What makes QuickPro different from restorative treatment?

The system is a professional whitening product, not a filling, veneer, or permanent change to tooth structure. It is intended for natural teeth, while crowns, fillings, and veneers do not lighten in the same way.

What happens before and during a QuickPro appointment?

A clinician first checks for decay, cracked enamel, gum inflammation, exposed roots, and restorations. After cleaning and isolating the soft tissues, the gel is placed as directed and removed before the teeth are assessed.

When should QuickPro symptoms be reviewed by a dentist?

Seek an examination before whitening if a tooth hurts, the gums bleed, or a dark area may be decay. Contact the clinic if marked sensitivity, gum irritation, or uneven colour continues after treatment.

What should you ask about QuickPro and existing restorations?

Ask whether the discolouration is external stain, internal tooth colour, decay, or a restoration. Ask which gel concentration and isolation method will be used and how existing restorations will be handled.

Frequently asked questions

Will it whiten a crown?

No. A crown is a restoration, so its ceramic or resin colour does not change like natural tooth tissue.

Why can teeth feel sensitive?

Peroxide can temporarily affect fluid movement within dentinal tubules, which may produce a brief sensitivity response.
