FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How does The Smile Bar whiten teeth?
If an updated hairstyle, a nice new pair of shoes, or the perfect shirt can easily make you look and feel great, then just imagine the boost that a whiter, brighter smile can give you!
You’ll be more confident, so you’ll smile more; as you do, you’ll find that you are (or are becoming) happier, as well.
What’s in the gel that makes teeth whiter?
The active ingredient in The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening gel is hydrogen peroxide.
Isn’t hydrogen peroxide harsh on teeth?
The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening gel uses only a low concentration of peroxide. This level of concentration does not harm the teeth.
When activated by the LED Plasma Light, it safely removes organic stains to make your teeth 2 to 9 shades lighter.
How many shades lighter can my teeth get?
Your teeth can get anywhere between 2 to 9 shades whiter in just one visit! The average is 5 shades whiter after one treatment.
The results depend on the type and degree of discoloration, as well as on the number of direct whitening sessions you avail of. One of our specialists will assess your current teeth shade and advise you of the results you can expect to see.
Will The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening work for my teeth?
Tooth discoloration is caused by many things, most of which are rooted in your lifestyle: the consumption of color-pigmented food and beverages (such as tea, coffee, red wine, and soda), tar and nicotine from smoking tobacco products, medication, and poor oral hygiene.
If any or all of the above-mentioned items apply to you, then The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening system will definitely work for you!
What makes The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening treatment different from home teeth whitening kits?
A wide array of home teeth whitening kits are available in the market today, with varying price points, chemical solutions, and application methods, but results are hardly guaranteed.
While DIY isn’t bad, some things are better left at the hands of experts who know what they’re doing. Drop by The Smile Bar and let our specialists help you get a whiter, brighter smile.
Is your teeth whitening safe?
Absolutely! The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening system isn’t just effective — it’s also 100% safe.
All our products are manufactured and imported from Europe, and they have been thoroughly tested and thus proven to be safe for teeth and gums.
Is the light technology effective?
Used to activate the whitening gel, the LED Plasma Light technology produces better results in a shorter period of time compared to other teeth whitening methods.
In addition, because this technology is non-abrasive, it’s 100% safe! It does not cause the thinning of your teeth’s enamel, which could lead to sensitivity.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
As a non-invasive cosmetic treatment, The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening system rarely produces any side effects. A slight tingle may be felt within the first 24 hours after a session; this is perfectly natural and will disappear quickly on its own.
Is there anyone who can’t or shouldn’t get teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and people wearing dental braces.
Children and teenagers under the age of 16 years old may have teeth whitening only with parental consent.
Will everyone really get whiter teeth at The Smile Bar?
Only 15% of the global population have difficulty getting whiter teeth, and that’s usually brought about by genetic reasons.
As The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening treatment is particularly effective in removing tooth discoloration associated with lifestyle choices, it’s extremely rare to not get any result.
Which teeth shades are easier to whiten?
Yellow teeth are easier to whiten compared to gray teeth.
The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening system can bring back your teeth’s whiteness prior to organic discoloration caused by your lifestyle choices, particularly your diet and your oral hygiene. The natural color of the enamel, which is determined by genetics, is the lightest shade you can achieve.
Will teeth whitening make my crowns, bridges, and veneers whiter?
The Smile Bar’s teeth whitening technology works best on natural teeth, but it can also help bring back the original color of crowns, bridges, and veneers.

After treatment, how long do I have to wait before drinking, eating, or smoking?
For 72 hours after treatment, your teeth will be vulnerable to new discoloration. Our customers are advised to avoid the following:
(a) strongly-colored drinks such as red wine, coffee, tea, and soda,
(b) chocolates and food with artificial coloring,
(c) acidic food such as tomatoes, vinegar, soy, citrus, and chili sauce, and
(d) smoking.
A fluoride rinse twice a day can help fill the microscopic spots left by the stain removal.
But if you don’t want to worry about these restrictions, The Smile Bar offers After Care as an add-on to your treatment. This treatment allows you to eat or drink anything one hour after your treatment without the risk of new discoloration.
What is After Care? What’s it for?
After Care is a liquid solution applied on your teeth immediately after your direct whitening procedure. It reinforces the enamel and seals the whiteness of your teeth, cutting the 72-hour restriction on eating, drinking, and smoking to just 1 hour.
The solution is applied using a small brush, and adds only a minute to your total treatment time.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Tooth discoloration is largely caused by one’s lifestyle choices, so the length of time you’ll get to enjoy the results of your teeth whitening session at The Smile Bar depends on you. If you practice good oral hygiene, cut back on pigmented food and beverages, and not smoke, you can maintain whiter teeth up to 6 months after the treatment.
For best results, monthly direct whitening sessions are recommended. For maintenance, The Smile Bar offers exclusive products for use post-treatment.
How do I maintain my whiter teeth after treatment?
Keep your new smile whiter longer with the two-step Whitening Oral Care Regime.
Start with Our Whitening Mouthrinse. Vigorously swish 2 cupfuls of rinse around your mouth for 1 minute and then spit it out.
Brush with our Whitening Toothpaste. Apply a pea-sized amount on a toothbrush and brush your teeth as you normally do.
These products dissolve surface stains to help prevent or minimize discoloration. They do not contain harmful abrasives, hydrogen peroxide, or other oxidizing substances, and are safe for daily use.
Why should I use the mouthrinse first?
Our Whitening Mouthrinse help loosens surface stains on your teeth, making it easier for you to brush them off.
Where can I buy your oral care products?
Our Oral Care products are exclusively available at The Smile Bar.
What’s the difference between the red and blue toothpaste?
Our Original Toothpaste (blue) is the original whitening toothpaste that dissolves surface stains to help prevent or minimize new discoloration without causing abrasions on the teeth’s enamel. In addition, it protects you from cavities, plaque, sensitivity, and even bad breath. This product is intended for daily use.
Our Intensive Toothpaste (red), on the other hand, is an intensive care toothpaste for when you need that extra whitening boost. It has a more potent formula as well as additional whitening ingredients that can remove all surface stains in just two weeks.
