It’s Saturday morning and I’ve set an early alarm to head into town. I’m here to have my teeth whitened at the newly launched Sonisk Smile. I’m early, so whilst I wait, I pick up an outfit for dinner later. Having my teeth whitened in a shopping centre is nothing if it’s not convenient. Sonisk’s Westfield outpost has the sparkly clean feel of a traditional dentist, but with plush furnishings and no scary chair. I get comfortable in my ‘pod’, in front of a big round mirror. One of Sonisk’s professional dentists explains that the procedure is extremely safe and the unique formula not only whitens your teeth, but also helps you achieve better oral health. The treatment was pioneered by Professor Dr Edward Lynch who is listed in the World’s Top 100 Doctors in Dentistry. Once a mouth guard has been inserted, the dentist dries my teeth. She then paints on a whitening gel, to achieve an even coating. Finally, the gel is ‘activated’ with a blue LED light. After 20 minutes, I’m done and my teeth are already at least one shade lighter. I’m given a kit to take home and advised to continue the treatment for the next seven days (twice a day for half an hour). Over the course of the week, I do experience a little soreness in my gums, but no sensitivity in my teeth. However, I’m pleased to see my teeth have definitely lightened by a few more shades. Overall, a reasonably priced treatment that delivers results too. reasonably priced.
