4Your reviewWe compare your new shade with where you started, and share tips for keeping it bright.

Why custom trays

Easy top-ups Keep your trays, and top up with a little gel when you need to.
Gradual, controlled results You can stop once you reach the shade you want

Questions

Your questions, answered

Still wondering about something? Give us a call on 09 570 2823 or email reception@classicsdental.com, and we’ll get back to you.

Will my teeth feel sensitive?

Some sensitivity during treatment is common, and it settles afterwards. If your teeth are already sensitive, let us know.

Will my fillings and crowns change colour?

No, only natural teeth lighten. If you have work on your front teeth, it may need replacing afterwards to match.

How long does it take?

Most people see a clear difference within a couple of weeks of daily wear. We’ll tell you how long to wear the trays each day.

Can I use the trays again later?

Yes. Look after your trays and you can use them for top-ups with fresh gel.
