Frequently asked questions

The SunnaSmile gel absorbs the LED light energy, which photo-chemically "excites" the peroxide molecules into breaking down faster. It provides "activating energy" that speeds up and improves the performance of whitening.

The SunnaSmile LED light activates the professional whitening gel upon contact to provide visible results in just 20 minutes. Stick with it for 5 days and you can take your teeth up to 8 shades whiter.

The SunnaSmile in-studio treatment formula is slightly more potent than the at-home kit, removing years of built up stains and discoloration in just 15-20 minutes.

Our SunnaSmile At-Home Whitening Kits can be kept for up to 24 months!

In-Studio session is a total of 30-40 minutes of which just 15-20 minutes is spent behind the light – and 10-20 minutes per day with the At-Home kit.

Results will vary depending on a number of factors – age, original tooth color, oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. The best way to ensure lasting results is to practice good oral hygiene (having your teeth professionally cleaned regularly, brushing and flossing) and avoid staining habits (such as smoking) and foods/drinks that are dark in color and high in acidity such as coffee, red wine, berries, tomato sauce, etc. If these are some of your favorite things, we recommend more frequent In-Studio treatments or the SunnaSmile Advanced Home Kit to conveniently maintain ongoing stain removal.

Expect little to no sensitivity after using SunnaSmile; it was formulated with sensitive teeth in mind. It’s safe on enamel, protects gums, causes little to no sensitivity, and is a registered natural health product in Canada. A very small percentage of people will have minor discomfort in their mouth and this normally dissipates within 10 minutes.

Yes! Additional treatments may be booked as close together as 24 hours – this is only encouraged as long as you are not experiencing any sensitivity.

Fresh, minty and lightly sweet! SunnaSmile whitening gel will not make much contact with your tongue (it's ok if it does) so you likely won't notice a taste to the gel at all until the tray is removed.

SunnaSmile is different from other whitening options in several ways: it’s safe on enamel, protects gums, causes little to no-sensitivity, it’s a registered natural health product in Canada and on top of all that, it’s more cost-effective. One SunnaSmile at-home whitening kit is the equivalent in whitening power to 50 tubes of whitening toothpaste, 25 dental whitening syringes and 5 packages of strips!

Although there are no known risks, we do not currently offer the in-studio treatment if you are pregnant or nursing. We recommend you contact your physician if you plan to do any at- home whitening treatments.

The minimum age is 18.

If you have gingivitis or any periodontal disease you should consult with your dentist prior to whitening.

If possible, yes! And if you had not had a cleaning in the last 6 months, we highly recommend it for best results.

SunnaSmile is safe for crowns, caps and veneers, and stains will be removed during whitening, returning to their original color.

No “Two Teeth are alike” due to body chemistry, genetics, dental health and mineral balances. Tetracycline stains cannot be removed and dark gray shaded teeth will only brighten vs whiten regardless of what whitening treatment you try. Overall, 99% of our clients experience success!

No prep is needed for the procedure. Feel free to bring some headphones to relax with your favorite music while having your teeth whitening done.
