Book Now!

At Lashes On Point, we offer safe and effective cosmetic teeth whitening services designed to brighten your smile by several shades in just one session. Below, you’ll find answers to our most commonly asked questions to help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

⏱️ How Long Does Teeth Whitening Take?

A standard session takes less than one hour.

  • Triple Action Treatment: Includes a consultation, treatment, and aftercare — allow up to 1.5 hours.

  • Double Action Treatment: This follow-up session is 1 hour long.

✨ What Results Can I Expect?

Results vary by individual, but most clients achieve a smile that’s 5 to 14 shades lighter. The more staining present, the more noticeable the results.

Keep in mind:

  • Whitening lifts surface stains, not the enamel itself.

  • Regular touch-ups every 6–12 months help maintain brightness.

  • Lifestyle habits and aftercare will influence how long results last.

🚫 Who Should Avoid Teeth Whitening?

You should not book a whitening session if:

  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding

  • You’re under 16 years of age

  • You have untreated dental issues

  • You’ve had recent lip fillers, tattoos, or piercings (wait at least 2 weeks)

  • You have a nut allergy (our products may contain traces)

  • You experience extreme tooth sensitivity (consult your dentist first)

💡 Which Whitening Treatment Should I Choose?

  • Triple Action Treatment: Ideal if you haven’t whitened your teeth in 3+ months or it's your first time.

  • Double Action Treatment: Best for maintenance if you've whitened your teeth within the last 2–3 months.

🪥 How Should I Prepare for My Appointment?

Before your session:

  • Brush your teeth gently about 1 hour before (avoid brushing too hard to prevent sensitivity).

  • Drink only water between brushing and your appointment.

  • Use a sensitive toothpaste (like Sensodyne) if you're prone to sensitivity.

  • Complete any outstanding dental work beforehand.

  • A pre-treatment phone consultation with Santhi will confirm your suitability.

🦷 What Happens During the Appointment?

  • You'll recline comfortably while wearing a cheek retractor to expose your teeth.

  • Protective eyewear and lip balm are provided.

  • The whitening gel is applied without any direct contact from the technician.

  • The process involves relaxing in 15-minute cycles, so bring headphones if you like!

  • Santhi will monitor you throughout the session.

💲 How Much Does Cosmetic Teeth Whitening Cost?

  • Triple Action Treatment: $299

  • Double Action Treatment: $199

🧑‍⚕️ Is Teeth Whitening Only Safe When Done by a Dentist?

No, cosmetic teeth whitening is non-dental and purely aesthetic.
At Lashes On Point, we use gentle, dentist-grade products that are:

  • Australian compliant

  • Safe for natural teeth, crowns, and veneers

  • Administered with a non-touch, hygienic process

✅ Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Absolutely. Our gel is one of the latest and safest whitening products available in Australia.

  • Safe for crowns and veneers (note: they won’t whiten as much as natural teeth)

  • Rarely causes discomfort or sensitivity when proper guidelines are followed

  • We prioritize safety, hygiene, and client comfort

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Is Teeth Whitening Suitable for Everyone?

Teeth whitening is a popular and safe option for most adults, but it’s not suitable for:

  • Children under 16

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Clients with gum disease or pending dental treatments

⏳ How Long Will the Results Last?

You can enjoy your brighter smile for up to 12 months.
To extend your results:

  • Avoid heavily staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries, etc.)

  • Maintain good oral hygiene

  • Schedule maintenance treatments every 6–12 months
