A trained Authorized Dealer or their employee will assist you. They are not dentists or dental personnel. This is not a dental procedure; it is a cosmetic procedure. They will not be performing any invasive actions. They don’t insert their fingers, instruments, or anything in a customer’s mouth. They guide you through a self-administered procedure that you perform on yourself.
No. Teeth whiteners are not classified as drugs, therefore the FDA does not regulate them directly. In the USA, however, they do regulate the gel manufacturer. Therefore, it’s of high importance to use USA-made gels. All of our whitening gels are manufactured in the USA
Most of our customers experience no pain or sensitivity after the treatment. A very small percentage of people may feel a minor ache in the first ten to twelve hours following the procedure. Taking an over the counter pain medication can help resolve this discomfort. Avoid cold or hot drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any tooth sensitivity. The use of a Sensodyne™-type toothpaste can often immediately eliminate any minor sensitivity issues.

Yes, scientific studies have shown that using Peroxide to whiten teeth is both very effective and very safe. The dental industry has used it in teeth whitening for over twenty years. It does not change or damage the structure of teeth; it merely makes teeth whiter and brighter. In fact, peroxide compounds have been safely used in various cosmetic procedures for many years. There is a significant amount of clinical data particularly in strong support of a neutral pH, peroxide-based system.
This varies from person to person and depends on your diet, but the effects should usually last for a year or more.

Tests show that, after our treatment, teeth score from 2 -8 shades lighter on the teeth shade scale and are visibly whiter. Individual results will depend on how discolored the teeth were originally, however the end result will be whiter, shinier teeth.
This treatment delivers exceptional results to people whose teeth have been stained by smoking or by substances like coffee, tea, or cola drinks. However pregnant women, children under the age of 15, and customers with periodontal disease are discouraged from undergoing this procedure. Smile Labs Iowa is NOT a dental practice or office. We do not give medical advice. If you are unsure if you are a candidate for teeth whitening, please consult your dentist prior to booking an appointment.
