Hi sorry to take so long to respond have had computer problems, about the teeth whitening process rang made an appointment at D.Suscipto's offices he was busy and I was flying home in two days so got his off sider and sorry left my reciept in bali so dont have his name but hes in the same building if I can get name Ill post again.It took two and a half hours with your mouth wide open with some sort of contraption keeping it that way no discomfort only a few jaw locks that you wiggle your mouth around go away.The denist was highly professional and described each procedure.First they give you a tablet for any sensitivity it didnt make me drowsy or numb then they clean and paint something to the teeth oh first they glamoursly paint around your mouth with this cream so the lazer wont effect your skin and place a cover over that.The lazer takes three sessions of 20 minutes at a time zapping away while your mouth is connected to some brace so you dont move a muscle didnt find it so bad accept wanted to go to toilet half way through and couldnt bring myself to walk out into the foyer looking as scary as I did.They take a before and after photo for you no pain only discomfort was sitting still for so long!Everyone was loverly I didnt feel much improvement until got home to aus and my dentist said my teeth were 3 times whiter no not movie star but as white as my teeth could get everyones different apparently.It cost 420.00us which I was quoted in aus about 2,500$.A friend craig who runs coffee shop apartments highly recommended this dentist to me before I went and Im pleased now I took the time.Only drawback NO coloured food or drink for 23hours after total torture was flying out and couldnt eat all the yummy food only white rice and water hope this helps any other questions feel free to ask?I really love the nasi goreng vegetable at Petite cafe padma utara me and my friends found it one of the best in bali.
