We've come a long way from chewing sticks and barks ever since the first toothbrush was supposedly invented in a jail cell. Now, clean teeth alone is not enough. We need to have a smile so powerful, every grin happens in slow-mo. So dazzling, Donald Glover gets jealous. So impressive, the remaining one of 10 dentists will recommend it.
There has been more do-it-yourself teeth whitening products that save you the hassle of making a trip to the dentist recently, but the results range from highly temporal to non-existent. White30, which hails from Japan, effectively uses light technology and solvents to restore teeth to their original colour. The treatment requires an appointment, but its DIY process allows the session to take no more than half an hour.
The space
A compact reception area leads you into the room where the magic happens. Think of a very pared-down dental clinic, only with a much more comfortable recliner, and no dentist present to incite fear and judgement.
The process
After a regular brushing and a quick teeth tone check, you are given vaseline for your lips a cheek retractor to put the pearls on display. The staff will hand you gel to apply across your teeth and safety glasses before positioning the LED light accordingly. You won't feel anything except maybe mild boredom in the 10 minute wait. The last step is to simply brush without toothpaste, and you're done.
The verdict
Effects are visible immediately, but don't expect a huge jump in colour. That is only possible through bleaching, which is both painful and damaging to teeth and gums. As a healthier option that brings your teeth a shade closer to their natural colour each session, the procedure is consistent and affordable at SGD58 for the first time, and as low as SGD42+ each for 12 sessions. And now that White30 has opened at a more central location near City Hall, the convenience makes having show-stopping stunners even more accessible to all.
White30 is located at Funan #B1-19, Singapore 179105 and United Square #B1-63, Singapore 307591. For inquiries, call 6970 0767 / 6970 0767.
