Q.

You very kindly answered my question regarding not receiving Enlighten product but said that the cost quoted was significantly less than Enlighten. Can you advise, whether all things considered the cost of £450 represents value for money. For this I have received to date/will receive:
Initial visit to dentist when impressions were taken
1/2 hour initial treatment at dentist (assume with stronger product)
10 syringes of 16% Polanight to be used for 14 nights
Further visit to dentist after 1 week with potential for further 1/2 hr treatment at this visit
Further visit to dentist after 2 weeks with further 1/2 hour treatment.
Polanight can be purchased on line for £70 for custom made mades and £30 for 10 syringes of 16%. Therefore being charged £350 for total of 4 visits and provision of stronger gel (prob 2 syringes worth). As I have never had private treatment before at a dentist I am not sure if this charge is reasonable?

Q.

I have been to my local dentist for teeth whitening and he recommended Enlighten. Cost £450. I have had the specially made trays made and I went back today to collect. They are very comfortable. However, the gel I have been provided is not Enlighten but Polanight at 16% strength. Am I being mis-sold? When I queried the product, my dentist advised that Enlighten is more about the well made trays (which I have) and the gel products are the same. I am starting my 2 weeks overnight treatment from tonight and the dentist has asked to see me in 7 days to assess progress. Any advice gratefully received.

Q.

I would like to have my teeth whitened proffesionally and was wondering if the procedure is safe on gums … I have “pockets” .

Q.

I have been using the enlighten home kit given by my dentist to wear for 3 hours a night (my teeth are too sensitive to do overnight). Some of the gel got onto the gum and before I could get it whiped off it’s made the gum white. What can I do/use the help the gum heal quickly.

Q.
Both my children were give fluoride tablets when young. They are now in their twenties and their teeth are very yellow. Would cosmetic teeth whitening work for them?,

Q.
I have severe tetracycline staining and was looking at the enlighten teeth whitening procedure. Obviously would like to achieve really good results, but how realistic is this ..I have been shown the shades of what could be achieved of “before and after”. How do i know that this could work on my teeth because of the staining. ? Is the staining surface or through the tooth as every tooth is stained. Look forward to receiving your comments..,

Q.
Can the enlighhten deep bleaching be used on teeth stained by tetracycline staining if I have some crowns and some of my own teeth thank you,

Q.
Hi, I have had a similar problem with Enlighten Teeth Whitening. I completed the 2 week course and only half of my teeth whitened. Half nearest the gum did not. Then I went back to the dentsit to get the two 20 minute boosters. My teeth did look really white but now do not and the pain was really bad. Would I be ok to carry on whitening for another 2 weeks as I am worried about my enamel and if so do I need the two 20 minute gels applied again. Many Thanks in advance.,

Q.
Hello, I am planning on getting my teeth whitened. I live in Glasgow and there are many companies which offer the procedure however some seem too good to be true. For example a clinic called SmileQuest offer the procedure for £99. Please advise me if this is indeed too good to be true and if so tell me which method you consider to be the most reliable. Many thanks.
