hi,

do any of you do teeth whitening?
could you create a demand? is it a good earner?
have you heard of smilequest? if so what are your thoughts?

cheers

We do offer it at the shop but don't get much interest tbh.

I would like to know if anyone also offers teeth whitening mobile?

I would like to know if someone has a history of gum disease and bridge work can they have teeth whitening performed and if so which one ?

I am doing theeth whitening onmyself only at home.

I was checked by my dentist before going at it. It is very importent that you DO NOT have any gum problems... it is pretty hard on the gums, and you have to be very carefull not to get the gel on the gums. Thats why I was checked first. I am taking a brake from it because my gums need a rest. They are a bit swallen and sore around one tooth and that was on healthy gums!

You cannot bleach crowns bridge work (plastic and porclein) and you cannot bleach theth that have been discolored in the nerve (color that comes from inside the tooth!)

I am not really that impressed. It does not hurt as much as some claims, but it doesn't give that great a result either. If you want the REALLY white theet you have to bleach like theres no tomorrow.... and I really do need my teeth in the morning!

So IMO basically, not worth the money or hazle!

cheers hun

We used to offer it in the Salon I worked at. Hardly had an interest in it, to be honest.

your welcome loubylou

No thanks.
If your anything to do with Sunquest your support will be rubbish, your engineers always busy and equipment always breaking down with no out of your office hours contact number

Thanks for the other replies everyone.

Sorry for my late responce in the thread, my email must have filtered out my subscription/email notification.

Judy -
thanks for the messege, the site doesn't let me use the pager... but business is going really good.
maybe opeing another, still waiting for a landlord to let us have his shop (he wants it as a cafe but got turned down planning but he's appealing... if it fails we will have the premises)
hope you are well too?

I had 3 ten minute whitening sessions done at the beauty show in Edinburgh with Smilequest and it made no difference to the colour of my teeth whatsoever. Biggest waste of £99 in my opinion. I feel like I was robbed!

We had someone come round to the salon to demo a lazer system, I can not remember who it was off the top of my head (it wasn't smile quest) but they did my GF's teeth and we didn't see a noticable differance.

We were looking for something that give that hollywood white... really bright white.
We have a customer who is a dental nurse who has hers done at the dentist she works at, they come out really white so tere must be something differant between the methods used.

Yeah thats what I was after - not bling bling glow in the dark white teeth (jodie Marsh/ross from friends comes to mind) but I did expect a much whiter smile. My teeth are not terrible and I do look after them but I think its nice to have a lovely smile and I wanted mine whiter. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case you come up with any recommendations!

I wasn't made aware when signing up for the treatment that my teeth 'might not shift' and had I known this I would not have had the treatment in the first place. It was sold as a special offer - 3 laser treatments for £99 which would usually cost upwards of £600 elsewhere but with the same level of whitening that you would expect from the dentist. The therapist who performed the treatment fiddled around with the colour wheel and tried to say my teeth were whiter but there was absolutely no change other than my stinging white gums! My friends and family couldn't see any difference either and for me it was the biggest waste of £99.

I am in no doubt that the treatment probably does achieve results for some people but personally my experience left me disappointed and out of pocket.

Sorry JOM for hijacking your thread!

I simply can't sell a product to someone when the results vary so greatly. I have been there with other machines in my salon (which I dont have now) but I hear what your saying and yes this is throughout the industry - but I dont enjoy the customer service side when someone hasnt achieved the results they were hoping for. It always ends up that they want their money back - or will refuse to pay or put in a small claims.

I love the sound of teeth whitening and would love it done myself. But I probably wouldnt want to provide the service myself. Thanks for the info.
