| - I'll admit, I wasn't sure of what to think, since this service was offered as a promo for Houseseats, but now that I've had a chance to go, I'm definitely not a skeptic anymore.
I showed up and we began with paperwork and a consultation to determine the before shade of my teeth, as well as possible after shades (should I decide to do all of the treatments. With the Houseseats promotion, you get the first two 15 minute treatments for free, but can opt to upgrade for the third 15 minute treatment for $20.
Basically, the products are De Vinci, organic (plant/mineral based), containing 16% hydrogen peroxide (safe for women who are pregnant/nursing). This gel is applied to your teeth by Tamar for each session, with time between the sessions to rinse and spit out the product before reapplication. Then, you are led to the area with the lamps (situated by a reclining chair) are high-quality LED lamps.
Supposedly the results last up to three years, and honestly, the results are dependent on how porous your teeth are--if more or less substances seep through. I was lucky enough to have porous teeth, so that the whitening, I saw a remarkable difference. The catch is that I did upgrade to the third session, paid the $20, and she had marked me for a -1, meaning that I had gone up a few shades in my whitening teeth.
Basically, I threw whatever questions I had at Tamar and she was able to answer each and every one with a precise and distinct answer. She was very professional and conducted each session (I was in with two other girls that were staggered appointments within the 3 sessions that I had paid for, since there are 2 chairs and LED lamps).
She also offered a whitening pen for $50 (not the same strength/concentration as the De Vinci treatment that I had just paid for, but a De Vinci whitening pen that could be used on spots, immediately after eating or drinking items that could stain my teeth), but I chose not to buy the item.
All in all, a good experience for me. I did, however, notice a slight discomfort in my teeth from the whitening procedure, but it went away overnight. I'm guessing that this is NOT a procedure for people with overly sensitive teeth...
For me, though, it was worth it. I was able to go up quite a few shades and the effects are still visible. I plan to return again in the future, should I decide to whiten my teeth.
