So my second update on this as I actually got my treatment eventually.
I went on Saturday to their Edinburgh salon. I turned up outside a Business Centre. After waiting for 15 minutes someone finally answered the door. I would say at best the 'dentist' performing the treatment was no older than 20.
We were led inside to a small room with 3 beds lined up and were receiving our treatment with other clients. I don't find this very professional but that's just me.
We filled in some forms and the 'dentist' took us through what we needed to do.
Long story short Megawhite are not allowed to put anything on your teeth and you have to sign a form saying you fully administered the procedure yourself. This is due to them not being real dentists, they are not allowed to do this procedure. Its a loophole in an otherwise illegal procedure.
Bearing in mind Megawhite also don't use bleach so your results are going to be minimal. We had our teeth measured against the scale and told our color. Both myself and my friend disagreed with the woman as she definitely bumped our color up the scale. ( I'm assuming this is to make it look as if there is a bigger drop after the procedure).
We were told the procedure lasts for 30 minutes and we put the gum shields in our mouth. Our gums were not protected and no proper equipment was used unlike when you go to a real dental practice. I'm assuming this is down to the fact they are not allowed to actually touch your teeth.
The light was put on our teeth and the 'dentist' set the timer. There is a little screen on top of the UV light with the timer and it was only set to 20minutes. Nice try.
I also noticed that as the screen was on it had a loop of pictures and text. I'm really picky and it has nothing to do with the procedure but i definitely knocked a star off for unprofessionalism as there was a lot of spelling mistakes and errors on the screen. You would think if they know someone is staring at that for 30 minutes (20 minutes in our case) that they would check for these errors.
Anyway, 20 minutes later we spat all the stuff into a bag and had our teeth checked again. Honestly? No difference.
The other girl that had been getting her teeth done in the same room as us was very unimpressed. The 'dentist' measured her teeth on the scale and started going on about how much whiter they were and how much of a difference. The girl just sort of mumbled and the 'dentist' was kind of taken a back and had to kind of reassure her that they had changed a 'little'. Her exact words.
Once asked if the girl liked her teeth she literally said nothing. Not a word.
She then told us that we would need to pay for another 3 or 4 sessions at £150 to get perfect white teeth.
Would rather go to a real dental practice and get real results.
So although Megawhite tried to make it better I honestly think their procedure is a complete waste of time and money and id avoid at all costs
