivity, our Desensitizing Pen eliminates the discomfort associated with sensitivity!
What causes tooth sensitivity? Is it harmful?
Tooth sensitivity occurs when the tooth becomes partially dehydrated. This will trigger the nerves in your teeth, which is what is known as tooth sensitivity. Your teeth will naturally rehydrate themselves and tooth sensitivity will go away. No! Tooth sensitivity is not harmful and it is not permanent, however, it can be unpleasant! If you do feel any tooth sensitivity while using SmileLift Products, please pause your treatment and contact us for further instructions.
Should I brush my teeth before using?
We recommend to wait until after you whiten your teeth to brush them! The reason for this is that brushing can naturally cause gum irritation, as the bristles brush up against your gum tissue. When you apply a whitening product on top of your gums when they're already irritated, this can cause further discomfort. To make sure that you are as comfortable as possible, wait to brush your teeth once complete with your daily treatment!
What causes teeth to stain?
Tooth staining occurs naturally as you age! However, certain dietary habits can make your teeth appear more stained. This includes coffee, wine, tobacco, tea, soda, and any dark-pigmented foods such as berries. These types of staining can be easily removed by SmileLift Whitening Products.
Do I need a consultation?
If you have not seen a dentist for a cleaning in a log period of time and or have tartar build up, crowns, fillings, bondings or veneers on your front teeth. You will need a consultation to discuss if you are a candidate for the in office whitening treatment.
How often can I use this?
We recommend completing one full treatment consecutively. After completing your initial 2-week treatment, it is important to give your teeth some time to rest and rehydrate before completing another treatment. We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks before completing another teeth whitening session. Completing multiple treatments per year will keep your teeth at the bright, white shade that you desire!
Do these work on fillings, bondings, crowns and veneers?
SmileLift Whitening Products work best on your natural teeth. Those with partial bonding or fillings may experience some whitening effects, however, the results may not be as drastic as they will be on your natural teeth.
Can I whiten if I have plaque or tartar?
If your teeth have plaque or tartar build-up, it will be difficult to whiten the deep stains in your teeth. It is recommended to use a whitening toothpaste or have a dental professional remove the plaque and tartar before using our whitening kits or booking a whitening session.

What type of results can I expect?
We guarantee that your smile will become at least 4 - 6 shades whiter after completing one full whitening session of 60 to 90 minutes depending on your original shade. However, individual results will vary as everyone's teeth are different. It is best to complete a full whitening treatment to ensure long-lasting results!
Aftercare Instructions We do ask that you refrain from any dark staining foods or liquids for the first 48 hours after your treatment with us. If it is needed, please drink through a straw and immediately rinse your mouth with warm water. Results are permanent with little to no sensitivity. If sensitivity does occur it will subside within 24-48 hours. We recommend using a mouthwash for sensitive teeth during this time. Or Sensodyne toothpaste. Please use white tooth paste and refrain from using any charcoal whitening powders. (It could cause a gray effect on your newly whitened smile) please do not use any harsh abrasives on your teeth after your treatment. Please note that every person’s results are different. While you will see a significant change in 1 hour, some may need an additional treatment depending on the shade you started off with. It all depends on your lifestyle, habits, and your desired results you want to achieve. Smoking stains, dark liquid, and food stains are easiest to lift. If you are on prescription medications, results will vary. If you have any internal issues your results will vary as well. We strive to get everyone to their desired result. Your tech will discuss this with you at the time of your appointment. Together you will come up with a plan of treatment that will best suit the results you desire. Once your level of whiteness is achieved you can plan to enjoy your results for many months to come with the proper care.
