Meet our patient Caroline Cuming who did just that…

Why did you decide to go ahead with tooth whitening?

Caroline – It is something I had thought about for sometime, two of my Friends had already had their teeth whitened at Olivers Dental Studio and their results were great. I wanted my wedding day to be special and I did not hesitate in asking Olivers for help.

What was the procedure like?

Caroline -The procedure is totally painless. The experience starts with a well explained consultation. I was told I might experience a little sensitivity therefore I was totally prepared but can honestly say I did not experience any sensitivity at all. The trays you wear for 14 days do take a little getting used to but they are so well made they cause no pain or discomfort at all. The final appointment involves a laser light shone onto the teeth to boost the whitening and the whole thing is over in less than an hour.

What did you think of the results?

Caroline – Absolutely fantastic! It is the end result that instantly showed me that my teeth were more discoloured than I thought. My tooth shade changed considerably, I wish I had the treatment years ago.

What difference did this make to your wedding day?

Caroline – It made a world of difference. It brightened not only my teeth but made the final presentation perfect!
Hair and make-up stayed in place and my smile shone. We were blessed with the sunniest day – it was perfect!

What would you say to other brides considering tooth whitening for their special day?

Caroline – Go for it. I know weddings are expensive and you can cut corners – however it is the brides one day to shine!
I saw this as an investment for the future not just for one day. As long as you remember to top up each month with one or two nights wearing the trays you keep that dazzling result going. It is the bride’s one day to shine!

Would you recommend Olivers Dental Studio to your family and friends?

Caroline – My twin Daughters Sally and Eve already go to Olivers and they are always well looked after. I have already recommended Olivers to friends and would continue to do so. The staff and Dentists are always friendly and the presentation of the practice is immaculate. The whole patient experience is most definitely a very pleasant one!

The Studio are giving away a complimentary tooth whitening with before and after portraits (WORTH £650.00) in our free prize draw.
Please contact Joanne or Toni at Olivers Studio letting us know the date of your wedding. Every caller will also receive a half price whitening treatment. Just contact us quoting BRIDE 10 before the end of August 2010.
Good luck !

Testimonials

Just wanted to let you know today was fabulous and I really appreciated you accommodating us with a wall backdrop. Often people are very quick to criticize and not so fast to compliment so thank you for today and hope it will be the first of many exhibitions. (North East Wedding Planners – www.newp.co.uk)

Just wanted to congratulate you & your team on Sunday’s event. It was really good (despite the awful weather) & we got a number of bookings for our wishing trees on the day itself, and also a few design consultations for stationery. Thank you all for your hard work in organising & advertising the event, I know how much work goes into it.
Well Done! (Wendy Reed – www.by-wendy.co.uk)
