How much does the treatment cost?
We are always running special promotions so click here for prices.
What is the difference between laser and trays?
The laser system is a fast and efficient way of whitening the teeth that simply takes one hour. The trays system requires you to sleep with the trays on your teeth for 14 consecutive nights. This requires dedication and discipline and increases the chances of sensitivity in your teeth.
Is it the same as Zoom?
Zoom is a brand of teeth whitening that is similar to our system but like many well known brands you can end up paying a premium for the brand name!
Does it hurt?
 
In most cases customers feel no discomfort during, or after, the treatment. Very occasionally some customers can experience minor sensitivity.
What do I need to do after the laser treatment?
 
Take a look at our after diet page which tells you which foods and drinks you can and cannot consume after teeth whitening.
Can the treatment all be done in one session?
 
Yes. You will walk away from one our clinics with an amazing new smile after a single one hour session.
Does it hurt the enamel?
 
There is no research to prove any damage is done to the enamel. Capital teeth whitening only source the best quality of whitening gels which are pre-approved assuring top quality every time.
How long does the treatment last?
 
You will enjoy your new smile for between 18-24 months on average. However, if you are careful about what and drink and avoid smoking the benefits can last longer.
Does Laser teeth whitening work on veneers, crowns, bridges and fillings?
 
Laser teeth whitening will remove any surface staining that might sit on the outer surface of veneers, crowns, bridges and fillings but unlike natural teeth that are porous the process will not remove the deeper compacted staining.
Why is Capital much cheaper than my dentist?
 
There are three reasons Capital is cheaper than a local dentist.
1. We do not have the larger overheads of a local dentist and therefore pass those savings on to our customers.
2. We purchase large quantities of teeth whitening products and therefore can drive down the prices from the suppliers
3. A dentist cannot afford to take two hours from his everyday dental work and charge the type of prices that Capital charge.
How many shades will my teeth whiten?
 
This ranges from one individual to another but we have never failed to whiten anyone’s teeth by less than four shades with many customers achieving ten to twelve shades.
How does it work?
 
By painting the teeth whitening gel on the teeth the laser oxidises the gel, opens the pours of the enamel which then releases the staining. This cycle is repeated until the staining is removed from the enamel. 
How long does a treatment take from pre-consultation to post consultation?
 
From pre-consultation to post consultation the whole process takes around one hour and forty minutes.
