Da Vinci Teeth Whitening Review: (Does It Work?)

The whitening industry is currently booming and there is no sign of it stopping

In fact we would say that the technology boom over the last few years has fuelled different sorts of whitening systems.

But let’s be honest, the experience and safety you feel at the dentist when getting your teeth whitened cannot be compared to the home based kits.

However, this can lead people into a false sense of security and what happens is some companies can take advantage of this.

On the surface they might seem authentic but once they have you in their grasp they will do everything to make you stay and sell to you over and over again even though their products don’t work.

So today we wanted to look at the Da Vinci Teeth Whitening Scam to see what goes on behind the scenes and whether it is Legit or a company you want to Avoid!

What Is Da Vinci Teeth Whitening?

Da vinci is the name of a teeth whitening brand which is based in America and has been established for a long time. They are basically a practice with a couple of different sites in various locations within Colorado:

  • Parker
  • Lonetree
  • Broomfield

On the surface it’s a simple process, you go into their practice and sit in the chair while they administer a natural based whitening serum and then apply a LED laser.

They say it takes 30-60 minutes for the treatment to work and by the end of it, you should see a noticeable change.

They Also Have A Professional Method

They also have an out of office service i.e they have a kit formulated for people to use at home which makes perfect business sense and it makes it easier for people who cannot afford the full-blown office treatment.

Again it will work in the same way as the in office treatment whereby you will be provided with a Whitening gel and a LED light.

All you have to do is place the gels in the tray and stick them in your mouth and then shine the LEDlight for 30-40 minutes and you will be good to go.

How Does Da Vinci Teeth Whitening Work?

As mentioned before there is a 3 step process the Da Vinci Company employs for maximum benefit:

Whitening Gel

This is the main basis of any whitening system because it contains the active ingredients that will help remove the stains and then gently whiten.

But you need to be careful because all gels are not made equal, you will get some that scrimp on the powerful components such as Carbamide and Hydrogen peroxide.

We advise you check the ingredients thoroughly before investing in any kind of whitening treatment.

LED Laser Light

Light apparently helps to accelerate the process and there is no doubting this because we are sure you have come across zoom whitening and other light based systems that are used in dental practices and often times they are very rapid at giving you results.

Rinse

To be honest this is not really a magical step as such, it’s basically removing the left over residue from your teeth and mouth to reveal results.

It’s probably the most nerve wracking step for most people because you will know if your money has given you the results you were after.

Ingredients In The Da Vinci Whitening Gel

da-vinci-teeth-whitening-scam

The Da Vinci whitening gel formulation is an organic plant and mineral based product with built in enamel building qualities. Scientific research has shown that the active ingredients in the Da Vinci Teeth Whitening Gels are safe and effective.

Their whitening equipment is FDA approved and has been used throughout the dental and cosmetic community for years. Da Vinci Teeth Whitening say that their gels do not change or damage the structure of the teeth; it merely lifts and removes the stains, making your teeth whiter.

A very small percentage of clients may feel some tooth sensitivity, especially if they are dehydrated or consume very cold/hot foods or drinks within two hours after the whitening session.

Any sensitivity is short term and tends to disappear within 24-48 hours. They do offer solutions for those that are concerned about sensitivity.

The Good

Physical Address

We have read through the whole website and they do seem very convincing because they have a telephone number and the addresses of all the 3 locations in Colorado. If you are living in that area and need help with anything relating to teeth whitening you could go down and ask them.

Established Since 1999

Most businesses get found out very early on if they are not acting according to industry standards and this is a good way to know if there are any problems beneath the surface. Da Vinci have been in business for 20 years now which means they are obviously doing something right.

Works On Crowns And Fillings

Supposedly the whitening system will remove staining from existing dental work and take it back to the original colour.

All the whitening kits/systems we have come across cannot do this which makes Da Vinci stand out from the crowd. They even mention that their goal is to clean up the existing dental work and whiten the natural teeth to match for a nice even smile.

Of course they cannot whiten them beyond the original colour of the material used at the time of placement but If your existing dental work is not in your smile line it won’t matter either way because it is not visible.

The Bad

Prices Are All Over The Place

If you do a simple search on google about Da Vinci prices you will be taken to various sites all stating a different plan.

This is really confusing and even worse is the fact that they apparently have different locations within the USA rather than the 3 they mentioned in Colorado.

You will definitely have to call them up and find out about the exact prices because you won’t get them online.

Black Light Controversy

We have not seen this ourselves but judging by other people’s experiences, there is a little scam going around in the whitening industry, especially when it comes to in office whitening.

