Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to noticeably enhance your smile in as little as one treatment. Our professional teeth whitening treatments utilize a powerful yet safe whitening gel that is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration and yellowing on the tooth enamel. Teeth whitening is available in both in-office and take-home systems. Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.

If you have ever wished that your smile were whiter and brighter, teeth whitening might be right for you. Through professional teeth whitening, we can lighten staining and discoloration caused by various factors, such as:

• The natural aging process
• Poor dental hygiene habits
• Consumption of certain drinks and foods, including tea, wine, coffee and soda
• Smoking and other forms of tobacco use
• Illness
• Certain medications
• Fluorosis

The Zoom whitening system in particular is highly effective in brightening your smile. Zoom whitening produces immediate results, speeding up your treatment time, and has been known to whiten teeth by up to eight shades in a single in-office whitening session. Other benefits of Zoom whitening include:

• Treating all your teeth simultaneously
• Longer-lasting results
• Reduced tooth sensitivity following treatment
• Removing stains on restorations, including crowns and veneers
• A very safe procedure and treatment

The whitening procedure itself is very simple. Our dentists and hygienist will place cheek retractors to expose your entire tooth surface and paint or cover your gums to reduce sensitivity. The whitening gel will then be applied, and a light will be used to activate it. After about 15 minutes, the gel will be removed and we will rinse your mouth. This process of placing the gel and rinsing your mouth will be repeated three times. When finished, you can leave our office with a renewed smile.

Our dentists will work with you to determine the right type of treatment and treatment length to achieve the smile aesthetic you desire. To learn more about professional teeth whitening and to set up your consultation at our office, please call us today.