This is what one person said:

“The DaVinci SCAM is that DaVinci Teeth Whitening system uses special “BLACK LIGHT” lighting in the treatment room so that when you are through… there is an appearance that a large improvement has occurred….but when you get into regular lighting the real improvement is measurably less.

The special DaVinci lighting is like the lights used in a night club that makes anything white look bright & iridescent. Quite a Little SCAM they have going there… I am looking into what it takes to file a class action suite ….

When I brought this up to the Corporate person she skirted the subject & would not address it directly…”

We can’t verify if this is true or not but it does ring alarm bells!

Customer Service

There is a portion of customers who although enjoyed the whitening experience had rude people to deal with, whether this be on the phone or in person.

We know there’s always going to be a few bad eggs in any case, this is to be expected.

Mixed Customer Reviews

To be honest most of the reviews are positive and we have not seen a reason to tell people to stay away from this company. At the end of the day, it’s a relatively big corporation and there will always be complaints whether you like it or not.

But to give you an idea of what customers are saying, let us give you a few examples:

Our Verdict

If you live in Colorado and need advice on teeth whitening or want an affordable professional experience then we suggest you go down your local provider and see what they have to offer.

It will most likely be a good experience, but don’t be pushed around.

Stay strong and don’t be persuaded to go for the treatment if you don’t want to.

They also have a whitening kit you can take home and use but honestly there are no reviews on that whatsoever so we don’t know if it even works. There are other Home whitening Kits that are guaranteed to give you results.

Alternatives

Crest 3D White Whitestrips Light

This teeth whitening kit is one of the best on the market. It’s cheap, easy to use and efficient, in comparison with other available alternatives like office whitening procedures.

More so, the added boost by the handheld Light device guarantees optimum and sustained whitening results to any set of teeth, irrespective of the degree of stains.

Crest 3D White Whitestrips Light is produced by the reliable Procter & Gamble (P&G) company which has been preserving oral and dental health for the past fifty years.

You’ve seen from the several independent reviews and feedback from various consumers and buyers, that their solid reputation as a top brand in the sector hasn’t waned and still stands aloof.

They’ve remained the leading producer and manufacturer of oral and dental products for so many years, matter of fact, Crest is the first oral health brand to introduce mini handheld LED-light in dental whitening products.

This is a friendly teeth whitening brand you can trust.

FAQ’s

I Am Concerned About the LED Light Being Used Inside My Mouth. Will It Affect Me in Any Way?

Quite a common concern since lights are correlated to radiation. However, they are most efficient and least harmful in terms of UV rays or radiation.

The blue light activates the hydrogen peroxide in the gel, which goes into the enamel depth to remove stains.

The purpose of LED light is basically to speed up the process, make sure that the gel used penetrates through for an effective treatment.

What About People Who Have Occasional Gum-Bleeding or Pre-Existing Mouth Infections or Tongue Soars?

The dentist examines your mouth, as well as you are asked to fill out an extensive questionnaire. However, the teeth whitening procedure may not be suitable for everyone. Be concise about all your allergies.

The ingredients used with Da Vinci are all organic and natural, and the equipment is FDA approved, benign to the insides of the mouth.

There is a disclaimer that you might experience mild sensitivity for a day or two, but let the doctor know if you have pre-existing gum or teeth sensitivity.

Does The Teeth Whitening Procedure Work for People with Crooked Teeth or Tooth-Gaps?

We have teeth whitening strips in the market. The problem with the strip is that it’s a linear application, quite an impediment to misaligned teeth. Professional treatment at DaVinci’s uses a gel application, making sure it’s evenly applied.

Apart from this, if you want to go for DIY at-home kits, applicators like a pen are available in the market where you have better control to where you want to apply the gel, all nooks reached, every gap covered.

Can Heavy Smoker Restore Their Smile from Stubborn Stains?

A long journey for sure, needing more appointments than an average person. The professionals test out the shades of your teeth to customize a treatment. You can try out a few home remedies like rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide.

Alternatively, you can also start using the Crest 3D Whitestrips to reduce the stain gradually, and then you can opt for professional whitening for more effective results.

But reality check though, you have to pipe down you’re smoking because if you just keep getting these treatments after chain-smoking, there are high chances that you might end up damaging your enamel, compromising the effectiveness of these treatments.

Should I Opt for Brands Claiming Stronger Concoctions for Teeth Whitening?

Any brand that markets its USP as “stronger, more effective, lasts longer” should be viewed with some skepticism. Highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (the most common ingredient) can affect the roots and lead to weaker gums.

Besides, you don’t want to end up with a fawning white smile.
